I heard on the radio this morning that now the Seahawks have allowed the fewest points in the NFL (one point less than the niners)...93 points.

We gave up a lot of yards yesterday, though, so I am sure our yardage ranking has gone down. Anyone know where we sit after yesterday?

#4 in yards/gm at 294.7.

Edit: We fell behind the 49ers in yards per play. They're at 4.6, we're at 4.7 (when we were at 4.4, I believe.)

Well, in the points per game category, the Bears actually took the lead by not playing this week. If you go total points, you can't count them because they've had a bye week. As far as Yards Per Game, we are sitting in 4th place. The rankings look like this...

1) 49ers.....275.8

2) Cowboys....285.2

3) Bears....291.2

4) Seahawks....294.7

5) Stealers....295.8

The way the Pats have been playing on offense recently, I fully expected our defensive rankings to drop. Nice to see us still in the top 5.

Okay, so maybe that pass rush is still an issue. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I expected us to drop farther than 4 for sure. I knew we would be Top 10 still, but we gave up a LOT of yards. Good to see we're still in the Top 5. Without a huge collapse (knock on wood), we should stay Top 5 the rest of the year, as the Pats were the best Offense we will see this season.

We will move back up for the rest of the season. We've played some really high caliber offenses so far. Look at the rest of that schedule and tell me there's a high powered offense on it. We might have some tough games and a few losses, but we're not going to give up yards like we did vs NE again this season.

By the end of the year, we'll be either the #1 defense or #2 behind Chicago.
