We have the best defense in the NFL

[pittpnthrs]

Seattle doesnt even have the best defense in the division yet league. Lets slow the roll some and see how they perform against good QB's.

I can tell you in the 49er game he was under Center 15 times and had 6 runs for 43 yards. Against the Seahawks, genius, he was under Center TWICE and had two runs for 4 yards. You only played 1/2 a quarterback and against 3/4 of a playbook. Joe burrow also had a noticeable limp in the Seahawks game and none against the 49ers. The bengals are just now hitting their stride

Or the Niners defense isn't that good. And that's the reason Joe fricken Burrow ran for 43 yards, Mixon averaged 5.4 YPC, and Kirk Cousins put up 400 yards passing.

Joe Burrow ran for 531 career yards coming into the 49ers game. So he ran for nearly 10% of his career yards in just that game. That must have been a helluva bye for that calf. Apparently, the 49ers game was his launching point as the league's new dual threat QB. On the plus side for them, their vaunted secondary managed to hold him to four incompletions...so there's that.

I dont think he was speaking statistically. Technically they aren't the best until they are. But his observation that we have top talent across the board is correct.

BTW, speaking of top defenses...

Here's a list of the few that are deemed capable of wining it all for their teams. Cleveland isn't on it, but my guess is they are just outside.

We've already beat them and Detroit, which is also on the list. Up next, Baltimore. If this team can manage to bat better than .500 against teams with top defenses in the league, the sky is the limit.

NFL defenses that CAN win a championship; plus, the early Coach of the Year and A.J. Brown's domination

"Defenses win championships." How much does this age-old adage apply in today's offense-driven NFL? Well, Bucky Brooks spotlights five Ds that CAN spark a run to the Lombardi Trophy. Plus, the midseason Coach of the Year and the secret to A.J. Brown's suc

Big day tomorrow.

This is the best defense in the history of the universe.

 

[CactusJack]

I blame the OP!

 

[acctingman]

This D is average

 

[hawks85]

If Lamar goes off this week. We will know who to blame!

Don't take this Ravens team lightly.

That Ravens D is no god damn joke. It may be 14-3 Ravens, but that D is mopping the field with the Seahawks

 

[stack55]

We better worry about the offense, Geno is to short.

 

[stack55]

This is what happens when you don’t invest in the o-line.

 

[MD5eahawks]

Can’t stop a TE. So no.

 

[blaisio]

Seeing the body language of the defense hasn't been good. Saw Brooks giving up on some plays. They were lucky they don't give up more touchdowns with their shoulder checks instead of wrapping up.

 

[Rat]

Not exactly the same when we're not playing PJ Walker or Josh Dobbs.

 

[NJHawk]

Average D at best. This is a 500 team, no better. We need a few years, a new qb and coach.

 

[Rat]

Good thing we wasted a second round pick on a half-year rental for this overrated defense.

 

[94Smith]

Not exactly the same when we're not playing PJ Walker or Josh Dobbs.

which I kind of figured. Much much improved, but nowhere near the best in the league

This thread aged like wine.
Night Train wine, to be specific.
After it's been consumed in an alley.
Then peed out onto a street curb by a homeless person.

[fenderbender123]

D looks lost against the read option. Let's hope it's just growing pains with our new stud Williams. Maybe they figure it all out.

 

[Fade]

Talent wise, the Seahawks have a great defense. So I understand the excitement.

The coaching leaves a lot to be desired. They are under achieving as per usual.
