2004 Regular Season Total Defense

Team G Plys Yds/G Y/P FD/G 3rd Md 3rd Att 3rd % 4th Md 4th Att 4th % Pen PenYds TOP TF L

Pittsburgh 15 828 257.8 4.7 15.5 61 181 33.7 6 12 50.0 92 767 26:05 25 11

Washington 15 908 264.1 4.4 15.3 63 211 29.9 6 16 37.5 90 748 28:37 17 8

Buffalo 15 908 264.4 4.4 16.2 69 195 35.4 10 14 71.4 113 825 29:18 29 14

These stats match your picture of ESPN's bubba. Sadly, it's 15 games. Not 16..

AHEM! Did anyone see my post in this thread? Am I looking at old stats or did we finish five yards betterthan Buffalo? I believe we are #2 in yards allowed.

Going into the game, Washington trailed Pittsburgh by 94 yards in total defense, which is measured by total offensive yards allowed. (. . .) The Steelers limited the Bills to 267 yards in their 29-24 victory retain their No. 1 defensive ranking. The Redskins finished second.

imho the argument between "playmaking D" and "statistical D" is moot. Our D has been stopping people all year, forcing 3-and-outs.

You can look at one or two big plays on D, and say YAY! That's a play-making D!! Or you can look at the overall effort. We have stopped people, forced sacks, and our offense almost always got the ball when we needed. Haven't been able to do much with it, but still.

That's the reason why we don't have as many pro-ballers. Our defense is all business. Not that many flashy plays, but they did everything they had to do to keep our offensively-inept team in the game.
