Once the scored on that opening drive it felt like half the D had thrown in the towel.
I'm not going to cry for the heads of Quinn and AP though. Last season was 2 giant steps forward, this season is one big one back. I still don't think we realise what a shit stain Snyder and RR left behind.
Whitt doesn't convince me he knows what to do though, or has the guts to call out stuff (like ill discipline and pulling Wagner out of situations he's a liability). The press stuff last week had me thinking DQ was telling Whitt what to do, and I'm still convinced of that. Maybe not in season (as I think those moves almost never work out), but he shouldn't be here next year. He made 0 half time adjustments I could see and seemed afraid to try to pressure Mahomes (Luvu playing spy FFS?). We need to find our own Vance Joseph or Steve Spagnuolo, that knows what to do and when.

Joseph has done a real nice job with that defense. And I also did not get Luvu playing spy. He's not real good in open space. None of our LB's are. Made zero sense.
