... hard fought... blah, blah, blah,... played their guts out... blah, blah, blah,... don't wanna take anything away from them... blah, blah, blah,... hard fought... blah, blah, blah,...

... the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...

True, but, did you honestly think our defense could not hold a lead 3 weeks in a row, either? Just wondering.

NO Defense in the league, except maybe the Bears can hold a team when the offense is basically going 3 and out on every possession. The defense gets tired and offenses are too good to get completely stuffed. It's a team game, if we are not moving the chains on O the Defense can't hold up being on the field for over half of the game.

We talked about turnovers, well we were +3 and still lost. Offense has to at least convert some first downs in order to keep the defense effective. Its no video game out there, these guys get tired.

OMG!!! I love you for this post. EXACTLY!!!!! THANK YOUUUUU. You are soo right. We are NOT the 2000 Ravens. People need to stop babying this offense and hold them up to the same excessive standards they hold the defense to.

I agree completely, the offense has had a chance to close out each of these last 3 games and hasn't got the job done... my problem with the defense is the way they let other teams back in... the look great for a while, then all of a sudden they seem to offer no resistance... week after week after week after week, they give up a huge play and that just didn't happen last year, even when the offense was going 3 and out more than they are this year...
