Quote:I get this, and you could certainly make that argument.

 

I just think that with a little more help from the offense-perhaps as little as maybe 3 extra first downs in that second half, the defense gets the rest it needed and doesn't give up those plays.

 

There was at least one screen Todman(?) had it gift wrapped, and several others as well.  Their defense deserves credit for the batted balls (weren't happening the first half) but there were a lot of plays left on the field that should have been made by the receivers.  One ball just about hit Marcedes in the head.  He wasn't looking soon enough and didn't even get his hands up until after the ball passed.
