I don't understand how we can give the defense a free pass here. Have they not been a disappointment this year?? Seems like they can still lock a team down for stretches, but when the game is on the line they get burned for big plays.

I'm not saying the offense is beyond blame, while the unit has shown huge strides they're still not there yet, but when I see people let the defense off the hook it just makes me scratch my head. The D can't generate consistent pressure, they are horrible at creating turnovers and they are prone to giving up backbreaking big plays.

I seem to remember us saying last year if this offense could just average 20 per game we'd be in great shape. Well, the offense is averaging nearly 20 (19.7) and look where we are, meanwhile the D is giving up over 20 (20.4).
