Mr. Nostril Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 This seems like the most unlogical way to deal with this situation. However, I've seen way too many posts blaming the defense for not causing turnovers, and the media is echoing this. I'm not saying we have the perfect defense, but it was the offense who dropped the ball 3 times. A defense that gave up only 2 tds, under 200 yds in the air, and 100 yards on the ground, against last years #1 ranked offense, and this years 4th ranked rushing offense, doesn't deserve this type of abuse. Am I the only one who see's this as ridiculous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinzOwnU Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I don't particularly care about defense causing turnovers. Our offense causing turnovers is the reason we lost. But there's no doubt that our defense is regressing. They allowed some big plays for the chiefs that were basically inexcusable. The offense, when it's not fumbling, is clearly the superior unit. There's a lot to work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Well after weeks of hearing "If our offense scores 18 points in every game we can go undefeated" last year, and having a competent offense this year score 19 points and 21 points in consecutive games to still lose... it can be pretty frustrating.

Mr. Nostril Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 Well Ig J started this thread with basically the same idea as yours http://extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120953 I'm sorry, I did a search. The subject didn't state the point clearly enough. I also wasn't sure exactly what words to search for. Feel free to delete me. I'm a good sport.

AzSkinsFan63 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I think it's safe to say..that turnovers and defense lost this game...not one or the other, but both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslowalrob Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Then why not say that Offense and Defense lost the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Nostril Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 I think the offense is responsible for more big screw-ups. The defense gave up one big play(the holmes td). The offense also gave up one big play(the fumble return). So, it's even, But the offense dropped the ball 2 more times besides that play. I think a defense is allowed to give up 1 td drive without getting too much flak. Also the defense ISN'T doing something that would make us better. The offense IS doing something that makes us work. It makes more sense to complain about the part that's actively hurting the team, than the part that's passively keeping us from moving to the next level. I love the improvement, but contrary to the comment of "Redskinzownyou," I have to say the offense is still the inferior unit. The defense is holding opponents to field goals or less, when the offense gives them a short field. It's still the defense that's keeping these games close.

PCRoughrider Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 This wasn't the defense's fault. You can't give the ball up 3 times, one returned for a touchdown and expect to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLiverpool Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 The offense in turning the ball over too often, and the defense not causing enough turnovers is a problem. This was as frustrating a game to watch as I've seen this season, because the Skins are better then last season, but finding ways to lose, rather then win. If anything, the Skins are building towards success, and believe Gibbs is doing a good job in reversing the Norvitis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREDICTOR Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Its all about coaching. They choose the players...they play, or start the players. And sometimes they bench players....but pay them 60 million dollars anyway. Its all about coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
