I believe last year our defense had quite a few takaways but the offense could not convert. Also when the offense or special teams gives the ball up in the red zone you should expect points one way or another unless it's our offense. To hold them to 3 points is the best that can be expected at least with a takaway a pleasent surprise.

Uhhh I think he's makes sense. Who in the world plans on defensive scoring to win a game. When it happens it's good but no coach plans on it. It's one thing to say that the defense sucks we all know that. It's quite another to say that they should be scoring points for us. I saw you wrote in another post that the offense can struggle but the D is not supposed to. That's ridiculous.
If our D had stopped them on that first possesion, what makes you think we would've been able to score anyway. Didn't you see that we were like 2 for 11 on third down....AB had a QB rating of 1.9 at one point??? I guess thats the D's fault too though. |

So build a defense, depend on them to score, and just have offense on the field to meet the rules? Did you just start watching football? are you from another country? Last year our offense couldn't convert on takeaways. And just by your argument that the defense needs to score for us to win you pretty much by default admit that our offense is an overpaid practice squad. How many superbowls did that Mora defense win us or playoff games for that matter? If you can't have an offense to control the clock or score if the defense can't score for them then why have an offense? And yes I just finished potty training and i still understand more about the game than you do.

Dude just drop the defensive scoring theory. The D's job is to DEFEND not score. How many defensive scores did the Colts have last year??? |

What does the Defense have to do with 2 for 11 on third down??? Or 2 fumbles?? Or 2 interceptions??? Stop living in the past...it's 2005 now. The Dome Patrol and the 3-4 is gone. Today our D sucks, our O sucks and Aaron Brooks STILL needs to go, sorry. I'm so sure that John Fox is saying....we would've won if our cornerbacks had run back a couple of INTs back for touchdowns....lo So tell me...how many defensive touchdowns a game is adequate for you?? If we had one for each of the past 2 games we would have still lost, right???? |
