Boutte

No matter how bad the O was yesterday (or maybe TB's D was just good) the fact of the matter is we've been scoring nearly 30 points a game all year. Every thread about the poor performance of D gets multiple responses from people wanting to point out that the loss was because of the offense. I'm not disputing that. But that was an anomaly. For the most part the O has been one of the best in the league not just this year but for the last 6 years.

The defense during that time has been marginal at best and so far this year has been just plain awful. Have you ever seen a defense give up 3rd & longs like this one? And we don't just give up a few tough yards in the running game, we give up 10-15 (or 65) at a pop. Unconventional is one thing but some of the formations yesterday were just plain bizarre. GW has a reputation for being hard nosed but that's some of the softest D you'll see from any d in the league. It's pathetic. The players aren't that bad. It's scheme.

If we don't go all the way this year it isn't going to be because of the OL or Drew Brees throwing interceptions. It'll be because our Defense is a bad joke.
