WOOHOO Moral victories are fabulous! Only 196 yards of total offense given up.

Yet we lost to the team that is last in total Offense after week 1!

so does that mean we are the most inefficient team in the league, or the most efficient that does produce? Either way it sucks. We shut down Frank Gore adn then let Dexter stonehands jackson kill us at the end of the game.

We are #2 in YPG.

1. Denver Broncos 184.0
2. Arizona Cardinals 194.0
3. San Diego Chargers 202.0
4. Philadelphia Eagles 215.0
5. Houston Texans 219.0

Yeah, it's meaningless when you don't win, but encouraging nonetheless considering that defense was supposed to be the team's weakness.

We gotta follow up Week 1 with another good defensive showing, and win!

I'm encouraged by the improved play of the secondary. Discouraging was once again we're done in by the Break But Don't Bend Defense.

Well that's a new one. Only the Cardinals.

We play the Browns this year right? Still have a chance to make it 5 losses in a row to the team that had the #1 pick in the next draft. (Still counts even if that pick belongs to Dallas now.)

:koolaid:

Moral of story: You can play division-leading defense for 58 minutes but not taking care of the final 2 can negate all the good work that came before it.
