Anyone who is looking somewhere besides the defense needs to think again.
This feels like 2018 Teryl Austin defense level bad right now.
And IIRC, Austin was let go back when the team was 5-4 after that blowout loss to the Saints.
It's actually close.
2018 - 30th in Points Allowed (28.43 PPG on the season, 32 PPG while Austin was DC)
2024 - 31st in Points Allowed (29 PPG)
The biggest leash I would personally be willing to give is until the Bye week after Nov 17.
That would give this defense another 6 games to start trying to turn it around.
If it's still bad, someone has to go. Maybe it's Anarumo, maybe it's a position coach, I dunno.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!
