if.... if ....if....if

My point is that despite all the things you mention we were a couple of completions (read, not dropped) away from winning both of these games. If (and that's a huge if) there's one positive to take away from both games it's that as bad as we've played we were in both games till the very end.

It's hard not to be negative but I don't want to bury my head in the sand either. I just think we can still turn it around.

You could say the same thing about interceptions, missed tackles, inability to cover....etc...

I'm not "burying my head" or being "negative".
I'm being realistic and clear headed. Our defense is very VERY bad.

Yeah, very! A perfect example was that 60 + yarder that Smith put on us. The CB blew his assignment, obviously, but that's the kind of thing that can be corrected.
