[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131804447, member: 1812660"] It is a team game and individual plays can make all the difference such as a WR breaking a tackle for a big gain or a lineman missing a block and allowing a sack fumble w/ the QB in mid throw. However the modern game has it so most of the play is dictated by one player and that is the QB. A solid defense and running game can compensate for QB shortcomings, but when it comes to putting the ball into play it is on what the QB is capable of the most. Ultimately my analogy was not meant to critique individual player performances of the football team, but rather compare the 2 biggest units of the team. So far this season, including the most recent game, the defensive unit has been much more of a team asset and the offense has been much more of a team liability. The fact that neither side has been perfect and both sides have had some good moments does not disprove this general trend across the first 3rd of the season. [/QUOTE]
