The Defense: 15 games by the Numbers


Jangler

Recommended Posts

The first 8 games:

Total yards: 2355 Pass 1556 Rush 799 3rd% 36.9

The last 7 games:

Total yards: 2550 Pass 1487 Rush 1063 3rd% 41.5

It's not how you start, it's how you finish. And the defense is not finishing well. I can't believe that the defense will be the downfall of this team. Now we have to go into New Orleans, the #1 offense in the league. I hope something changes quickly. Because right now I don't have a good feeling about how this great season will end. Convince me I just have a bad case of indigestion...:confused:

Defensive stats are a bit weird to follow. Look at Tampa right now, their defense has suddenly collapsed. I think our defensive issues stem from bad decision-making and the many missed INTs, as well as a lack of pass rushing from time to time. But overall I still think we can shut down anyone in any given game.

we should be fine next week. passing teams right now scare me less. yes the secondary sucks at times, but we are getting run over game in game out. take out todays performance and its still 700+ in 6 games, not good at all. luckily the saints dont run well, as payton is pass hapy. if its a ballanced attack, we may have seen this team on the road here out.

I have to admit that Brees going against the likes of Lucas and Godfrey right now makes me nervous.

I still can't figure out what's happened to Lucas.

It has less to do with Lucas and more to do with lack of pass rush. He was never a great CB.

I agree that stats don't tell the whole story. But the change from the first 8 games to the last 7 make me a little nervous going into NO and then into the playoffs.

Here are the stats from the first game, when our defense was playing better,

New Orleans ty343 p228 r115 fd17 41.7%

and now their offense is playing a lot better than it was then.

    • Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.
    • I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is. 
    • I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
