So I've been addicted to stat checking this year so far and found the following stats after the completion of week 5:
Fournette - #2 in rushing yards
Campbell - #3 in sacks
Gipson - #2 in ints
Defense -
#16 overall
#4 pass defense
#31 rush defense
#1 in scoring defense (4 td's)
#1 in sacks
#1 in interceptions
#5-tie in forced fumbles
#5 in points allowed
#1 in turnover differental
#1 in difference between points scored and points allowed
Offense -
#15 overall
#1 rushing team in the league (WOW)
#3rd highest rush per attempt avg
#29 passing offense
Definitely some surprising things on there. I'm surprised at Fournette being #2. I figured he'd move up with Cook being out for the year, but that 90 yard TD really helped him. Here's to hopefully leading the league in rushing yards and still being in one piece!
Also surprised at being the #1 rushing team in the league with everyone knowing to stack the box. Impressive.
Not surprised at any of the defensive stats with what you see on the field. Just hope it continues.
I remember last year a huge argument all year long by certain individuals was scoring defense. We're #1. Awesome.
Stat checking is an addictive thing. I have always been a Monday / Tuesday stat guy seeing where teams are. It's nice that the Jags are not at the bottom in everything for once.
But on the points allowed stat we would more than likely be one spot better if the Dolphins did not have that first week Irma bye.
The only stat that really matters is WINS and well we are doing okay in that stat too!
Yeah that's the main reason I've been checking them is they're not bottom of the barrel for the most part haha
I'm pretty sure the O-line has also given up the fewest sacks in the entire NFL (unless that changed after the PITT game). The only sack I remember is when LF whiffed on a block, it wasn't the Oline's error. They've been outstanding in that regard so far this season.

I'm pretty sure they have too, they've allowed only 5 sacks so far. I just didn't really look for very many stats on offense because well.. common sense lol
Really shows how useless it is to have yards allowed as the primary ranking of a defense.

The only defensive statistics that matter are takeaways (we are #1) and points allowed. However, if we don't give up yards, the opponents are unlikely to score.

That's what Brklyn goes by lol. Give me 1st in points allowed any day of the week. I couldn't care less how many yards we give up as long as they aren't getting in the endzone

I don't want teams to get into easy FG range either.
To keep it in perspective. We faced Tom Savage and fresh off the bench rookie Watson. Then we got tossed up by TEN. Then we beat an over rated Ravens team with no receivers, no RB, over hyped defense, then we lose to McCown. Then Ben had his worst game ever.
Seriously not being a downer. I just hope it's not a fluke like the Vikings started out last year.
I think after the Rams game I'll feel more comfortable with where we truly are. Gurley might go for 200 and 4 TDs. While Goff goes for 95 yards. They could beat us at our own game.

Tom Savage is not new to us. He played over half the Week 15 game and looked great after replacing Brock Osweiler. Comparing those two games, I see it as a sign of improvement for our defense. What to think of Deshaun Watson struggling in that game is debatable. I think our defense set the tone early and kept going like it did not matter who was out there but will not discount the fact it was Watson's first NFL action. In London, we were showing the world (literally) the Ravens are a fluke because they beat the Buckeye State teams but the 37-point margin of victory tells me it was more than that.
Big Ben did not have his worst game ever if you look beyond the interception total. Of course 0:5 is all that matters and we proved the Jets loss was a fluke by doing that to him.

Yeah that's wayyyyy too many what ifs... sorry man you can try and bring this down to earth all you want but after 5 games this team looks legit. You could literally make excuses through 16 games if you wanted too.

What will the narrative be if we lose by 2 scores or more to the Rams? Would you still say we're legit? I don't think many would. That's why this game this weekend will be telling on several levels. If one game has the potential to change the narrative like a loss would this weekend I think it's ok to be a little cautious in crowning them. I think they'll start getting some serious attention if they can win it especially if it's another lopsided affair as all 3 of our other wins have been.

"The Rams offense isn't that good. Next week will be the real test. How can they contain Brissett and Mack and Hilton? I don't know guys. Just not buying it."
This will be you next week and the week after and the week after.....

Have you seen the Rams play yet? Their statistics? Any game highlights? How about their record and why they almost beat the Seahawks? Get your head out of the sand. This is
not, I repeat not, the "7-9 BS" team they were the last 4-5 years. I don't think the Rams are legit playoff contenders, but they were one dropped pass away from being 4-1.

I'm not sure whether you're arguing with me or agreeing with me. I'm not exactly sure if your head is in the sand or not but I'm pretty sure it's somewhere it's not supposed to be.
Hint: I never said the Rams were a bad team, in fact, I said they were better than average in another post.

We're also 5th in the league in scoring, and first in point differential.
#1 in rushing? That’s insanely impressive, given we’ve faced (by far statistically) the most loaded boxes in the league.
Hats off to the O-Line, Nate, Flats, Leonard, and Chris.
And to point out an often overlooked aspect of QB play, nice job by Bortles to get us in the right protections/looks to run the ball effectively.

That is a true statement. I often see Bortles pointing out his protections pre snap

I thought you were saying the Rams are a bad team and losing to them by 2 TDs would make people think our win at Pittsburgh was a fluke. I must have missed the other post.
