Yes we suck and there is blame to go around but this game was encouraging when you look at it beside the losses to Washington, Tennessee, and Houston. It was a good game and our defense did show signs of improvement. I guess some of you are still holding onto the dream we still might make the playoffs.

Your post confuses me. Are you saying the offense forced the three turnovers? The defense was not very good other than the turnovers, but it was mostly one player who was responsible for the majority of our problems on D.

We scored a defensive touchdown, got the block-two pointer on special teams, and did nothing with the other turnovers. The offense only showed up late. There's more to judging how a team plays than looking at the scoreboard. The scoreboard is what matters, as far as the outcome, but it doesn't always tell the story of how a team played. We did not look good at much of anything, other than the 4th quarter offense.

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