If our defense had performed as expected, or even middle of the road, we'd be looking at 6-4 (maybe even 7-3) instead of 4-6.

Since we have basically the same or better talent than we did last year when we were a top 10 defense, I have to put the blame on Rob Ryan and his crew.

Well the defense isn't going to improve especially considering recent injuries.

So we're F'd is what you're saying.
