Lack of turnovers by far the biggest issues, 2nd worst in the league. There are players with as many turnovers. It is all things considered slightly below average I think, big improvement over the past but still a long way off what we need. 

 

Slightly below average defense? After just beating the colts lol.

the last 3 games our defense is tied for 8th in points allowed /game

defense is balling imo

They are balling. Cherry on top would be some turnovers because they can't seem to force any.

Our defense on the season ranks 24th in ppg (25.4) and 13th in ypg (331) but the numbers are skewed because we just got absolutely hammered in both of the Chiefs games. Outside of those two matchups I think that our defense has been pretty damn good for the most part this season. We've only give up 30+ in 4 games (Chiefs x2, Bengals, Cowboys) while we allowed 30 ppg on the season last year.

3 games doesn't = season. One of the worst takeaway Ds in league, one of the worst redzone Ds. Turnovers are not a cherry on top they are an essential part of a good D.

Wonder which game this year you think the defense played the poorest in

its crazy we’re 13th in yards allowed but 24th in points allowed per game and 2nd fewest yards allowed per point.

Think games like the Ravens was bad with all their injuries, Dolphins was absolutely awful. Made a back up QB look like Mahomes. Chargers was pretty bad, Herbert did what he wanted all game. Chiefs both game was absolutely destruction.

They've played really well last 3 weeks albeit against Nick Mullen, Drew Lock and Carson Wince. 

We have by far the worst red zone D in the league, 80%, so teams don't need that many yards to score on us. We are nearly 10% worse than the next team.

Or the defense constantly defends short fields and guess why they defend short fields. 13th in yards allowed should have been a red flag but continue

We are 9th worst in turnovers which isn't great but is not like you are suggesting. Titans and Chiefs worse for e.g. They are 13th in yards because teams don't go up and down field on them but when they get into redzone it is virtually an automatic score. 80% of opponents redzone visits are TDs, do you have any idea how bad that is? Saints is less than 50%.

It's really really really bad. Might even be historically bad.

Easier to score when you don’t have to gain many yards

He has a point though. Situationally, Bradley's RZ defense has just not been good this year. Obviously the defense has been very hot down the stretch, but it's one of the most important categories along with turnovers.

Once you get into redzone the playbooks change dramatically, why are the 8 other teams above us in turnovers not so abysmally bad in the redzone then? Dunno why you are so invested in a D that gives up points whenever they play a decent offense.
