The offense could be more efficient. They don't pass or run block well, so that hurts quite a bit, obviously. But I find it interesting that when offenses struggle, everyone talks about how it hurts the defense because they wear down. That is true, though not an excuse to be dead last in defense as we were when the our offense was struggling (and we've seen just how that D looks when we DO play well on offense... Pretty much the same right now).

Yet nobody ever mentions how when the defense fails to get off the field, the offense has less possessions. That also effects how many points your offense can score. The line play is our biggest issue, but having a defense bleed to death doesn't help. And they can't use the excuse of not getting rest. It seems obvious, but it's never talked about.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
