Is this defense going to cost us in the postseason?

Let's face it, the D just hasn't been the same since Drew has been back. What has it been? The run D is still stout, though they showed some holes against San Fran and yesterday. But still solid.
Davis, Klein and Alonso have been very good. Lattimore and CGJ have been good. Are Williams, Bell and Apple dragging us down that much? Was our defensive performances earlier in the year more of a product of us facing shitty offenses? When Williams, Bell and Apple were playing well earlier in the year, our defense was lights out. But since all three have taken a step back, so has our defense. Instead of a top 10 unit, we look middle of the road. We have flashes of brilliance like for the second quarter today and most of the third. The Colts game and most of the Thanksgiving Night game (outside of the onside kicks).
Which is so strange since Davis, Klein, Alonso and the front four have still played well despite injuries. It's a really good thing seeing our offense clicking like it is, which gives me hope, but the way the D is playing makes it seem like we are destined for another late collapse in the divisional or championship game. Besides injuries, it's got to be the play of Bell, Apple and Williams, right? Which is a shame since they played really well earlier in the year. Can 3 guys drag us down this much? Is it Dennis Allen calling horrible games?

We are missing half our D-Line and our pass rush has fallen off considerably. Why you got to be a dumbass?

Defensively they adjusted well during the game should be ok

It is very hard to get a sustained drive against this defense, but they are very susceptible to the big play. If they can limit the big plays to 2 or 3 per game, I don't think we lose, especially if they win us the turnover game.

Name the last time our defense didn't cost us in the postseason.

Do you watch other NFL defenses
The titans are currently a playoff team. Like we just outscored then 38-14 after their hot start
Like always, playoff games come down to who gets a break, a TO, big play etc. defenses are an after thought. Even so our defense holds up against any that will be in the playoffs
