And while true…is it not an indictment of the current state of the NFL that a team with a defense as bad as this one has been is still 3-3. Still in play for everything.
Kinda makes you wonder how important having a stout defense really is in todays game. Even the weakest teams in the league are able to score at will because they have created a game where it’s all about copious amounts of points scored. The “Red Zone” era.
I’m trying not to be the old man shaking my fist at the sky but I do miss real legitimate NFL defense, big hits, and running games imposing their will. The “we are running off tackle and there is nothing you can do to stop us” era. Maybe because that’s when our team was dominant.
