Nice post, Cad. Very sobering too.

There are a couple of things I disagree with, however. The defense does NOT suck. They are not great by any means, but they are not awful either. They've given up big plays when they're kept on the field a lot. They're good enough to keep us in it when they're fresh. When they're forced to rush right back on the field after our offense continually fails us, they get tore up. That happens to most defenses and considering our defense is a very pedestrian middle-of-the-road unit, they get tore up more than many.
The coaches know that about the D, but they planned this group as a TEAM. The offense was supposed to actually show up, sustain long drives, put points on the board, capture the lead, etc. With that expectation, you don't need the greatest defense. Since the offense is AWFUL right now, our very average defense is catching all the heat.
