Proof that the defense is championship caliber

**Culex** · 11-21-2017, 02:13 AM

Defenses with 3+ shut outs in a season

03 Pats - SB Champs
00 Ravens - SB Champs
91 Skins - SB Champs

01 9ers also did it but lost in the wild card round.. which would still exceed some of our expectations.

Keep it up Defense!

The 91 Skins set the all time points record.

The 00 Ravens allowed the least points ever in a season

The 03 Patriots had the leagues best defense and a top 12 offense

None of these teams won the Super Bowl because of 3 shutouts in the regular season.

Surface level "understanding", ignorant to true facts of the situation.

Tony Kornheiser's "bandwagon" team. Got to hand it to TK. He called their SB win after their WEEK ONE game. And I mean, he called it really loudly and publicly. They crushed the Lions in Detroit 45-0 in week 1, and by Monday or Tuesday that week Kornheiser's column proclaimed them the SB champ, and told his readers to get on the Bandwagon.

The Redskins annoy the shit out of me, but that was really a tremendous team. They were powerful in every phase. Made the game look easy. I think Football Outsiders has them as their #1-ranked team by DVOA across all seasons they've looked at.

Actually, not at all.

San Frans offense was ranked 3rd in the NFL.

If the 03 Patriots had this current Ravens defense, it would still win the Superbowl.

Smh.....this defense is good. Maybe very good. But great, "championship caliber" defenses don't let down at critical times. They don't allow the Bears to run the ball down their throats. They don't fail to get off the field at critical junctions in the 4th quarter. They don't allow Blake Fucking Bortles to throw the ball all over the damn field.

You are what your record says you are, and that's a 5-5, average team, with a below average offense and an above average defense.
