I think that is not a big deal because the fights in season 3 are rather intense, and you seem to forget the Rating Games of Rias against Sona, which part of the strategy was to make him Issei bleed to a extreme point that he had to lose, and Saji carried to this extreme, and this shows the weakness of Human reincarnated Devils, and even though Rias won they took out Issei.
