It's the offense, stupid.

LC factored in home vs road averages, which I think is important here.

Curious why you didn’t do the same?

Based on the actuarial tables, my existing life is shorter than his. And I didn't think it was statistically all that relevant -- if anything, the home numbers for the defense are probably better than for the overall average, which would make this look worse and not better. And if our road numbers are better than our home numbers, that's probably a different issue/problem all to itself.

As I said, I had no quibble at all with LC's analysis or approach, and the offense clearly underperformed and should get its share of the blame. But in my view they weren't alone, and the defense was particularly lame in some key big-game areas, and I don't think you can discount the complete failures to hold a lead or tie in last-minute situations -- that's a real problem that just tweaking the defense won't fix.
