Not surprisingly, we pretty much aced our season.  The defense merits a B-, which is reasonable.  It played well-enough for most of the year, but didn't excel until the end.  But nice to see the D with its best games at the end.

I disagree with the B- for the defense unless that is being measured in absolute terms.  Expectations were not high with only 2 returning starters, the already thin DL was further damaged when Phillips went down, and the very young DBs did much better than expected.  B+/A- from me.
