Am I reading this wrong? The #1 defense belongs to..

[thefuzz]

Much as I don't really care about Cam's amazing number of yards per game/most in history to this point....I care even less about yards allowed per game by a defense.

 

This team needs to win, and I don't think that will happen until RR, Shula, and the rest are gone....same could possibly be said for JR.

According to NFL.com we are 3rd in total defense.

In short, yes.

It is huge feat for our front 7 which has put pressure on the quarterback enough to mask the clear lack of talent in the secondary. these dudes are stopping the run, getting to the qb, hurrying, sacking, and just causing havoc for opposing offenses. The talent of the front 7 is what is making the secondary appear much better than they are. And for them to carry a shitty secondary and be #1 defense is a testament to how fuging good they are.

Every year it seems like one side of the ball is good and the other side falters. One day we are going to put it all together.

Rivera got the defense he wanted to build, too bad a head coach needs to work on offense as well. 

 

I really want this team to succeed, this defense is just too good to dismantle during a coaching change.

 

I guess the real shame is that the one O lineman we took this year never saw the practice field.

Ron didn't even care enough about the o line to make sure the pick was healthy, even after struggling with a patchwork line last year.

A repeated and preventable mistake.

The defense better be good with all the resources they spend on that side of the ball. When you continuously ignore the oline, the wrs, and invest heavily in a running game but at the same time expect your qb to win the game for you, you get the Carolina Panthers.

I thought defense win superbowls. Not!

Need a balance of both

Is anyone really surprised that one unit is statistically awesome while the other is statistically bad?

This is the thumb print of the Ron Rivera philosophy.

Cam, Smith, Kalil, Stew, DWill, Gross....and for that matter Otah, AE, Jarrett, Pickles, etc.

 

This team has spent on the O side of the ball, just stupidly.

I'm depressed at this stat considering how good our offense was last year and the year before. We can't ever seem to put it all together. Hopefully whoever the new coach is will be able to take this team to the next level.

This team has spent on the O side of the ball, just not recently.

Fixed.
