Great Job, Baalke-Tomsula-Mangini!
I took Expected points, looked at them per-play, from pro-football-reference. I then combined expected points added for both offense and defense to get a 'power rankings' of sorts (per game). On defense, we're 19% worse than the next-worst team. Overall, we're the worst team in the NFL, about 8% worse than the Dolphins.
On offense, we're the 24th-best team, nestled in between the Jags and the Texans.
So, please don't pin everything on Kap -- in fact he's played above average or even very good in 3 out of 5 games this year...but one awful game and one not-good or bad game. Run game is terrible, as is the OL. and everything is awful on defense.
