Cherry pick all you want, but when you're given only 7 attempts to really move the ball, 17 points isn't bad. It isn't good, but there's a wide middle there.

The defense, OTOH, was bad. The offense was merely pedestrian.

And I'm not making excuses.....but no Peters for the entire game and no Ford for half the game is what caused that.

And before someone jumps in with "NO MACLIN!".....we had him before and our offense was still shit.
