Again, this loss isn't Thigpen's fault. He had his problems, no doubt. And this game certainly not good, but when your offense puts up 31 points you shouldn't lose the game. The defense might as well not show up.

No problem.

They didn't.

I'm pretty certain that if DT58HOF has an opinion, if I disagree, there's nearly a 100% chance that I'm right.

It scares the hell out of me if I have an opinion that isn't exactly the opposite.

So, my opinion of Thigpen scares the hell out of me.

3 interceptions are not his fault? I am not blaming the whole game on him but he has fault.

I didn't say he had no fault in his problems. Absolutely.

But, IMHO, this loss lies squarely on the defense's shoulders. If the score was 17-14, this would go on Thigpen. But when the defense can't keep the opposition under 30, that's on them.
