I hope it would just growing pains and news faces as the reason they were so terrible. Those first five games were 2003 Chargers bad.

Originally posted by Panama View PostI suppose it depends on how you grade. Relative to our expectations of what a good defense is, your grade is fair. I think relative to expectations for a defense that has undergone a youth movement and is thin, I think a C is more appropriate.
However, your point is taken. There is a huge youth movement going on (bye-bye Phillips ). With a normal learning curve, I do see that they are, in fact, improving. With the NFL mantra being, "injuries are no excuse" I am reluctant to include that variable in my analysis, but am willing to modify my grade upwards toward a C- considering we seem to have had an unusually high amount of injuries.
Just for the record. I love the direction my team is going. With a little luck I can see us making the play-offs THIS year.
