Can some please explain to me how...

[AceBoogie]

You go..

From 6th to 23rd in total yards allowed

 

From 6th to 28th in total points allowed 

 

After spending 4 out of 5 picks on defense in the spring 

 

AND 

 

Spending 3 of the last 4 first round picks on defense and 3 of the last 4 second round picks on defense. 

 

WITH 

 

A defensive minded head coach. 

 

How is this even possible? 

 

Who's to blame?

Fat Ass Dave Gettleman, who doesn't know how to build a complete team.

I guess Injuries and talent differentials shouldn't be included in these questions of yours, right?

Injuries don't cause that significant of a drop, far more injuries on offense and they haven't dropped as far.

Its not like other teams in the NFL have injuries as well,  Gettleman doesn't know to how build a complimentary roster. He is fixated with 2 position.

Maybe something to do with losing 3 of your top DB'S

[Harbingers]

the fans didn't support the team enough. 

[Daeavorn]

Injuries are one thing but how many teams went from allowing no 500 yard games to 3 in one season? That is way more than just personnel. 

[GoobyPls]

It's called cutting your best DB and drafting players at position we absolutely don't need.

Well that depends. Do you expect a good Chef to be able to make a bad steak taste good?

People who are shocked just don't quite understand how the NFL works. In any salary cap based league, with the amount of turnover from year to year, it's almost impossible to maintain sustained success when parity runs deep in the culture of our sport. Add to the fact the NFL is the most physically demanding sport in the world and injuries play a huge factor, it's not hard to fathom what has happened to us this year. 

The NFL also rewards teams who played poorly the previous year and punishes teams who played great (strength of schedule, draft picks, etc). There's so many contributing factors as to why teams flip flop on a yearly basis, and to be quite frank, that's how the NFL likes it. It keeps interest high, and at the end of the day, generates more money for the league. It's a business at the end of the day, plain and simple.

A Chef can masks some deficiencies in the steak, but bad steak is a bad steak. I blame Gettleman for the roster, but Rivera should be better defensively.
