What I was saying was that while our D did an admirable job in only allowing 16 points, they still allowed 380 yards on the way there. Not every team will fail to punch it in and those 380 yards will turn into 30+ points like the Bill's did.
We know the result there. We have the most complete offense in the NFL, only Greenbay could match us point for point in recent weeks with Buffalo falling off, and luckily we won't see Greenbay this season outside of a Superbowl matchup.
I am happy with the progress, obviously, but I am not crowning this a 'championship caliber' defense unless by that you include a defense that was along for the ride of a team that can win a championship offensively.
The D won't be called upon to win a game in its current state, even on Sunday, while only allowing 16 points, it was still Tom Brady and the offense called on in the final minutes and leaving Dallas with only 27(?) seconds and 80 yards to go. Barring a Brandon Merriweather knock-out-your-own-teammate kind of play, any defense should hold there with a 4point lead.
The progress over the past 2 weeks is promising, but the D hasn't been as opportunistic as last season, and the offense has been much more careless, without looking at numbers I'd venture to say we've given up the ball twice as many times through 6 games as we did in 16 last year. The young defense is getting tested far more than anyone would like and getting exposed more often than not.
....I'd also be hesitant to put too much stock into the performance against the Jets, they have an embarrassing offense. If we limit more teams like Dallas I'll start be to more thoroughly impressed.
