double standard

[Lumps]

When the defense makes mistakes we start losing count

The offense still points points on the board and have put 20-30 points up every game. That should be enough to win, no defense worthy of post season should be giving up 21+ points, especially not every single game.

It's not a double standard becasue the offense is producing.

I never said anything about injuries. Every team has injuries. Whats your point?

Oh dang it. Davis and Beason are hurt. Ok Adrian Peterson these two guys are on the sidelines...pretty please dont truck through the rest of our paid professional nfl defenders please noooo nooo!!!!

Excuses are like a$$holes.

our defense is hurting doesn't mean i was talking about the injuries in that post. Our defense is hurting as a whole.

Our run defense is hurting.

Getting off the field after 3rd downs is hurting..

Etc, etc.

Does that clarify, that our defense is hurting?

there is the double standard. The defense did produce well for majority of the game. Much more than anybody could have hoped for.

Has it been that way all season? No. No it hasn't.

Thanks for making more excuses though.

ok pantherclaw....lets make you happy and praise the fact that our defense gives up a ton of points and is about dead last in rush defense. They have two rookie DTs...lets give em a break and take them out for pizza and soda after their games.

I think I'll wait until they knock someone on their ass.

I dont hate on the offense. Why? Cam is the best rookie ever. Steve Smith stiff arms people 6 feet under and is having a pro bowl season. Stewart throws Saints LB's on the ground and flips them on blitz pick ups. Olsen looks like Thor. Shockey has a bad ass Eagle tat on his arm and oh he still plays with a broken finger..he has to catch missiles from Cam w/ a broken finger but still plays...i'll keep going if you want?

that's not what i'm asking for.

But thanks.

You also forgot anderson is playing out of his mind. Gamble is playing some of his best ball. Captain is balling. Johnson is proving he's worthy of the contract he has.

I can praise players also. That' isn't the point.

I'm not asking anyone to praise our young defense.

Well if that is what you think I'd have to say you need to hope for a lot more, the Vikings aren't exactly the greatest team right now and the defense has to finish the game out. The offense has it's problems, but if you had to pick a side contributing the most to our losses it would be the defense (assuming ST isn't an option). Losing is a team thing just like winning, but there is just more work to be done fixing the defense, I am not sure why this is not obvious to you. This is what people are complaining about.

you talk about double standard...well Im giving you an explanation. To most people the offense gets a pass. Couple turnovers here and there...whatever....they keep us in the game.

But this offends you...it upsets you.

i agree.

This year has been nothing but a lot of bitter disappointment on the defensive side of the ball.

Was expecting some exciting changes.

Then we lost beason.

Davis.

Piss poor execution in general, which i didn't expect from a rivera coached team.

Don't even get me started on the penalties.

Uggg.

I saw improvement this last game. Is a shame that our team wasn't able to benefit from it, in means of a win.

Hoping with the bye week, our young defense will continue to improve.

i don't need the explanation..thank you.

If jake delhomme was turning the ball over, nobody would be giving him a pass. I know, jake isn't a rookie.

The defense kept us in the vikings game too.

Yes you do. You made a cry baby thread about it.

Jake Delhomme..

Ok. You just made the worst post of the night.

You aren't even making any sense now, lol I'm done.
