SC, you said great defenses don't wear out, all I referred to was one example where one of the greatest defenses of all time got run-ragged, that's all. I'm not comparing the Skins D of last year to the Bears of '85.

That being said, the Skins D last year was very good, but certainly not great. Still, you can win plenty of games in this league with a very good defense, hopefully the offense can pick up some of the slack this year and start pulling their own weight. Our 10 losses last year were much more indicative of our offensive struggles than it was to any defensive "breakdowns". The D overachieved last year, with very little help from the offense and several key injuries they had to overcome. Any arguments as to why we had a losing season shouldn't involve blaming the defense.
