First off, nice season and I'm grateful for the excitement/high hopes the team gives year after year.
This game was a pretty poor performance everywhere but ST's, but this one largely falls on the defense. One stop all game, simply inexcusable. Without making stops and forcing turnovers it's nearly impossible and not realistic to expect the offense to establish any type of rhythm or exert itself the way it can when the defense is actually giving you a shot. Not giving the offense a pass for not performing, but they shouldn't get the majority or even half the blame.
On the plus side, the pathetic effort on D continued even on the last couple drives which alleviated any potential feelings of regret of the offense leaving a few points on the field here and there early on. Because regardless if we were down 13 late, down 6, tied, up 7, the defense was not stopping them to get us one last shot OR protecting the lead. One of if not the worst defensive effort I've seen in the BB era.
