15-1 and the best offense in franchise history and a turnover creating defense vs balanced offense and a sack heavy defense
Lot of insight here LolI don´t care if this team is better than the 2011 edition as long as the outcome is a different one.

Be careful ivo, there wasn't a lot of insight in the OP and as one of the posters here who frequently posts links with no comment at all... Just say'n.Lot of insight here Lol
We will probably be favored to win our next 2-3 games, but going 15-1 with games on the road against Carolina and Arizona.....let's just keep getting better and hope Bulaga is back soon.
Don´t forget we have to play at Denver and Minnesota as well.
The 2011 defense was ranked #32 in the league.
and #1 in INTsThe 2011 defense was ranked #32 in the league.
2011 secondary was straight ball hawks nick collins, tramon williams, charles woodson.
It was a defense that was tentative up front and route jumping in the back, with generally poor tackling all around. For every pick there were two blown coverages. Those picks were the desert without the meat and potatoes. If the picks don't come organically out of a sound defense, the odds of playoff failure are particularly high.and #1 in INTs

I think in this crowd, most everybody is aware of the yards / INT dichotomy.Just stating facts for people held up on 32nd in yards given up. yards dont tell the whole story
What he described sounds like 2009, not 2011. Finley's dramatic catches were perhaps most notable in 2009, the Arizona OT game was in 2009, and Collins played a full schedule and was named to the Pro Bowl that year.Nick Collins was lost to a career-ending injury in the second game of the 2011 season though. It took Thompson nearly three years to at least adequately replace him.
