That's just 1 of many mistakes.  What about the drafting, what about the interior dline, what about the pass rush behind Allen and Walker, what about the play calling?  They just fired Caldwell.  Why fire Caldwell?  I agree with the firing but maybe he just made a few bad calls and doesn't have the talent on the interior dline. Caldwell just mad a few mistakes on play calling that's all so why fire him?  If we would of kept the DC you would have thought it's the right decision, if we fire him you think it's the right decision lol

I don’t think it was just defensive performance down the stretch. You add in the comment from Wingard about guys “not playing assignment football all year” and it sounds like he was allowing guys to get away with playing undisciplined.  That would solely be his responsibility to fix, if we’re taking Wingard’s comments at face value.
