The League's Best D

[J12B]

Which team would you say has the best defense in the league?

There doesn't seem to be a clear leader and there is no defense like the Jags last season or the Seahawks during their legion of boom that could consistently shut down the opposition.

I'd say Dallas should be in the conversation for the best or at the very least top 3 behind the Bears. Dallas has no weakness and the only issue has been a lack of creating turnovers. However, the defense has changed that over the last couple of weeks and is trending upward.

It’s hard to play good defense in this league.

Cleveland is towards the top in points allowed and take always.

The rules are just so in favor of offenses that solid defense has become a luxury.

I have no clue what defense is the best. They’re all similar.


That’s why this Saints game is big. Imagine the perception of our defense if we hold the Saints around 20 and get a turnover or 2.

Or if they give up 50 and create no turnovers or no sacks.

We'll see how good we are on Thursday.

pretty much this, although i would say if the offense lays a fat turd for most of the game leaving the defense on the field, that could skew things a bit

 

[lukin2006]

Thursday will tell us a lot about our D.

Everybody talks about the high flying offenses of today's NFL. Who haven't even won a Superbowl yet.

When the Patriots opened it up and they destroyed everyone with Brady- Moss to make it to the Superbowl 17-0.

What brought them down?

Defense

 

[Tabascocat]

Maybe Baltimore? There for sure isn't a dominating, beastly defense this season. Teams like Buffalo, Cleveland and maybe even Dallas might be better defensively than they are with better offenses......IDK.

 

[ThatJerryKid]

David Irving has the ability to give the Cowboys the best defense in football. Too bad he’s a dip spit.....I think I spelled the last word wrong.

He thinks the same to your posts.

My 1st thought was possibly the Ravens.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

My 1st thought was possibly the Ravens.

Their defense had 2 TDs today

 

[Idgit]

A good defense is such a benefit to fall back on.

If Romo had this defense in 2014, we’d have #6. Maybe #7.

LMAO

 

[ScipioCowboy]

I don’t think there’s a defense in the league that could hold the Saints to less than 30 when they’re clicking.

 

[Pantone282C]

Brees is a general on the field, but I hope we give him fits!

 

[gmoney112]

Bears probably

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

The Saints will be a true test and the biggest test for the Defense. They don't even have to "shut down" the Saints. But, if they can limit them to making the game reachable and winnable in the 4th that will be impressive.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

When fully healthy, I think we're the best in the NFL. Let's just hope our offense doesn't ruin it before we get a chance to make the playoffs. Having Lee and Irving back for the playoffs could make us a dark horse to win it all.

Bears are #1- tough against the run and allow a low amount of points, also they generate crazy turnovers and turn them into touchdowns. Only knock is sometimes they lack pressure
