It's a team game, when the offense struggles it puts more pressure on the defense. Going three and out twice didn't help the defense at all to start the game.
Getting rid of the defensive coordinator isn't going to change what other teams are doing to the offense nor is it going to make our #2 corner backs better nor help the pass rush.
Situational changes are necessary for the defense. I would rather see them give up a long play than die by a thousand paper cuts. At least it gives the offense more time.
Players have to play and I think the Chiefs are more injured than we know.

Suttons scheme is fine. It works. I've seen it work plenty of times. Players simply have to execute... They are not doing that right now. with Hali and Ford coming back there is hope. Hopefully DJ gets benched (never thought I'd say that) which should help as well.
One thing I will say is I would like to see Sutton get away from rushing three. Seems like teams have caught on to it and it simply is not working anymore.
