Say what you want about the defence

[Davidson Deac II]

What is this defence that you speak of? Are we limey's now? :)

But our defense has mostly played well this season up until crunch time. For most of the games this season, ouf offense has played poorly for the entire game. The d is better than the o by a longshot, but the team has mental problems right now. While its not all Rivera's fault, he and the rest of the coaching staff are going to have to go.

But once again the offense put up just 14 points and managed 18 first downs. They achieved just 10 yards in the first quarter.

defense plays better just by itself at the end of games and we are 6-4 instead of 2-8 and very much still in the playoff race, with impressive wins over the Falcons and Bears.

Yeah it's all the offense (rolls eyes)

baha you guys trying to argue whether offense or defense is more to blame? they both suck

[King Taharqa]

Say what you want bout the defense, but they are grossly overrated on the Huddle. They are mentally soft to the point they help the other team win at the end of games. They just quit in OT yesterday and have lost more games than I can count the last 2 years.

the fact of the matter is we were in a position to win the game, and the defense didnt hold up. they score a touchdown with no timeouts, ok cool they still need a 2 pt conversion. Ok, two point conversion, its tied but at least we have overtime. Nope, they march right down the field and score a touchdown. thats back to back to back situations in which the defense failed, we had an 11 point lead with 6 minutes left. Name one defense that lets that happen?

You are neglectign to see that the anemic offense is putting the defense in a position where they have to shut down teams late in the game.

Offense avg 14 pts a game is a HUGE problem in the NFL.

Im not saying our offense is doing its job, im just a firm believer in situational opportunities and if you are in a position to win the game, then it needs to happen. Whether thats the defense making a stop, or the offense marching down the field, it needs to happen. The Defense has blown some pretty bad would-be wins for 29 other defenses [ATL, CHI, TB]. Those three games alone still make me go punt kittens off the side of a cliff.
