Since merger, only the '72 Dolphins and '96 Packers have finished #1 in offense and defense. We now have a shot

We're first in point differential now: we're averaging 31.6 points per game on offense, we're giving up 18.7 points on defense. We rank #1 on offense, tied for #4 on defense. Denver is #1 giving up 17.3 points a game on defense.

 

Just another way that we're looking at a historically great season. I think this is yet another thing that's in reach. If only Drew Brees hadn't fuged us up in the Superdome last week, this would be a damn shoo-in after today.

Realistically, we'd have to allow less than 21 points combined against all three of our remaining opponents to have a shot at the #1 defense.  If we shut out the rest of our opponents, we'd be at about 15.75 points allowed per game on defense.  Allowing 21 points total in our next three games puts us at just over 17 points allowed per game on the year.

I don't see this happening, unless the Giants and Bucs poo the bed.

The Broncos play:

  • @ Steelers
  • vs Bengals
  • vs Chargers

So there's a chance they give up a few more points than their average.

But the other two teams ahead of us...

The Cincinatti Bengals play:

  • vs 49ers
  • @ Broncos
  • vs Ravens

Doesn't look like the Bengals give up many more points than their average

The Seahawks play:

  • vs Browns
  • vs Rams
  • @ Cardinals

Only the Cardinals are a real threat to put up some points.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
