Do people expect a defense to be good

When the offense turns the ball over 3 times?

Talk all the sh*t you want about our defense, but we're not going to hold every team to 14 points. The defense put us in a great position to win late in the 3rd quarter when they forced a Falcons punt while up 17-14. We then put up one of the worst offensive series all game, punted them the ball and put them in great field position(on the CAR 49). The defense then forced a FG which tied the game, and our offense once again goes stale. That essentially ended the game.

Our interior line is poo. Our linebackers are poo. Our secondary is questionable(putting it nicely) at best. That doesn't excuse the offense for consistently coming up short in big situations.

we turned the ball over a poo load of times last year and our defense was a million times better in every way imaginable

PS. the last turnover was in garbage time with 0 seconds left, and the 1st one, there was pretty much no time left on the clock in the 1st half

I know I will change my post. Point still stands the offense is coming up short often.

I know our defense is absolutely horrible but our offense needs to step up. Most of it falls on the coaching. This post was by no means a slight to Cam.

cam can do no wrong is that right? cam had nothing to do with the failure of this team today? :rolleyes:

Please don't compare me to that troglodyte that is footballisasport.

I'm actually pretty level headed in debating about Cam.

First turnover didn't hurt the defense any and the third was irrelevant. The second one hurt, but I would say all the three and outs after we got to 17 points hurt more than anything else the offense did.

The first turnover cost us at the very least 3 points, likely 7. Momentum is a wonderful thing and a defense playing with a lead makes everything easier.

Just saying.

Tom Brady and Drew Brees throw picks all the time and you dont see them with one win. Just saying...

I would agree with you, IF our defense didn't prove you wrong every week and play like fuging swiss cheese when we have the lead....

Never said the defense wasn't partially at fault. I'm saying the offense consistently fails in big situations. You can't argue that.

We're simply not a good football team. I know it sucks to say that, but it's true. I'm hopeful that will change with a good offseason, but as for now we're probably looking at 3-13/4-12.

      He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb.

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.
