The offense is riddled with injuries and we still scored 27 on the #1 defense. No excuses to be this poor right now, especially considering the QBs we've faced

Let's not overrate the offensive performance yesterday.  Our first two scoring drives started on the Cleveland 12 and 25 yard lines due to turnovers.  Our defense contributed heavily to those scores by giving us starting field position in scoring position.  There are issues on both sides of the ball.  Need to get healthy and hot here as we close out the season.  Things can look bleak for otherwise good teams at times during a long 17 game regular season.  This is that time for us.  However, young guys are getting more experience they wouldn't have otherwise which may help us in the post season and beyond.  All is not lost.
