They're an average team with a below average defense. Game on the line:
——
Stafford, 2 plays- 31 yards to win.
Kyler, 14 plays- 75 yards to win.
Baker, 11 plays- 58 yards to tie.
Geno, 11 plays- 80 yards to win.
There's no doubt the D has taken a step back, but watching those games - all 4 should have been beyond the point of those last drives making a difference.
The D does it job for 3.5 quarters and then gets the blame while the O splutters for 4 quarters and gets let off because they weren't on the field last?
We should be asking why all four of those teams were in a position to win or tie to begin with.
