With the worst defense in world history, to have the number one offense in the league is outstanding.

If we simply had a middle of the road defense we'd probably be 7-3 as we speak.

I agree completely! But with 2 rookies, 2 comming back from season ending injuries and 3 second year players starting I just could not picture a middle of the road defense. Now, no way I expected this defense! I believe we will set records we don't want to set this year on defense.

True, I really expected the young players to get better and better as the year went along. We have some very good, but extremely young up and coming players. I didn't expect a top 10 defense, but we don't need one. A mid-pack defense would have been good enough. We absolutely had the talent for that.

The big blows were losing that idiot Galette (although I agree with cutting him), and injuries to Keenan Lewis, Glen Foster, Broderick Bunkley, and Jarius Byrd. But thats no excuse for the worst defense in the history of Earth.
