By the way, do people realize we have 8 INTs and 3 defensive TDs in 7 games?

#26 in total defense, #29 in points per game, and #32 (dead last) in passing yards per game. Kansas City, Buffalo and Cleveland are the 3 teams with the most Ints -- they are 5-15. Not saying that more INTs correlate with losing, just saying it doesn't come close to redeeming the defense's generally terrible performance this season.

Well we got two INTs in today's game and all of the offense could do is muster 3 points off those turnovers. Let's not forget that after one of those INTs, RG3 went to throw a horrendous pick after we have gotten the ball.

RG3 and the offense more than redeemed themselves for their mistakes when they scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 77 yard drive that took up a minute and a half and left less than 2 minutes on the clock. The defense played pretty well all game and the offense didn't capitalize on their opportunities, granted, but the game was lost on one play and RG3 and the offense weren't on the field when it happened. There is absolutely nothing you can say in defense of the Redskins defense today.

RG3 and the offense had to come up with heroics at the end because of their earlier miscues. I am not trying to say the our defense is good, I am saying that our offense is not good enough to overcome their mistakes for 3 quarters of the game and one big mistake by the defense at the end of the game. New England may be able to do that, or Green Bay or even last year's Saints, but not our offense.

Since the big f*ck up happened to the most criticized unit of the defense, people are forgetting the many errors that the offense made earlier in the game.

In the end, you cannot win the game by turning the ball over 3 times, not converting points off turnovers, and going 0-2 in the redzone against a team that is really good at coming back and has outscored its opponents in the 4th quarter all season.

I had forgotten all about the first series, where the drive stalled at the 2 yard line. Boy, that kinda hurts.

And the 3rd and 5 on the 17 yd line that ended in a -8 yd sack.

That's where you are mistaken -- despite all their mistakes, with 1:30 left in the game THEY WERE WINNING!! so your basic premise is wrong.

You don't beat teams like the Giants with small leads and our defense is not good enough to protect small leads. You can continue to be simple-minded and keep harping on just the defense and one big blown coverage. But if our offense doesn't commit these big errors earlier in the game, this game is not even close at the end.

This defense is similar to Gregg Williams defense in New Orleans. They gave up lots of yardage, but lead the league in turnovers which gave their offense chances of scoring.(which they did) The problem with defenses like this is, if your offense doesn't score or you fail to get a turnover, you are likely ****ed.
