Malcolm Jenkins=Jason David

Maybe Ive been watching football "wrong" for the past twenty years. Is the offense supposed to stop the other team from scoring, or is it the defense? Is it the defense that's supposed to guard their end of the field, even if they are put in bad field position by a turnover? Or the offense? Blame goes every which a way, on this game, and no one did their job on either side of the field. I have my opinion, and I'm keeping it. Defense plays better, doesn't give up all of those long passes to Austin, and who knows.

I get what you're saying, but, would you consider the 13 minute difference in "time of possession " last night the defense's fault or the offense for committing 3 turnovers and for basically being stagnant for 3 quarters?

The D was put in bad positions all night by the offense. When it was 14-0 Payton could still have controlled the game.
