[Amos Moses]

Pep is an absolutely TERRIFYING individual with that tinted visor..

[JARROD]

the chicago defenses were never that good, actually.

i sincerely doubt this defense will match up with 2003.

 

The 2002 was better than 2003.

Last year the Bills were the number one rushing team in the league. Not much has changed on the field for them and we held McCoy, one of the best RBs in the league, to what, 10 yards?  Almost all of their rushing yards were Taylor and he only got like 30. So yea, they're not a good passing team but they're a great rushing team. We shut down both aspects.

Have we played a good offense or QB yet?

Taylor's not so bad at all and McCoy and that offensive line are both top 5 and we completely shut down their run game. There are of course better offenses out there, but I wouldn't say today's performance on D is anything to overlook.

6 points in two weeks is rare, despite the quality of opponents. So far they look incredible but the true tests are still upcoming. 

Very rare indeed.  1st time we've ever done it.

 

 

edit: before a stat nerd jumps in, 1st time allowed 3 or fewer pts consecutive weeks.

I love all this gloom and doom.  Every week is about matchups and right now we are 2 -0. As good as we can be. Win at home against New Orleans and we go into New England at 3-0. We need to focus on one opponent at a time. Next up the Saints.

No good barometers until really when we play the Pats. Judging this D by using the 9ers and Bills would be a huge mistake

I wouldn't judge it based on how we do against the Patriots either.  Will have to look at the entire body of work at the end of the season.

Ok want ya wanna discuss then?  Maybe the pass rush of that 2008 squad?  How about the DT rotation of the 03 boys?

 

or maybe?

We discuss the team in front of our faces right now?

ffs people...

Geez, relax.  All I meant was that if we can't use the results against bad teams, we can't use results of 1 game against one of the best of all time.  .  We have played well on the defensive side so far.  

 

Are you sure you meant to quote me?

I get the big picture stuff, but you can't just postpone commentary until the end of the season.  2 weeks in, good returns, still good after the next 2 and you can call that a pattern.

I think you meant to quote the other guy.  I was trying to say that if you can't use results against bad teams as a barometer, you can't  use results against one of the best of all time either (brady).  Brady makes very good defenses look pedestrian.

Nah, I quoted the right one.

After 4 weeks bad QB good QB no QB if this D keeps crushing like this you'll have as much info as you could need to make a solid report on what this defense will be moving forward.

Just saw a stat on Facebook, apparently this is the first time since 2006 that 6 pts or less were allowed through the first two games of a season.  7th time in history.
