Who is the best defense in the NFL this season.

[packerzrule]

The Jags, bears, Ravens, and Titans are the top defenses right now I think

Nice observation since post 9

 

[Hank Kingsley]

If 9 had a offense, they could compete 10

You mean 7.

Haha. that's the top 4 in scoring D. ok, i will go ahead and throw the browns in the conversation then. they have a good amount of youth on that defense and I think they will only get better as the season goes along.

Rams d has been shitty. Definitely not as good as you'd think based on the talent

I have not seen a lot of the Rams but my understanding is they give up a lot of garbage yards and points because they are pretty much beating the shit out of their opponents and are getting up big early.

That narrative would hold up better if the Vikings didn't put up a ton of offense on the Rams in non-garbage time. The Rams had major issues at LB last year as well. So it's not as though it's a new issue.

The Browns IIRC are actually top 5 in DVOA on defense as of right now. They are going to be a real problem next year when they get a better coaching staff, imo.

they are not going to change coaching staff. They won some games this year so the Dumb ass front office is going to think they are going in the right direction.
Which is a shame because that defense has some real talent on it.

FO, or owner. I doubt the FO is pro Hue.

agreed. if the browns win several games, everyone will think those coaches are heroes ...

Hank.

Who is #9 and who is #10?

Misread your post, never saw the lonely 10 at the end........

There is also no team that have given up fewer points in the fourth quarter than the Rams

And I am guessing the Chiefs are the best high leverage D in the league- which for them is the 1st quarter

It is almost like the Rams will make play when they want to. When you allow 6 total points in the 4th quarter to Wilson, Cousins and Rivers, I would say that is pretty good. Two field goals and 3 goose eggs in 5 games.

The Rams let the fucking Seahawks offense march up and down the field on them all game long

How many points you score in the 4th when it matters?

 

[Battlelyon]

I wonder how much having a great offense effects the defense, trusting that you have a offense that can score put less pressure on you and you can relax a little.

not relevant, seeing as that wasnt the point I was trying to make

How the hell is that not relevant, you win and lose games in the 4th quarter.

because im not debating who won or lost the game
