You guys are right. The D lost this game. Gave up 7 fricking points! That is awful. Don't they understand they need to pitch a shutout?Â
Cracked open like an egg -- give me a break. You have a 10-game sample size of utter offensive ineptitude, reinforced in spades in this game, and you blame the D? OK - you are right. Failing to stop our opponents on EVERY POSSESSION OF EVERY GAME does indeed constitute defensive failure.
And they did indeed fail to stop Utah in the second overtime. So the D lost the game.Â
I keep seeing these references to "the offense was moving the ball well." Bullsh*t. Moving the ball between the 20's doesn't count for anything except yardage statistics. The point of offense in football is to SCORE POINTS. Not just to move the ball in the middle of the field.
But since the O was moving the ball well and the D failed yet again in crunch time, the offensive coaching staff can take comfort yet again this week that the problem is not on THEIR side of the ball.
