I noticed the defense was worse last year and didn't think Pagano was good then. The talent is still good this year, but we've never had much depth. I think the defense will likely get worse as they are going to lose players and some will fall off, but I dont think Pagano is a scapegoat. I think the defense plays about as bad as they can because he's an awful coordinator and has an inability to scheme to help them. Same as Nagy with Mitch
We've had the most difficult schedule against two years in a row now, based on DVOA.
Our defense has been top 10 in DVOA both years.
2018 we had the 23rd most difficult defensive schedule.
That also goes into play with things.
Pagano is not a great DC, but yes, he is a scapegoat.
