when your offense can only score 13pts, 17pts and 21pts in their last 3 playoff losses after averaging 35+ppg during the regular season there are issues on that side of the ball..
you arent winning anything scoring 13 and 17points against top defenses. while I agree our defense has been lacking. it cant be denied that our offense has let us down as well.
That isn't necessarily indicative of a problem on offense. Naturally, the further you go into the playoffs the better the defenses are going to be. Championship bouts in football aren't always high scoring slug fests, sometimes they can be played tighter to the vest and we need to have a defense that can make stands when it counts. Last years AFCCG came down to turnovers... We turned it over 3 times when we were either in the red zone or very close. Brady had a balled tipped that was caught by the defense for the first int, Ridley got his clock cleaned by Pollard and fumbled, and then Brady threw another int when he had to force a pass with only 16 or so seconds left into the end zone.
It was a day of bad bounces more than anything.. those 3 turnovers destroyed us.
