It's not a good defense, it's a an average to below defense in a down year against a very weak division and more than a few below average opponents.

It’s bizarre to me that the same people who shit all over last year’s defense think highly of this one. Last year, they held three straight opponents to 9 points, including a Dallas offense that ranked at the top of the league and a good Raiders offense. They were playing pretty well down the stretch, despite giving snaps to scrubs like Sorenson and Niemann. This defense might be more talented, but we’re not seeing the results yet.
