It is bizarre that we take basically the same damn roster, fire the coach who struggled mightily in situational football, hire a coach who emphasizes its importance, and completely reverse our fortunes.
Everyone knew the problem. We lost 8 of 9 games by one score. The one exception: Cousins' covid game. We set an NFL record for the worst defense in the final two minutes of the half. An NFL record! But what's clear now is that it wasn't just bad defense. It was dysfunctional coaching and play calling that repeatedly put us in bad situations.
To have it spelled out so obviously is pretty remarkable.
