I mean that chart puts us at the 5th best defense in the NFL according to EPA/play.  I'm still pretty happy with Snow overall.

That shows how far off EPA is. Our d was bad. We were 21st in points allowed, that's the stat that matters.

Not really. If your opponent is constantly getting 30 yard fields, they are going to score more points. Those points count against the defense, even though they are defending a short field. Not saying that is exactly what happened with us, just saying short fields makes your defense look worse than it is and we had A LOT of turnovers.

I think we were actually worse than 21st because teams knew they only needed to score 14-17 points to win. They played us very conservatively because of it. When teams wanted to score, they did.

We've also invested heavily on the defense and played Mickey Mouse games on offensive roster building.

Hey our D looked great when we played against rookie QBs making their NFL debut, and Winston and the Cardinals backup.
