Colossal mistakes were made on Defense. Signing Armstead was a risk to begin with, he was injured. He is not playing great. You do not sign a third pass rusher or draft one. That alone should be a reason to fire Baalke. I am not sure what the injury was to Hamilton last year but you should have known that he is not the same player anymore. You play RRH until the 4th quarter in the preseason, you should have known he is regressing. You trusted Antonio Johnson at Safety, or you dont trust him but sign a guy that misses half the season. You hire a DC that wants to play man, whose defense cant get turnovers for that reason when in the past the defense was always shaky but came up with turnovers at opportune moments to safe the day. You draft three run-stuffing linebackers that cant cover in a passing league. You draft Walker over Hutchinson. The defense is giving up 33 points on average the last four games.
