Yes I do. For me the measuring sticks are how many yards did the D give up and how many total points did they give up. In both cases they passed those metrics with flying colors.

I see. So according to that it makes sense that a defense that has essentially shut out a bottom-tier offense for 3 quarters then turns decides about midway through the fourth quarter that "guys, we've done all we need to do here... so whatever we do to end the game is just gravy".

There are a couple reasons why we lost to the Jets. An allegedly great defense letting an offense that couldn't throw the ball for anything score 10 points in the very end of the game and then seal the win for them with dumb penalties is one of them.

So according to is that it makes sense that only giving up 13 points for an entire game doesn't matter because 7 of those points came at the end of the game?

If you lose a game while your D only gives up 13 points you need to be looking elsewhere for someone else to blame. So if the D isn't perfect for all 4 quarters they're to blame?


Yeah, like that happened.
