Of the two, the offense is definitely more to blame, though if you have a perfect storm of defense playing below par and the offense giving the ball away, you are truly screwed.
If the offense is turning the ball over a third of the time, you had better be scoring at least a third of the time or you have no chance. And, of course, we all know that all too well.
I agree. As a fan of defensive football, I feel like we just get gobbled up on defense in the playoffs.
