We have a good D. They seem to let down at crucial times more than I like but they get it done. Agree with Williams at CB being a huge factor in settling things.
Stats do lie - our D is mediocre

The defense wasn't the problem this year, offensive line was in shambles /incompetent. Got a little better late in the season.

The injuries on offense sunk the season. But to think beating Washington and Houston would have had us at 10-6 is bizarre. We went into those games beat to hell and still could have won them.

Seattle obviously made adjustments at half time. Bettcher had no answer for that. Recognition and in-game adjustments are lacking with him

This IMO is so wrong. Baldwin starts eating Baker's lunch and we ... continue to let that happen.
Of course you have to see what they are doing, you also have to start adjusting against what they are doing. We didn't. We never do.... NEVER. Bettcher (sic... just in case, I added that for you) does not have a clue how to change if his first half was good. He simply cannot see that the other team has solved him.
Defense is good, game plans are good, in game adjustments need help.
Saw a bit of Seattle game, Bettcher started playing him some more zone in the second half. Mmmmm...zone. Feeds the other team’s offense so they can stay in the game.

Olsen Pierre also was a huge difference in my opinion

Ya his 4 receptions was eating BB lunch, oh wait who was covering him on his second TD? Baldwin came off a bunch formation on the TD that Budda was on him. Do not recollect if that was zone or man, but I am going to assume it was zone coverage as PP would probably be on DB all day if it was man. So it was a well designed play and no doubt BB was burnt toast, not even close to DB. BB is not going to be able to stay with a #1 receiver any time soon or ever for that matter. Just my opinion
Edited after reading your thread about the game.
You didn't even see it, so I take back everything I said. It didn't matter as you insisted that the Seattle announcers just talked about their team and nothing else. So I can now see how you think DB "owned" Budda. As ZZ Top would sing "I heard it on the X'.

I think our defense is a league average defense. Gave up a bunch of points, not a bunch of yards. I think our defense underachieves based upon the defensive talent, specifically a defense with an elite CB and an elite pass rusher. A shut down pass CB and an elite pass rusher is about all a DC can ask for. If he can't elevate that, it is on him IMO.

How can you not play some zone when up by 14 points?
Because you are starting Drew Stanton, 2 3rd string RBs and some 4th string OL against a team that comes back seemingly ever 4th quarter and it's an away game - you kneed to have the defense going for the throat the entire game.

Well I would take our D over most of the others with the exception of maybe 5-10. Heck, didn't we beat to of the best D's in the Jags and Titans? And with our anemic offense. So hurrah for our D. They fought their rear ends of all season. I am proud of them, to the man.
