100% agree - hard to do better with our 3 best pass rushers out, 2 starting CBs out, and our LBs playing with their feet in concrete. The Denver running game was no real threat and with no meaningful pressure on Nix, he's good enough to do what he did. We also put up over 400 yards of offense on that D (and had more yards than Denver did), and the team played with intensity throughout. I also liked going for 2 -- why in the world not -- and the playcall was solid (bad throw but McNichol was open).
I actually think we're going to win a few more games this season (Vikes, maybe one of the Eagles games, and Giants) -- won't help with draft position but I just cannot bring myself to hope for them to lose.
