Petro a& Lenny "Don't blame the offense"

[petegz28]

On the way to the airport I was listening to Soren and Lenny. While Lenny was a bit more critical of Thigy, both said this game was not the fault of the offense. 500 yard and 31 points should never net you a loss.

Lenny reminded us what some here tried to say yesterday, "offense is fun to watch but defense wins games".

Miami had the ball for 12 minutes in the 4th quarter. That says it right there. That is the game. This offense battled back from poor special teams play and defensive play (opening play), to hand the defense yet another lead.

Both said Thigy's performance is expected for a 1st year QB. Did he make dumb throws? Yes. Should he have had more INT's? Yes. But as Soren pointed out, Pennignton also got away with 2 or 3 balls that were tipped and close to being picked off.


Bottom line is the offense has been moving the ball and scoring and the defense has yet to hold a lead. Again as Lenny said, you can't keep trying to outscore your opponents ala DV. Defense has to show up and play.

I think it's fair to say that the truth lies in the middle.

Palmer is no where near as bad as Hootie claims, yet no where near as good as Mecca claims.

One thing I've noticed about the QB talk here as of late:

There are plenty of excuses to go around if your speaking about a QB you like, but when the conversation shifts to a QB you don't like, you blast people for making excuses.

true true, hell i started using all THEIR reasons against thigpen against palmer(except the shotgun) and they all every one of them said it all didnt matter, still yet not one of them could tell my WHY palmer is a top 5 qb in their minds
