I think the real opportunity was 2 years ago when Manning beat us. The defense was better, the offense was better, no drama like this year.

Injuries killed us in '15. I agree... that was the prime year to win #7. Bell was on IR, Brown got decapitated by Burfict, D-Will was hurt and Ben was playing on a bad ankle.

Even if the Steelers had beat the Broncos there was no way they were gonna win the AFCC in Foxboro without AB, Bell and D-Will.

i think it boils down to our OLB'ers and ILB'ers that need to get better against the run. our SS has to quit missing so many tackles around the line but we also have to have him not worrying so much about his coverage along with the run and thats where mitchell is failing. davis is in a catch 22 trying to cover front and back to make up for mitchell. we need better tackling corners as well if we are going to run this hybrid defense. missed tackles are killing this defense. out of position is part of using this type of defense and that needs fixed. communication is key to it working and they are still not there in terms of doing that. one missed tackle makes everyone look out of position.

That my friend sounds like one hell of a lot of problems to fix in a couple of years.

People are complaining about this D and rightfully so, we were pretty bad vs the run. This is a step to try and fix it, Big Dan offered nothing and honestly Walton didn't either. If what we have isn't working time to get some players in here that at least might have a chance to work. You don't know until you try and judging by what we saw what we have needs help. Yeah we were hurt by the Ryan loss but don't blame it all on him, last I checked he was on the field when we played the Jagoffs the first game and we didn't look that good. This is my point need guys up front to take the oline off our ILB's and allow them to step up and make the plays.
