This!

Why are so many ripping into every element of the team? He's probably playing hurt, and besides that, now teams have film on us and we're pretty one dimensional, doesn't it occur to people that teams are attacking our weak spots, negating what we did do well in week 1?

We have no offense, so the D is on the field far too long, and within that the LB and DB core is weak, particularly at S, so they are attacking the middle of the field. I've only looked at the 'high' lights from the Rams game, but Goff needed less than 3 seconds to throw on nearly every drop back and that includes the long TD that Collins got burnt on (Smith, by comparison seemed to have less than 2.5 seconds to set up and throw EVERY time). Pass rush didn't have time to get there.

And on Sweat's sack at least, CY was double teamed AND chipped by the RB. If he's getting DT'd regularly then the rest of the line need to step up. But even then, if the back 7 can't cover, then the DL won't have time to reach the QB anyway.
