I don't know if I agree with this. The defense looks good on the stat sheet overall but it's not like we've really played anybody this year. We lost to Denver without their starting QB. That was Lynch's second career start. We lost to Kansas City without their starting QB. Foles is okay but he's not Smith. This team got demolished by capable QB's this year like Mariota and Rivers. We played Rodgers in the opener but they're in a huge slump this year. Flacco isn't elite. Chicago had Hoyer who was the back-up when we got there to play. Luck started gouging us late in the London game. Osweiler is one of the worst QB's this year with Bortles. Taylor in Buffalo isn't an elite QB. He's barely a good QB. We got beat by good QB's again like Stafford and Carr as well. The problem is that our offense, mostly Bortles, puts this team in a whole and gives the opponents a 7 to 10 point head start thanks to his costly mistakes so we're not really getting the best of our opposing offense all the time because they don't have to work too hard against this team that just shoots itself in the foot.
