[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 974287, member: 10441"] I don't think a 20 yard drive is a lot, It's not as if the defense completely caved, a FG is ok. But I do expect more. Defenses rise to the occasion. Great ones do anyway. We seem to shrink at times. The FG was a time they could have rose up and just stuffed them, instead they didn't. Yeah it wasn't a TD, yay, but they gave up some pretty sizable plays in that drive to give up easy points. Another point in the game, the offense has been floundering, ST just gave up a punt block for a TD and the offense shows some size of life and drives down the field to answer with a TD of their own to bring it back to a 1 possession game. A perfect time for the defense to keep that momentum and shut down a pretty young offense and get the ball back. Instead they gave up a 70 yd drive where they gave up a 30+ yard run for another TD to allow the jets back up by 2 TD's. Yes the defense makes some plays, obviously the offense is not doing their part and they need to figure it out. BUT, this defense should be better, they have the players and they do make those plays and then they just give them up just as easily. It's hard to win on defense in this league, but teams do it. And everyone was talking top 5 defense before the season started and they are far from it. I think they're capable, but they have too many let downs and despite the offensive struggles, it IS costing this team as well. [/QUOTE]
