spkb25,

I like your enthusiasm.

I guess, what it comes down to for most of us is this: our defense, even if it is good (which is of course a different argument) could be much better if we\'d taken the time to really beef it up in the offseason (rather than gambling on rookies).

People are frustrated that we have a good offense (though that too has been called into question this preseason), but don\'t have the defense to match. Pretty well everyone will agree that over the past few seasons our biggest problem has been run defense, and since it appears that has improved little, people are becoming very impatient with that.

I guess, it is my opinion that it will come together and we\'ll have fine year, but most people have been thinking that this is our year (I think that we need at least one more year of building and better player assessment this coming offseason). Seeing the almost completely random (or at least inconsistent) play of our defense and the inexplicable inability of our offense to catch the ball, that belief has been shattered - causing much frustration.
