I think the easy answer is our defense hasn’t been as good as earlier in the season for a good number of games now. Good thing the offense has picked up the slack.
I agree. The defense lately is inconsistent....it's good for a while then becomes porous. At this time of the year, the defense needs to be consistently good with effort and focus for an entire 40 minutes or there is a good chance we lose that game. And good scoring opportunities arise from good defense.
