He had to feel like he needed to score with every possession...

I agree, but we expect the offense to score on most possessions. That's nothing new. Having a bad defense is nothing new. It never used to matter before.

We've never had a defense as bad as last year or the "suspensions" year either... Both years that fans were calling for Drew's head...

Drew was pressing the issue so to speak, because the defense was non-existent...

Honestly,it always mattered to me. Even when our offense was putting up big points,I would still get irritated watching our D take the field most of the time. I love an aggressive,well disciplined,we'll coached defense.

So do we all but honestly how many such defences do you see in the NFL per year nowadays? New rules have prevented much of that and players on all levels of football are worse when it comes to fundamentals than ever.
