Quote:Wrong. If the defense is on the field longer, the Steelers will score more points than us and we lose. Why do you think time of possession battles are so important?

 

Plus it is not an idea. It is an indisputable fact that the defense is on the field longer. And with an offense like ours, that is never a good thing.

 

I personally don't understand why nobody has come up with the obvious in that it really doesn't matter if the defense is on the field longer this year compared to previous years. We have more people that can rotate in now, so yes the defense being on the field longer does equal more sack potential when you're rotating a lot more people than last year or any year before that. 

 

It's still a useless stat when we're giving up the most points in the league per game.
