Yet our defense is alway's looked upon to bail out our offense, and when they fail it's their fault not the inability of our offense to seal a game with a first down, or score a TD, do they have their faults on defense? Yes! but they are not nearly the problem our offense is!

Not to add fuel to the fire, but did you watch last weeks game against Tampa? Our offense did put up 35 points, and our D gave up 36 points. Even our D players said something to the effect, "It's our worst game, so much worse because our offense gave us 35 points," Clark said of the secondary. So that is why people are blaming our D, hell they even blame themselves. I agree that we need to step up on both sides of the ball, but after last years D performance so many were hoping for a repeat and not realizing that we were hurting this bad on our front 4.
