Personnel is the issue. Guyton and Ihedigbo starting, Molden getting lots of PT, those guys don't belong outside of special teams and occasional reps at defense.
The Merriweather, Crable, Wheatley, Wilhite, Butler, Cunningham, Brace picks should all be solid contributors for our defense right now.
It isn't lack of talent. The defense played EXCELLENT in the red zone today. Their scheme outside of the red zone is the problem. The defense has a lot of talent on the D-line, at linebacker, and McCourty and Chung. There are enough pieces here for an above average defense. The scheme is absolutely terrible though, I have a hard time believe Belichick is running this, it has to be Matt Patricia.
You can't expect to win when yourt offense has one good drive. And horrible drives. This is on the offense in this game. I know it is against the rules to blame the offense but the stunk up the joint.

One drive over 4 mins, when you know your defense is struggling getting them off the field
