Coach Gibbs might consider extending stay.

When the D was needed to win games they didnt come through. that why I believe they are mediocre.

You seem to have some pretty unrealistic expectations of what it takes to call a defense good.

Stats need to be taken with a grain of salt at times, but when most of the stats indicate our defense is in the top third of the league in the major categories, I find it hard to disregard those and call the defense mediocre.

And just going by what I've seen personally, I'd say our defense is a good one. Not great, but certainly not mediocre. If our D is mediocre then I guess 2/3 of the league must be medicore to bad.
