While bolded bit is true, I think the 2nd half defence was proof as to why even scoring stats don't always matter. They gave up so much time in the 2nd half, that our offence literally needed 17 points on our last 3 drives (excluding the victory drive at the end) to win (though I guess actually, we'd still have won had the FG drive been a punt or whatever instead).
Defence came up top when it mattered the very most (which is the most important bit), but their inability to get off the field was very close to costing us today's game. But no doubt that over the season, most of the blame is on the offence.
