We Got Our Arses Whooped Tonight

The defense is what really blows my mind. I never expected them to be playing like they are. I'm not saying that the offense is a huge letdown at times as well, but I really thought the defense would be a strength. All of the sudden the DLine is having trouble getting pressure, the tackling is atrocious, our zone D allows wide open receivers every play, we can't make stops on 3rd down to get off the field, and it goes on and on. The cushion the DBs are giving is pissing me off as well. Generally they're 8-9 yards off the receiver and when they think the ball is going to be snapped, they're already in a back pedal. Even with the huge cushion and them already going further back pre or right at snap, they're still allowing receivers to get wide open behind them. It's bad.
