What in the **** is wrong with you people?
Does anybody realize that after losing DJ we were practically playing a safety at LB for the month of December? We lost 2 starting DL, two starting ILB (one being a pro bowler), and we had a starting #2 CB who was picked up off the trash pile in midseason throughout the season. This is after an offseason where Dorsey shorthanded Sutton by not filling obvious gaps through free agency, while Andy Reid continued to stack his offense with weapons.
The month of December was a limp for the defense. We were getting gashed in the running game. I thought we'd give up 30 points to Pittsburgh and I wouldn't have blamed us.
Good lord, people. Sutton didn't coach a perfect game. But he had an effective enough performance against an elite offense given what we had. It was more than enough to win. I don't know in what world anyone believed that a defense forced to start Ramik Wilson and Terrance Smith with a bunch of rotational 2nd and 3rd string DEs we were going to have much success against Leveon Bell and the 2nd best pass protecting OL in the NFL.
