Where do you rank the current Seahawks D on the all time list?

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

They shut down the best offense ever in the Super Bowl in February, and now they finished the year with the number one scoring defense. Three years in a row they've done that, and only the Purple People Eaters from 1969-1971 were the ones to do that. Not the Steel Curtain, not the Doomsday defense, not the mid 80s bears.

[Cary Kollins]

Slightly better than Carolina's defense from last year.

[Mol3m4n]

Not that high honestly. It's good but shouldn't be compared to the old Ravens or Steelers.

[RelaxImaPro]

Their defense wasn't anywhere near as good as last year until they played a 6-game stretch to close out the season where they faced nothing but back up QBs and a struggling Kaepernick/49ers (that lost to the fuging Raiders).

 

Their defense was actually, in Sherman's own words "mediocre" up until that point.  But of course, the media doesn't acknowledge this teensy inconvenient little fact in their hype fest.

 

That D was way better last season.  Don't get me wrong, the team is still fuging good, but that defense is being severely overrated right now in my opinion.

[RelaxImaPro]

For comparison's sake, at least we've shutdown legit offenses this past month other than the Cards and Rams 4th and 5th string QBs and RBs.

 

As much as New Orleans and Atlanta suck... offense isn't much of a problem for them.

 

So you could probably make the case for our defense being as good or better than theirs right now.

I've not heard a reference to the LOB, by that name, since August.

[Mother Grabber]

I rank them right about...there.
