Yes they missed a bunch of tackles, but other than that I'd say they were fine.
They were on the field A LOT this game and played a ton of snaps, people don't take that into consideration. Between that and the fumbled punt, they were asked to do a whole hell of a lot Sunday and I'd say they kind of stepped up.
I do have my concerns about the DT room going forward (like I did before the season started).
Any team that "misses a bunch of tackles", can't get to the QB especially with ZERO inside pressure and gives up the same easy inside slants for 3rd down conversions is not fine. Maybe in your world but if you really understand the game they were not fine. They got beat by a team that threw for less than 120 yards who pretty much did whatever they needed to and, more importantly, whenever they wanted to. Don't let the 16 points given up tell you differently.
