Again though, 1 player, 4 players, no players, Sutton has a tendency to go Andy Reid when we have a lead. I can't think of many games our defense has put their foot on the throat of other teams.

Not defending Sutton, but his 2013 defense stunk. All smoke and mirrors
His best defense was 2014, his second best was 2015
The playoff loss in 2016 was easily predicted because our run defense was far too soft to handle Pittsburgh. The 2013 loss was expected because our pass defense was atrocious in 2013. The 2017 loss wasn't surprising because our defense was a bit of a sieve
But comparing a defense with Houston, Berry, Fuller, and Hitchens to a 2002-2004 defense is a joke. People are selling the D extremely short
