The reality is that no team in the NFC is dominant or without weaknesses. If we punch our ticket into the playoffs, we could do some damage if we can get it together on offense. Offense is the main thing holding us back. Even hobbled without Sherm the defense can hold their own against any team. If this sorry ass excuse for an offense can get their heads out of their behinds, we can get on a roll at the right time.
That's been the problem for the past 3 years now. The offense just sucks. They show some flashes of brilliance, but for the most part, they're a dysfunctional unit that matches up poorly with two thirds of opposition offenses.
Pete's defenses are generic. Yes, we do have times that you can attribute a bit of a downfall when a key player like Wagner, Sherman, or Thomas go out or when he's had to change DC's, but for the most part, this defense is organic and heals thyself. They're a much more consistent part of the team than the offense.
