I'd say they still underperformed with the talent on that defense, but Kyle is probably just trying to shift some blame here. If they win the SB, Wilks still has his job today.

If Greenlaw doesn't get hurt and they don't muff a punt, they are super bowl champs and this guy is still considered one of the better DCs in the business.

I will say it seemed like Shanahan was yelling at him through the headset during the SB.

Hufanga was a big loss. Greenlaw was a huge loss at the end. The only time the D really was bad was the Bengals games. Against the Ravens they got roughed up but Purdy was giving the game away.

Of course he does.

They held Mahomes and the Chiefs to 3 points at the half and 10 through 3 quarters. Is it Wilks's fault the offense couldn't score? The defense was also exhausted toward the end of the game. Romo and Nantz talked about it a couple times.

They lost their defensive aggressiveness, even situationally.

Bend don't break to the point of dying by a thousand cuts.
