Good question. We allowed 25 points five times this year: the three losses, Carolina once, and Houston. I keep using 25 because we gotta figure Drew can get three touchdowns in his sleep. Then against a good defense we might have to work for a 4th, maybe settle for a pair of field goals. So when out D starts allow more than 26, 27 points, that's when I get nervous.

I agree 100%. We need to let them make those mistakes, and if we get up by 2 scores it opens up a lot for our secondary.
