That was a little bit too much bending at the end of the game, but a great start to the season...

I think that harkenss back to the poll The Oak posted last week. Whether giving up points or giving up yards qualifies a bad defense, or worst defense in history of the NFL.

I was on the "giving up points" side because a team could give up a ton of yards but stop an offense in the red zone and those yards would be insignificant.

We shut down the falcons when it counted. That's all I care about.

Well they was famous for doing this under Gregg Williams to, give up about 400 yards of offense but the opposing team would only score like 14 pts.

But theirs a little difference between that team and the Rob Ryan team.
