this may not be popular, but defense isn't all that wins

think about the posts that were against the re-signing of our O- players..
if you dont' improve you're regressing in this league.
I"m not saying that we need to get offensive weapons either. we were really close to still making the playoffs, and hadn't not been for a few plays that didn't get executed well, and few bad bounces, we would have. Even with that pathetic Defense.
Personally, when the players we picked up are healthy, we are vastly improved.
Problem is injuries happen all the time.. just have to hope that whoever fills in the places do decent job of performing at high level,
Scheduling, the way the ball makes a peculiar bounce, and even sometimes refs make the impact between 7-9 and 12-4,
and CHI, with all do respect.. Our O- was fairly inconsistent as well last season.
