They didn't get any help from the offense against the Bears but the did have a big 4th quarter lead. If they could've gotten just one more stop we would've won that game. I think they've played closer to playoff caliber the last couple weeks though, for sure. Going to have to carry that over against Manning and Rivers coming up, for sure.

They certainly could do better. They've given up a couple fourth quarter leads.
But in the Bears game they only allowed a net of 11 points. The collapse was shit after Jamaal went out and we missed the field goal, but any offense worth two shits will put up 12 points. I just can't put a defense at fault in a game in which it only allowed 11 points.
And against Denver, the offense and special teams gave them the ball in our territory on three separate occasions. 24 points allowed under those circumstances aren't great by any means, but should have been enough to win the game.
