How was this defense ever good

[art vandelay]

Good games against the Rams, Dolphins, and even Chiefs make absolutely no sense. The only way they can get a stop is by accident.

3rd and long is an automatic first down...Howie neglecting need for LB is a joke...if they draft anything on offensive side of ball (maybe a OL as Kelce and Johnson about done) he's a moron

Nakobe Dean should be good for three games next season.

The quickest way to neutralize a pass rush is by attacking the Eagles sh*t linebackers with quick stuff. Everybody knows it.

its mind boggling because even though the offense hasn’t been great they can still be good enough to win games if there was even a mildly competent defense.

I think this is more complicated than we think. It could be the players had their doubts about the coaching staff before the 49ers game and realized after they were beaten so badly that they did not trust them.

Something about that 49ers game definitely broke this team.

At this point I want to know how they forced two 3 and outs to start that game.

The illusion was shattered.

they got pressure on Purdy. They adjusted with an extra blocker and three into the uncovered middle of the field for the rest of the game.
