Has the team mailed it in? (If so, why?)

Agreed. We have a secondary that is getting torched left and right. I do not think getting rid of M. Shanahan will solve things but it is time to look at if Haslett is right for this team. Our defense has had some definite setbacks with injuries but we were still giving up some big plays before the injury bug struck.

Haslett isn't the right DC but even IF Shanahan sacks him the defense will struggle from lack of talent. And if the new DC might be just as inept. MS doesn't have a great track record for picking top notch coordinators.
