I still find yards relative. It means time of possession, and limited chances for your offense to get on field.... and wears out your defense. Getting off the field on 3rd down, I believe Seattle is the worst at. That's a problem. So people like to say ranked 6th... they're not IMO. AND, if your offense has limited time to catch up 7 points, they're gameplan is altered (not that Seattle's has been that good anyway).
Problem with that stat is we’re giving offenses looooooooooooong drives and giving up lots of yards … 6th in points is respectable, but it’s the opponent controlling the time and slashing us game after game ..
