This is the thread I said would happen even though our defense played well and the offense only truly scored 3 points on a long field goal. Can we ban the posters who want to put it equally on defensive problems?
I get sooooooooooo sick of this living in Chicago. There's a macho syndrome that a certain type blames everything on the defense no matter what. For years the Cubs had elite pitching and no offense...majority of macho Chicago fans would blame pitching for giving up 1-3 runs in a losing game. Ditto with the Bears, elite defense for years and years, one of the worst offenses in the NFL...most Chicago fans blaming D after every loss, lots of them loved blaming one of the best linebackers in history for having a great game while he got no offense. ISU fans aren't as bad about it, but it is annoying as &*&#.
Our defensive players improve and develop. If you can't put the obvious pieces together to form a comparison from there, you should just be a lurker and not post.
