I know a couple posters will be really upset to see this...

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.

So, worse than Austin. Only problem is they don't have Marvin to step in and take over anymore.
