THURSDAY NIGHT IS ON THE DEFENSE.
 
QB issues and dropped balls and injuries aside, If we allow Dallas to look anything like the Bills Offense did early in the game, It's going to be beyond embarrassing in the Dome. The Defense had better dial up something RADICAL.

You could not be more wrong.

Are you saying that the Defense is going to look like it did during the Bills' opening drives on Thanksgiving? You may be right.

No. I think he's saying that the defense actually looked pretty good given the horrible field position and the exorbitant amount of time they had to be on the field. They held the Bill to 10 points in the first half. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. If you hold an opponent to 10 points per half you will win a ton of games in the NFL.

Last Thursday's game was on the offense and special teams. I'm not concerned with the defense. It's the other two phases that need to step up and do their part this week.

I am concerned with the DEFENSE. The Offense is beyond concern at this point, unless Fans can come out of their seats and suit up.

So we have to win without scoring points? Its a team sport and our formula to win requires great defense and ok offense. If the offense is worse than ok, thats not on the defense.

We're getting both Kamara and Ingram back this week. That'll be a huge upgrade. Add in the fact that Ramczyk is back practicing the offense is looking quite a bit more functional. Without a functional offense the best defense in the league has little chance against a decent opponent, don't you think?

Exactly. Complimentary football.

Never said anything about not scoring points. Probably won't help to score a mercy 6 in the fourth quarter, after allowing runs up the middle, QB sneaks, receivers to get free, missing multiple tackles, and being down by like 60 after three quarters.

DEFENSE BETTER DIAL IN SOMETHING RADICAL.

ALL TRUE. AND... WE NEED TO BE THE BEST DEFENSE IN THE LEAGUE on Thursday Night.
