    at some point a supposedly great defense has to at least play well

    The D was fine for most of the game, they just got worn out by being left on the field for too long. This happens every week where we do really well at first and then get progressively worse. We actually rank near the very top in defensive third down percentage, but we're also 24th in time of possession which means that our defenders are getting worn down. They're just being let down by an impotent offense.

    I know, but when they can't stop anyone and get off the field they will also get warn out.

    Like I said, the D has been near the top of the league in third down percentage.

    Hell, I guess I believe you but I wouldn't imagine that in a million year. Every time we get in a 3rd down situation I pretty much just give the first down to the other team.
