New England. Bet on offense over defense.

Posted by David (aka David) Jan 30 '15, 09:51

BB has had two weeks to look at all of the things that Seattle couldn't defend in their fluke win over GB.

Responses:

NE's Defense is the weakest unit on the field. Option game is something they don't deal with regularly. -- nm - budice Jan 30, 10:12 5
- Seattle offense: -33.5. New England defense: +85.2. - David Jan 30, 10:15 4
  - Points Allowed 254 -- 313. Yards allowed 4274 -- 5506. 900 fewer yards passing, 350 fewer yards rushing.... - Will Hunting Jan 30, 10:25 3
    - Sure, they grade every play, not just the basic stats. - David Jan 30, 10:29 2
      - I'm calculating that a team gave up 25% less points and yards. One is distinctly better than the other. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 10:32 1
        
        Who were the opponents? When was the yardage gained and points earned? Things don't happen in a vacuum. - David Jan 30, 10:34
I thik Seattle wins because of this. -- (link) - Shaun Jan 30, 10:06 [Backboard]
What happened last year? -- nm - amoxy Jan 30, 10:05 6
- A terrible snap on the first play of the game followed by Murphy's Law. -- nm - David Jan 30, 10:09 5
  - 43-8 isn't a Murphy's Law. It's a beating. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 10:11 4
    - 4 fumbles, 2 interceptions. It was Murphy's Law. -- nm - David Jan 30, 10:17 3
      - Funny how you defend the helmet catch on the previous page and then can't grasp that Denver got completely destroyed last year. - Shaun Jan 30, 10:19 1
        
        That Denver had the better team but that Seattle's defense was the best unit, same as everybody else. -- nm - David Jan 30, 10:24
      - No, that's a shitty performance. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 10:18
I look at that GB game as everything went against the norm... - Will Hunting Jan 30, 09:54 5
- Seattle simply doesn't have any playmakers in the passing game. -- nm - David Jan 30, 10:00 3
  - Luke Willson has been huge, Baldwin is servicable. -- nm - budice Jan 30, 10:08

  - That's true, but they seem to do pretty well at having a competent offense. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 10:01
- Some of the INTs were bounces off receivers. -- nm - budice Jan 30, 09:56
