I agree the O is more to blame overall, but it's naive to think the D hasn't had a role at times this year as well. Especially during the 4th quarter as of late, not including today of course.

Fair enough, but once again, everyone focuses on our D in the 4th quarter because our offense can't score 20 points in a game (hell, make that 17), so no matter WHO we play, they are in it late and our D has been on the field all day and the pressure is ALL ON THEM.
I'm still trying to figure how this is somehow an inferior argument... but ok.
I'm also still trying to figure out my true feelings on the whole "4th quarter is more important than the other 3" thing.
and let me finish with this... one guy just posted what it seems a lot of you think... "We NEED an elite defense, though"
It's CRAZY to me for people to demand we be the '85 Bears, '70s Steelers or early '90s Ravens. We have a GOOD defense. Let's talk about how our offense, out of all of the teams with new offenses and new QBs is FAAARRRR behind the rest, and drop the blaming the D.
