I would say so when we're 5 games into a season and talking about 5 quarters total. The Bills beat the Vikings (and Titans lol) over 4 for god's sake.

The most important quarter when you lay it all on the line, including going for it on 4th down unlike in the only three quarters

Why not just end it in the 1st? Seems like a smarter decision, tbh

Logically, the conclusion here is Chiefs D>Rams and that's obviously not true.

Just what stats are being used to determine how good a defense is? Total points, Points per game, yards per game as there are many ways to look at a defense.

The new D coordinator seems to have helped in GB as the D is top 10 in total yards ranking #4. This was way worse last year. The pass D is ranked #2 at 208 yards per game going against some decent passing offenses. The Pack pass D was horrible last year.

DVOA has the best admixture of all factors to date.

Since Rams fans are cherry picking, I'll say the defense that held Brady and Rodgers to 33 total points.

Patricia was cheating, having cameras out there

You are talking about them running up and down all game, except when it mattered in the 4th quarter where the Hawks scored no points and didn't even get in the redzone.

I guess its just a coincidence that against Phillip Rivers, Derek Carr, Russell Wilson and Cousins that they only have given up 2 field goals total in the 4th quarter. Talk about some good luck against some pro bowl quarterbacks, that not one can muster a comeback let alone score a touchdown. Some great luck there, I hope that luck stays the rest of the season.

Bears give up 17 vs Seattle thwe whole game,you gave up 31...…...id much rather feel comfortable with a sizable lead in the 4th where our defense could finally relax a bit ratha than "come to play" in the 4th qtr as you put it and putting your team in jeapordy by doing so...……..doesn`t make sense...………

The GB game we lost was by our coaches dumb play calling and a dropped pick six int by Fuller that hit him in the numbers...…….That game still haunts me...…..

I'm sorry I was under the delusion, that you knew the difference between an home and away game, and the difference between a divisional rival game and regular opponent game.

Surely, BB has a few tricks up his sleeve for Mahomes & Co. And, he must be pissed as hell for the recent spankings received by the Chiefs. Gonna be a good one.

How’d that AZ game go for ya?

And did you all play Seattle at the 12th man? Are you familiar with the 12th man? Do you remember the Bears beating them by 1 TD at your own house?

Let’s say your D has been a little better against inferior competition.. Do you think your D can handle our offense? Do you think our D can handle your offense?

Do you like to play 20 questions?
