LOB was established after a serious stretch of games that terrorized tho opponents with a defense that was brutal. Kam asked the fans for the nickname to describe that. I haven't seen anything close to what happened then. Jones did describe a few games as the " death zone" but I think the jury and the name should still be out..

Nicknames are for historically great and/or historically significant offensive or defensive units like the steel curtain, greatest show on turf, legion of boom, etc.

Our defense has played much better over the past 4 or 5 games, but they're still pretty far from being worthy of a nickname.

At least win a couple playoff games before thinking a nickname is in order. Seems premature.

Here are some nicknames that were well-earned.

Legion of Boom
Greatest Show on Turf
No-Name Defense
Orange Crush Defense
Monsters of the Midway

What do all these have in common?
They all either won a SUPER BOWL or at least made it to the Super Bowl.

But do they have the name on the way to the Super Bowl and the big game makes the name stick?
