our defense has moments of greatness

You can say that again........

I would love to know when our D has ever had a "moment of GREATNESS" this season..........

The goal line stand against the Chargers?

You mean the drive where our defense gave up 91 yards in the final 2 minutes of the game? Honestly, first down was a solid play by our D (dispite Woodhead being injured). On second down, SD runs an odd fade route that Gates was held on. On third down Rivers throws a bad pass. Good stand by our D, but I didn't see "greatness".

That all being said, it was EASILY the best 3 collective downs our D played all year --- but I don't consider 3 consecutive downs a "moment of greatness". Maybe an entire quarter or half, but 3 downs after letting their offense march down the field 91 yards?

But like you said, it's all in the eye of the beholder. And I'm not hating. I think the vast majority of objective NFL fans would laugh at the term "moments of greatness" and our D being used together. And you did say "moments"; this was only 1 instance.

2nd down - Gates wasn't held. He was still within five yards of the LOS, and once the ball was in the air, Hall released him.
3rd down - Not a bad throw. He had no one open, so he threw it away.

Kyle only "needs to go …" if he and Robert do not want to work together to make this offense better
