Defense = Disappointment

Well, okay, I guess you have an turnover-related argument as far as costing us a winnable game. But if you take out ALL of the offensive contributions, yards, points, turnovers, and just look at the defensive contributions, you have two big plays mixed in with a completely uncompetitive game.

In reality, we only lost by 6. If I had just gone through the defensive plays only, I would have assumed a 14-17 point loss. And isn't that the real measuring stick here?

Wait, what? You're confused. If you take away the offensive contributions from both teams we would still be left with the offense spotting them 6 pts. Don't know how you can attribute the offense giving up 6 pts to the defense.

Absolutely not! There you go wanting to play the game in your head based upon statistical breakdowns. I am sure in your world Michael Crabtree is doing the right thing holding out for money he should have gotten if the Raiders would have done the right thing. GTripp are you advising Crabtree? That is the line that your logic takes us down. No thanks.

You don't really make any sense when you post.
