For the last 10 years at least we go through cycles. Strong defense, weak offense, strong offense, weak defense. I still believe that if Fitz had been with us when we had a good defense, we would have made the playoffs. When he was with us, he was always trying to come from behind due to our defense allowing teams to go down the field and score. We have a great defense....even a mid range QB could make this work.
This is not a knock on Allen, he is a rook. It is just a view of our team overall during the recent decade.
