I don't think we're as bad a team as our record indicates, but we're playing as bad as our record indicates. If that makes sense.

Exactly. Our defense allowed game winning/OT forcing drives in both of the ATL/CLE games.

We don't even need a great defense to win. Honestly, if we could just have a mediocre/average defense, the offense would take care of the rest.
