... so failing to convert on 3rd down is not a liabilty ( including going 2 for 24 in a span of 2 games) that's minutia...

... so, scoring 16 TD's in 10 games, that's the defense's fault... they ought to "take it to the house" couple of times a game...

... so, not scoring any points off turnovers by the opposition, who cares?

..the more I see the games' results, the more than "adequate" the defense looks to me, and the worse the offense looks...

I find it very strange that, scoring very little points offensively seems to work so well for the rest of the NFL, but it's out of question for this Saints team.

The Colts scored how many offensive points the first 4 weeks of the season? How many points offensively did the Pat's score throughout the Playoff in route to the Superbowl Brady's first year?

How many points offensively did the Buc's score in route to the Superbowl?

How many points offensively did the Panthers score in route to their Superbol trip?

How many points have the Bears scored this season on offense?

How many points offensively have the Panthers scored this year?

BoB, my dear BoB... you really need to stop and think before you post...

...let ME ask YOU a couple of questions:

On how many games during their Superbowl run did the Bucs turn the ball 5 times, or failed to convert less than 3 3rd downs, or failed to score points of 3 turnovers, or scored less that 10 points and won?

On how many games during their Superbowl run did the Panthers turn the ball 5 times, or failed to convert less than 3 3rd downs, or failed to score points of 3 turnovers, or scored less that 10 points and won?

Answwer to both questions: none

Do you see it, or do I have to explain it to you? Te offense has been so abyssmal this year that it is hanging the very average defense out to dry...

..you obviously don't want to see it, because the first thing that comes to your mind is defending Brooks, since he's part of the offense... obviously your fandom is devoted to a player, not the team...

... of course, it is easier to blame it all on the defense, and ask why they aren't as good as the best defenses of the past and present...
