Many of us were thinking that our young offense would have to get it together fairly rapidly, before the defense - because of age, free agency and/or injury - began to decline.
Well, our vaunted defense is in free fall, unable to stop the run and incapable of stopping the pass in critical third down and red zone situations. The D was supposed to keep us in games until Losman and the rest of the offense matured, but that hasn't happened the last 2 weeks.
It appears that JP and the O can now take their time, as the D has become at best a very ordinary unit. The loss of Spikes will only make it worse. I think we'll have to spend the next offseason shoring up the defense.
