This is plainly obvious 

Did you see what a not very good raiders defense did to that chargers team just the week before

Give up 23 points?

Expecting the defense to be the Steel Curtain every week is unrealistic and is another example of the anti-McD circlejerk going overboard

You shouldn't have to be steel curtain to shut down an offense down QB1 WR1 WR2

We have been insanely loyal, patient, and dedicated for decades. It's not hard to see this is our best chance since the early 90's or maybe MCM. It doesn't reflect impatience to be concerned that chance is being pissed away.

Then tell players to stop getting injured!!!

McD is playing around with Marty as two of only three guys in the SB era above .600 with no AFC championship rings. Is that because of injuries? Does that explain the Bengals? Maybe if Tre played, we wouldn't have ***** ourselves in 13 seconds. Remember the Colts Wild Card game in which we gave up an NFL record in yards and first downs for teams who won a playoff game? I hope it doesn't take Josh Allen staring off into the abyss for another playoff game for you to grab the smelling salt.

I’m not going to bother reading this entire thread—is there something wrong with our defense?

Why? Our defense is ranked in top 10. Maybe we should look at our boneheaded QB who keeps turning the ball over.

If you look at the game to game stats, the defense has been really good.

 

The games we lose happen to be games the offense turns the ball over a ton, putting the defense in a bad situation & hoping they bail us out.

The defense went super cold for an unfortunate stretch of games with a couple of should’ve been easy wins…NE has a pretty stout defense there is absolutely no situation where you can give up 29 to the NE offense.

 

we were last in the nfl in defensive dvoa for that 4 games stretch starting with the jags game.  Outside of that they’ve been good

Have you seen WR1 stats against the Bills D this year? One of the best in the league against #1 WRs

Could not have said it better myself.
