People claiming this game indicates he wouldn't be a good HC must think there isn't a single good HC candidate in the entire league then because all defenses have games where they get ripped.
I'm not not acknowledging he's a good OC, I think he is. I'm saying people who claim he's good but the DC is bad don't make any sense with their reasoning.
One thing I can say for sure about Matt Patricia: he's not Marvin Lewis. I'd take him over Marv in a second and never think twice about it.
Now, could Patricia be worse than Marv in the long run? Of course. But he would have been a change from the status quo, for better or worse. It's a risk I would have been completely fine with. I'd certainly be more excited for primetime, steeler and playoff games with Patricia as head coah. Right now, (Barring a lucky bounce) all are essentially hopeless.
