Last year our D gave us a realistic chance to win pretty much every game, other than maybe the Pats Thanksgiving game. SF game look bad on paper, but the D held them in check and kept us in it for most of the game.

Our defense declined right in step with our LBs. Draft a couple good LBs and we will be able to overcome even a poor offense again. Give us an average one, and we'll be right back in contention.
