I agree with what you are saying.  Yesterday the DB's played fine, and certainly weren't the reason we lost.  But compared to expectations, I can't help but think they could have/should have done better.  I mean it is one thing to get beat by Darnold throwing pinpoint passes to well-covered receivers; it's quite another when you fail to have any big plays against a non-descript QB and a set of receivers.

I think yesterday the only player who acquitted himself well was Bryce Love.  I might add that the defensive line played adequately (at least until the end when they tired out), which represents a pretty good outcome compared to the rather low expectations we had going in.
