What I mean is, it feels like the roles of the offense & defense are backwards from the norms in the league. Like the defense is expected to actually win the games for us, and the offense is there to keep it close enough for the defense to secure the win. Maybe I’m wrong, but it’s just how I feel about the way the team is constructed.
This is a 180 from how it’s usually set up, and it just feels backasswards to me. Especially in a league who has gone to great lengths to increase scoring & make it really tough on defenses to defend.
Does anyone else feel like this?

Maybe we’re just bad man. Forwards, backwards, bad all directions

Has more to do with the defense being full of vets and the offense being relatively young
Well said man! You have to count a few of these wins due to the splash plays on D.
They had built a strong defense and then their HOF QB retired and so did their excellent offensive line.
So of course the defense is going to be better right now.
That’s why they’re leaning into it.
