I would add that it's disingenuous to compare the two GB games. Donald was not Donald last year since he was injured. Not that he's himself this year but just that difference makes any comparison apples to oranges.

Also, while the offense does deserve criticism and the defense is by no means solely responsible, they have been way too soft in every sense of the word. And they've been that way from the very start of the season. While the offense has put the defense in a bad position at times, the defense hasn't helped the offense either. When the offense does get on track and score, the defense then fails to get the other team off the field. Wasn't the first drive of the year one of those 18 play, 10 minute marathons?

I am also puzzled by Youngblood defending this defense.
