  The offense wasn't good enough either but it was a lot better than the defense. 

I couldn't disagree more. The offense's production dropped to 3.7 yards per play in the 2nd half compared to 6.6 in the first. No TDs in the second half compared to two in the first.

This season is supposed to be all about showing improvement. Yes, that mostly means from game-to-game, but a big decline within a game--a game that really was there to be had--is very troubling.

Once they figured out our WRs couldn't separate and our OL couldn't pass block, they assigned man coverage & LB run support over and over again and dared us to throw. I theorize everyone else will do that this season, leading to a lot of "big declines."
