I'm curious to know how many points the defense allowed in those 11 games. If I had to take a guess, I would say that in at least 8 of those 11 they probably allowed fewer than 21 points....What I'm saying basically is that in most of those comeback wins the defense was not the issue but the offense lack of scoring was.
Example #1- Last year in Carolina the defense allowed 7 points but unfortunately Wilson and the offense was only able to score 6 points in the first 3 quarters.
Example #2- In Houston last year when Wilson had absolutely nothing to do with sending the game to OT as Sherman was the one who tied it on a pick 6 late in the 4th.
Example #3- NFC title game- San Fran only had 17 points but the Seattle offense only scored 13 through 3 quarters.
Example #4- Fail Mary game....No need to explain that garbage
Should I continue? In most of Wilson comeback wins, the defense did their job but the offense was MIA for the most part.
Do you suppose its a coincidence that 3/4 of your 4 examples were top ranked defenses that most teams had a hard time scoring against? And the fail mary game was Wilson's third start in the NFL and you can make any statement you want whether you think the ball was caught or intercepted but Wilson still put them in position to win on that drive and he stood in there and placed the ball exactly where it had to be while Clay Matthews was lining him up to bury him in the turf as soon as he let the pass fly. That pass was clutch even if you want to argue the result of it.
