Zimmer's problems were that his defense couldn't stop the run, couldn't sack the quarterback and couldn't get turnovers. You can't have all three of those things not happening on your defense in the biggest games of the season.

I look at those playoff games and I see our offense scored 10 points in 2011, followed by 13 in 2012, 10 in 2013, and 10 in 2014.
That's an average of 10.75 points per game by the offense. 

The defense gave up an average of 25 points per game. So your point defnitely stands. The defense wasn't very good. 

But let me ask you this:
Do you think if the offense scored 25 points per game the defense would have still given up 25 points per game?

There are plenty of ways to look at it and I think we're both right to be honest. Zimmer's playoff defenses underperformed.
