That is all fair, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to be critical of the defense‘s performance today. A lot of the same things we saw in the last couple games last year and first couple games this year continue to be a problem. Missed tackles, inability to get off the field on 3rd and 4th down, lack of turnovers, lack of pressure on the QB. I can live with growing pains, but today just looked like pains. I’m not seeing any improvement over what we’ve seen in the last few weeks to think they are trending in any direction.
That being said, I have nothing bad to say about the offense. I could nitpick over the running game, but we’ve been clamoring for the offense to just throw the ball if that’s what they're good at and that‘s what they did. And they did it very well. 8 drives for 6 touchdowns. That’s going to be difficult for almost any other team to match. If the defense can start making just a few more plays, this team can be very dangerous.
