Yes , the offense should have done better in the first half , the red zone playcalling and execution was atrocious . But I ' m willing to cut them some slack when they ' ve been dragging this glueeating anchor of a defense most of the season . When the highlights of your defense ' s season has been , Sure they sucked in the first half , but shutout in the second ! there ' s a huge fucking problem . McCloughan completely fucked up fixing the front 7 in the offseason which is where it starts . We have maybe 3 or 4 starter talents there and the rest reserves at best . And even those starter guys have underperformed . Our secondary was supposed to be great but has been complete garbage outside of Norman who ' s been good . And the water on this electrical fire is Joe Barry continuing to coach the defense and putting bad players in worse positions . It ' s a fucking mess . If we even had the forgettable but passable defenses of the Jason Campbell days , we would be in so much better shape .
