I must have missed yesterday's game...

You can blame the offense all you want. You can praise the defense all you want.

But when you blame the offense, just recall that in the 2000-2001 season the Baltimore Ravens won Super Bowl XXXV.

And thier anemic offense did not score an offensive TD in the final SIX weeks of the regular season. Thats 24 quarters of football, without one offensive TD. All scores were either field goals or defensive scoring.

They clinched the wild card and went on the win it all.

Ultimate example of a "team" effort.

What are you talking about? Do you check this stuff? Dec.10, 2000. Against the Chargers, Dilfer completed 16 of 24 passes for 187 yds. and 2 TD's. That was their 14th game of the regular season.

OK, so are you agreeing with the original post? Those Ravens were an exception. Sure that offense wasn't very good, but that defense was probably the best in NFL history.

Is the Redskins' defense to blame for yesterday's loss because they aren't carrying the team like the best defense the league has ever seen??? Come on man.

Somehow we play great defense but can never get a defensive score.
