We both know better. But here's why this D is different so far. Although this years D has bent, they havnt broken. First we just finished 1st qtr of season. There's a lot of football left and we are 2- 2  not 0-4 or 1-3 I remember following the stats closely 2010 SB year.  At one point towards end of year we were giving up around 21 pts (we didn't break in the red zone that year) a game BUT the yardage we gave up passing? Inexcusable!Actually eerily similar to the run yardage today. I contend this;  1. We improve. (Cause there's no other way to go! Lol) 2.teams score faster passing meaning if theyre beating us passing its a scorefest in this case it's more of a time of possession thing which is in our favor because the GB  Offense scores quickly passing. Notice Time of possession the last couple games we won. Our overall time was LESS than 30 min a game yet we not only Won. We had 1 game we smoked them -ChicAgo. 3.IMO we have a better secondary which equates to INT and TO's. If you recall we had a positive turnover ratio in 2010 and that meant more opportunities for AR and Co and an offset on that passing gashing we took 2010. So if teams run on us so be it. We can still absorb that in the short term as long as we improve as the season progresses. Good news. We don't need top 5 run D here,by my estimation top 16 would do it and that's reasonably fixable. We do need positive takeaway ratio to compensate for that extra 50-100yards run gashing we've had. I don't think every SB team works by the same template and as long as we continue to bend and not break this team is dangerous</blockquote>
