Watching some of the highlights ...

The Saint's defense. Early in the season, they were playing some sound football. Last few games not so much. We allowed 240+ yards rushing on yesterday, 40 points. Not having Tanoh didn't help. I saw Granderson get his legs broke by Hurts on a scrambling play.

Feagles time of possession was well over 35 minutes. We can't get off the field on 3rd down(s). That's on the defense.

Right now we look like a bottom 15 defensive group.

The defense wore down. The offense needs to maintain a few drives. In the first half we had one drive out of ten possessions with more than four plays. That drive was six plays and was the first possession of the game. Then we only had one more possession of greater than four plays in the second half until three minutes into the 4th quarter.

I can't put too much blame on the defense. They were gassed.

Gassed or not, it's on them to stop any team from scoring. We did just enough to squeak out a W if the D held, they didn't and we went in the Loser column. We definitely don't have a quick strike high powered O anymore but Allen has had the keys to the kingdom on the D side. This is on the D. We all knew our O would be average at best and a little less than average with a backup qb, it's all on the D for a W each and every game.
