You also aren't going to win many games when your offense goes 3 and out on their first umpteen possessions. How many teams has the defense bailed our offense out when they haven't performed well?
The defense is responsible for this loss. But you can't go down by 14 points and then go 3 and out. And while the Chiefs were down 21 points, I believe that if you score a TD on that drive turning the game to 21-7, the defense walks onto the field with a different mentality that "hey, maybe if we hold these guys, our offense can bring us back to within a TD." Instead, he took a sack that took them out of field goal range. The possession after that, he fumbles the ball in scoring range. Cassel was brutally bad in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th possessions of the game. You can't just throw your hands up and give up when you're down a few scores. We'll never win a playoff game with that mentality.
