Does that help?

Am I the only one seeing thru the numbers
on this defense?
- Yes we were the worst D in football for several weeks. If you go purely
by stats, they're horrible.
- but I saw aggressiveness, pressure, some ball hawking, giants runners
stuffed at the line.
- also sunday, they made the stop that counted. the last one that forced a punt.

- yall know ive been critical, but im starting to like this defense, and our
young guns

100% agree. Statistically, they are horrible. But, they have not quit and have made plays when they had to. They'll continue to improve and gel.

statistically bad, yes, I agree with you that it doesn't mean much in a win

here's my big concern:
14 points by Atl in the 4th Q
21 points by Indy in the last 18 minutes
28 2nd half points by the Giants

are we tired on defense, or are everybody's adjustments working and ours aren't?
