I think 7 points were given up by the Special Teams unit.

We've only held 6 teams to less than 100 yards rushing including Washington and Atlanta more recently. We have also allowed more than 400 yards in 6 games inlcuing Philly, Atlanta, St. Louis, Washington, Dallas, and Tampa. The point is our D has never been a shut-down D, and the 4 times we held teams to less than 250 yards is against Detroit (Stafford's first start as a pro), Buffalo (QB issues), the Jets (Sanchez) and Tampa Bay the first time.

Our offense has only failed to gain less than 400 yards in 6 games, and 3 of them coming in the last 3 weeks. The other 3 were in non-competitve games with the Bills, the Jets, and Tampa (the first time) where we didn't need the yardage and racked up 222, 153, and 183 on the ground. Our offense is struggling...the numbers don't lie...the good news is that we have a badass Offensive mind on our coaching staff and he will find ways to make corrections and get this team going again!

Last I checked...the score was 20 to 17. So holding that team to 10 points would've been great; but we "held" them to 20 points and lost.More importantly we "held" them to a paltry 176 rushing yards.


so the D is responsible for punt returns now?

The D held Tampa to 10 points yesterday in regulation and forced 2 turnovers. That is holding them in my opinion
