I don't understand all the heat on Bob Sutton and Justin Houston.
Because the #1 problem for our defense was that our ILBs are terrible. That's what happens when we have three injuries for our 2 ILB positions. Terrance Smith and Ramik Wilson are terrible. Justin Houston was covering up a lot of ILB because we've proven the entire month of December our ILBs are among the worst in the league at stopping the run. We did actually keep Bell a little more in check in the second half.
Justin Houston wasn't man covering Antonio Brown. He was clearly spying Leveon Bell because it was 3rd and 3, and a screen pass was so safe it was dangerous. Houston only covers Brown in zone coverage after Ramik passes him off to Houston's zone.
It's lose-lose. If the Chiefs didn't pull Justin Houston off, Leveon Bell could have had an easy 3 yards and the game would have ended as well.
To me, the biggest problem was that Dorsey sold out our defense to boost an offense that was supposed to carry this team. Instead, the defense held their own with half their starting lineup, while our offense shit the bed with basically the entire starting unit healthy. We walked into this game knowing our offense needed to step up and they didn't, from the coaching to the execution.
