Starting in Week 12?
Try week 7. That's where the slide started, and it gained momentum when Houston was injured. |

The logical explanation is that because there is more game film out there, our DB's have been exposed. Even Cooper admitted that teams are exposing his technique. Our two outside corners have poor ball skills and our deep safety, whether that be Demps or Lewis, is rarely in a position to make a play on the ball. The new strat to beat the Chiefs is to simply throw it up and watch their WR's either run under it or outplay our DB's on the ball.
Knowing that, it's easy to see why our DC is reluctant to blitz and leave those guys on an island. Imo, THAT is why our D is struggling. |

We didnt deliberately cost ourselves the #1 overall seed so we could unveil our super sneaky defense on the road for all three games.
Come on, man.

we only gave up 17 and 13 points in those games? I know our defense was getting burned for big plays but I think that is the risk you take when you blitz - what bothers me is that the big plays are more consistent and we are giving up points - where before the big plays were few and far between and we still shut offenses out of the endzone

That is not what I am implying, we flat out got beat by a better QB in the Denver games - San Diego was a fluke mostly because we had 3 starters out on defense

Every DB that Dorsey has brought in has been junk so far. We were better off with Arenas at Nickel and Flowers on the outside. At least QB's respect Flowers enough to not just "chuck it up" and hope for the best. |

I like the Milkman theory. These guys are just gassed because they have played so many downs. Especially Poe who has fallen off.
Sorry, that's probably not as sexy a theory. Posted via Mobile Device |

I would agree with that but I just can't believe that Dorsey would drop Powe in favor of Hall if they had any inclination that Poe was wearing out
