Now that the league rules are slanted towards the offense the big differentiator is the ability to field a defense that can make key stops. It doesn't matter how good your offense is if your defense can't make a stop. It's why being a Raiders fan these days is so painful. If Carr and the offense goes 3 and out even once against a quality opponent it's almost like the air comes out of the balloon as you know the other team will score on their next possession and the team is behind the 8-ball. I'm so tired of cheering for a team with a trash defense lol.
