The defense was the big failure. They are the ones you rely on to hold a lead more than the offense. Thats a veteran group with experience. The offense is brand new with a young coach and QB. No one should be surprised they don't quite get it together.
There's no doubt the offense has to take a step before this is a winning football team, but the defense really blew it.
They gave up 3 TD's in a half. 2 big ones. Outside of Mack in the 1st half, RRH, Hicks and one blitz by Smith the rest of the defense really sucked. All of our DB's sucked. As much as I like Kwiat he's so slow, he's a huge liability in coverage. Generally the entire time was bad at tackling. Fuller dropped an easy pick.
and as good as the pressure was in the 1st half, the pressure stunk in the 2nd half and they couldn't touch a QB that couldn't leave the pocket and he just ate them up.
