Not making light of it but the offense had given the defense the lead twice and it couldn't hold it and technically 2 of the turnovers were on special teams which is considered defense. But enough of the blame game, let's just hope for a defense that can make plays without bringing the house on a blitz every play.

I want him to give us a D that can actually win a game on their own, you know one that puts fear and pain on their opponent. Pure destruction.

I agree. There are one or two games every year that we kind of lay an egg. (even when we "lay an egg" our offense is still better than 90% of the offenses in the league) It would be nice to have the kind of defense that could step up and win games like this for us. We can get there.

Seems like Spags was really offered the position with the Eagles contrary to what many Eagles' fans were claiming...
