It's impossible to assign weighted blame.
It's what people do to make themselves feel better about the overall situation, or about a particular player.
Every play on the field plays a role, and the negative plays by the offense in the 2nd half (fumble, missed pass, clock management) all played a part in the play of the defense.
Hell, the argument could be made that the defense played well enough in the first half to win most games - yet I don't see anyone doing it.
If it wasn't for the defense, we wouldn't have gotten out to a 38-10 lead.
Yet when the offense disappears along with the lead, it's the defense's fault?
Offense, defense and coaching all shit the bed in the 2nd half, no particular unit more than another.
