Not 9 weeks of mediocrity, 9 weeks of steadily marching toward having the worst defense in the history of the league.

There IS a BIG difference. I would love for this defense to be mediocre right now, it might have meant one or two more wins, and we would still be in the hunt for a playoff spot. The defense is absolutely atrocious right now though, with no end in sight. If we are planning on Merriwaeather to save us, my god help us.........
