Still, strength of schedule aside, we're a +81 team after 11 games. That means when we win, we often win big, especially since we're "only" 7-4.

A contrast, the Broncos are also 7-4 and they're a +7 team. The Eagles in our conference with a 7-4 record are a +65 team.

I do believe stuff like this has merit. If you look at the SB winners throughout the years, they're almost always +100 teams. We have a decent chance of ending this season a +100 team. No guarantee of winning the big one because at the end of the year, the Colts, the Saints, the Chargers, the Pats, and the Vikings will also be +100 teams.

All that matters to me is this looks like a defense that is capable of competing in the playoffs.

Our defense is coming along just when we need it to and the big reason is the DL is really playing well. We are virtually not allowing anybody to run the ball and they don't give up many big plays.

Very few times have teams started from at or behind their 25 yard line and scored and about the only negative would be the number of TD's allowed when starting deep in our own territory. It would be nice to have held more of those to FG's but they shouldn't have been put in that position nearly as often as they have.

Another thing I like about our D - 18 INTs in 11 games. In the Playoffs, teams that generate takeaways during regular season often do it even more in the Playoffs. If this is the bread and butter of our D (besides stopping the run, which we do quite well), I like it.

Alright, the team better not let me down now. I said if they were 15th or better, we would be in the playoffs.

Time for the team to prove me right.


Good job defense so far. Lets keep it up.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Well, I will differ here to a degree. Obviously points are what matters most but yards comes in right behind that. I wonder how many points we would have given up by now if we weren't first in yards allowed?

You also have to look at defensive takeaways as well. I figure the game between our D and the Lions came out 7 to 7 before our offense snapped the ball and that is pretty awesome.

They got the long return to the 20. I give our D -4 there for not holding to a FG. Now by any standard thats high and probably less than fair but it could have been three.

The safety was all on the offense. 0 points on the D.

They gave up a FG. -3 on the D.

That's a total of 7 points. Woodson return gave the D +7. Thus a tie between our defense and their offense BEFORE our offense takes a snap.

I don't know how much better it can get than that but you can bet it ain't much. All I know is a very high percentage of the time when our defense takes the field and the opponent has 75 to 80 yards to go they don't get there so I can't see where being first in yards allowed is not huge.

Not if we're last in points scored.

The rank of a offense and defense is predicated on yards, as I said, the Packers are ranked first right now in defense. Being first in points on defense would be splendid as well. Which makes me wonder where we would be if our special teams didn't give up great field position often. 🙂 (that field position can also attribute to being high ranked in defense)

I remember Lynn Dickey throwing for 400+ yards but we only scored 14 points.

Yards are meaningless. Points are what wins games.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
