Yeah ... we give up WAY too many penalties and we give up points too often.
Also, we have far too few interceptions. We need to get some actualy plays from someone in our secondary other than Winfield at some point this season.

Bad teams take penalties. Colts, Raiders, and the vikings i guess

This year we are giving up TDs where we gave up field goals last year. STs must also be considered in points allowed.

Gee I wonder who is responsible for the discipline and focus of this team...

Clearly not the coaches, no sir!

What happened to the days not so long ago when our secondary was swarming the ball, making INT after INT? I miss that.
Sit back Griffin and invisible safeties would lead to that I guess.

pentalties are an obvious problem, but 2 or more that went our way helped us win 2 games.
we know that this is a part of our problem but lets not pretend that any part of the team has played well, outside of the defense a couple of games here or there, and the offense this past week.
besides that the pentalties are just an example of our continual sloppiness.
