Message: [QUOTE="pattycuse, post: 4145728, member: 256"] I think that's my biggest complaint on the defense- its a paper tiger. There wasn't a single point this season (that I can think of) where the defense imposed their will at a critical moment against a really good team. Challenge for Beane is going to be investing in offense versus defense- at some point, the hundreds of picks (yes a slight exaggeration) on the defensive side of the ball need to pan out. But look at the Chiefs- their defense really couldn't stop Buffalo either (I don't include when Daboll had an out of body experience and kept running the ball). We might be better served keeping the offense truly elite and "managing" the defense. But if that's the case, it has to be a more aggressive scheme to make up for potential lack of talent at some positions. I hate to admit it but I'm still sick to my stomach over Sunday... [/QUOTE]
