How do you throw a defense like that under the proverbial bus?
The expectations for the offense are so low and the defense too high. It's time for the offense to step up.

Let me say again: the previous games don't matter. They're irrelevant regarding this argument.
The defense had far more than two chances to stop Philly from scoring, and they didn't. Why do you ignore that? We were missing tackles left and right, from Brian Westbrook -- probably the smallest back in the league. We'd get to him, but he'd break our arm tackles. But, I guess you're right: that wasn't the defense's fault.
Would you agree that it's unreasonable to demand 50 points from your offense every game? I would. It's unreasonable because of the probability that it happens is very low. That is why the numbers are important. You are demanding something unreasonable from the offense.
The defense, on the other hand, gave up 33 points yesterday. The worst defense in the league gives up 29 points on average.
