In a different thread I just posted that stat showing that our defense is averaging giving up 31 points per game,the worst in 20 years. Dak’s been great but it’s the inability to sign players to shore up the defense unless the offense can just flat out score everybody.....time will tell
way off!
a lot of those were garbage scores and i don't count them, they are much improved and truly in crunch time my eyes tell me they aren't as bad as they nit picking stats show..this defense is far better then last year and not historically bad..
we gave up a lot of garage stats to philly and Carolina but when the game was in hand for 50 mins we had them under 20, against MN under 20, those points last week some were squarely on the offense..i mean giving back the balls on failed 4th downs, missed fgs, too many punts on failed drives, and TOs all matter.
most fans can see though the bs and can actualize when games matters and in hand they are not giving up 31 points a game type defense..
many teams pad points and stats in losing efforts like we have say game 1 and all of last year..its skews reality..
i see a middle of the pack defense overall not great or bad just average, we have been most inured and the starters will come back and hopefully hit their stride in December when we have more complete DL..
