Don't blame the defense

That said, they managed to score 31 points which at point had them at an 11 point lead late in the 4th QTR. To anyone saying that it's the offense that is primarily at fault that we lost are either stupid (or at least stupid when it comes to football) or have an agenda.

I don't think anyone can argue that the offense couldn't have played better on Sunday, but scoring 31 points more times than not is enough to win a game no matter the opponent. So, yes, the defense IS to blame, or, at least, PRIMARILY to blame. 

If the defense gives you the ball via turnovers 3 times and one of them being damn near in the end zone, then not sure the offense deserves credit for all the points totaled.

Still say its a team loss, yet agree with you that the defense was horrid and clearly forgot how to tackle in this game and never adjusted to the same plays being done over and over. They're not without blame at all and that's why I blame everybody.  

But all the superstars are on offense and they should score a lot every game. Just feel both sides of the ball played poorly but obviously you do not agree.  

Wonder how many top 5 first round draft selections are on the defensive side of the ball anyway ?

Yet if you think I'm stupid about football or have some forum agenda then that's perfectly ok, other Ho's have tried to hurt my feelings a time or two with condescension as well yet still Ive avoiding safe rooms to this very day.  

It's all good and it's only my opinion and if you find it foolish that's ok too,  because I find the way you so matter of factly state that humorous as well.

Carry on my wayward son.
