No it's not...but it got your attention huh...It was a pretty spectacular offensive game last night with over 700 yards passing, 6 TDs and no INTs but before you starting losing your mind over the D or lack there of...consider my thought on the matter...
I think we are actually going to have a lot of subpar defenses for the first few weeks. Think aobut it...if both the offense and defense are a tiny bit out of step or not quite at 100%, which side is more obviously affected? With the offense, the worst case is a pick six, but most likely a screwed up play results in an incomplete or no gain. Not a huge deal. With the defense, if you have a miscommunication or screw up, it ends in yards and usually big yards. Possibly huge plays. That is way more noticeable than a missed 3rd down conversion for the offense. It's not that the defense is far worse than the offense, it's that their screw up results are more obvious.
That said I think the offenses were spectacular yesterday and defense struggled, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a slight increase in scoring across the NFL for a couple weeks.
Both teams should be fine as they won't be playing future possible HOFers every week at QB, but I wouldnt be so quick to call the defenses bad.
