This is true, but in a league where the rules favor offenses nowadays you can't expect an 85 Bears or a 2000 Ravens/Titans defensive performance. Heck, you can't expect your defense to perform even at an above average peformance on a consistent basis. Look at the 49ers defense, which is considered by most in the league as the best. They gave up 22 and 19 points in their two games against potent offenses, that's good. But that's still 22 and 19 points. Back in the day, that's not THAT good. Today that's good, considering the offenses and the rules that favor them.
I won't say what you already know. Ok, I will.
We need a QB. When your defense isn't having its best day you can't count on him to bring you from behind or keep the pressure on the defense if you have the lead.
