RE: Defense
You can't pull the stats done with one game and say they are ranked number one and have a straight face. You really need 3-4 games, when you have a trend, then you can with some preservations rankings. Lets hope that the Panthers lines are as good as they say they are and we did really well against them. Its kind of hard to see where the Panthers are yet.

RE: Defense
Good point. Especially with Jenkins going out with that injury.
