It doesn't matter if it's a rookie playing QB out there you can't expect the defense to shut another team out. You have to score more than 17 points to win 90% of games, and the offense couldn't do that. Plus the offense really didn't give the defense much of a break. I think the offense only converted one first down in the 2nd half. That's just horrible, and if you think that didn't effect the defense then you need to rethink some things.
Its good, but not good enough. Everyone knew we were not going to put up big numbers on that D in their place. So the Defense had to step up just a little more. I wish the offense would have scored just one more TD, just as I wish the D would have kept the score down under 17. Stuff happens, it was a tough loss, but there is no way you can pin it only on the offense.
You realize we had the ball 10 more minutes than them the whole game right? Was it the Offense's fault for the 3 in the last two minutes of first half? The TD to open the second half? If you want to give them 7, fine, but don't be ignorant.
