Last year, our QB put together an MVP campaign, playing perhaps the most efficient football ever seen at that position. Despite the whispers (on this board) about regression to the mean, most seemed to take it for granted that we would boast one of the best offenses in the league going into this season. Welcome to the new normal: the offense is above average but not capable of carrying a poor to middling defense. If our offense failed in the second half, it was in not keeping the sticks moving and the clock running. We're not well built to play with the lead. However, given the defense's terrible showing in 2011 and the huge investment made on that side of the ball with our last draft, I think the lack of improvement there is the most discouraging these past couple weeks.</blockquote>
