The 'so what' is this coaching staff and GM decided to go into this 'playoff bound' season with a bunch young, inexperienced players and/or low draft picks at probably the most critical positions on D' and it's backfiring horribly. I don't know what options they had, but they should have known better and perhaps kept or signed players who may have helped in case this did happen. I mean the Jets went out and got Cromartie so it is possible to take a chance and get a decent player that can help. WTF...they kept Molden?!? What has he ever done except spend time on IR? Not saying it can't change for the better, but nothing gives me the impression it will get better any time soon. At least not against playoff caliber QBs.
What else amazes me is we can't get a decent pass rush despite all the picks and money we've invested up there. I see teams with half the (supposed) talent we have get better, more consistent, push than we do. It's not all about sacks, it's about disruption. We can't even get that. Manning rarely had anyone even remotely close to him. Unbelievable.
Yeah, we're 3-2 and that's great. But if this team isn't careful, the Chiefs, with a very good physical D, will come in here next Sunday and give them a beat down and it won't look so rosy then. Confidence will go down the crapper. As it is, this team is going no where with this defense and it's penchant for getting bitch-slapped by physical teams.
