There's something about stuffing Lynch that gives me hope. Unfortunately we weren't able to get Wilson which would've been the icing on the cake.
That's the thing, every defense in this league goes into a game with a plan to limit one aspect and then manage the rest and make changes when needed. a defensive play call, while great for one aspect, has weakness in another. same as offense, 5 WR has it's benefits, it also has a lot of weaknesses. going heavy with an extra lineman as a TE and no WR's just TE's and RBs on the field.
Overall I think this defense did a very good job last night, even though they did leave some plays on the field. a few 3rd and longs where they simply dominated the first 2 plays only to give up 20 on the 3rd. once a game is bad enough, but we seem to do it multiple times. A bad penalty and Ha Ha dropping picks again. Definitely room to get better, so that's good. They never quit playing and the Dline looked like they learned a few things from last week. I've had confidence in this D since last year and assuming health, I think we'll just see them get better as the season goes on.
