It's what bend but don't break defenses do, the difference is they don't give up TD's at the end of every drive.

100% true. Especially if your being run on. If it was that easy to be on the field none stop, stars would play both ways still.

Yeah for sure. I don't think we got consistently out-coached on D and we seemed to make good adjustments to the offenses we faced. We just seemed to sag as the game went on and the fatigue of being on the field all the time wore us down. It is also somewhat demoralizing watching your own offense fail to move the ball, or watch the kicker miss FGs, PAs, and shank punts, especially late when the legs get heavy and the mind starts to lose focus.
