If (as folks want to play the if game) the Bengals had forced them into a punting situation (like they did on the opening drive) and Wash fakes it and picks up a first, then they go one to score, has the Defense done its job?
Good God I am serious, when a Defense holds a team to zero points in a sudden death situation; they have done their job. I have already admitted I am in the minority in this thread making that assertion. I suppose some consider giving up zero points not good enough.
How is a kicker missing a relatively easy field goal the defense doing its job?
Seriously. The defense had nothing to do with the missed field goal. Most if not all were standing on the sidelines. That, after they allowed them to get into position to win the game.
So again, how do they get credit for doing their job when they allow a scoring opportunity and then have nothing at all to do with causing the missed field goal?
