In the three SB teams, we were 24th, 7th and 9th in yards allowed. We were 6th, 7th, and 2nd in points allowed.
IMHO, if we focus on being in the top 10 in points allowed, we'll be fine, given that our offense is so good at scoring points.
A new stat is games in which points scored exceed points allowed. We have done well at this stat over the past 10 years, even with our "lousy" defenses.

This is reality: Vince Wilfork is second on the team in interceptions. Since I've been told repeatedly around here that we're somehow intentionally allowing a ton of yards through the air in favor of getting our hands on turnovers, that statistic would seem to be very troubling. So not only is our pass defense equal to a strainer, but our second leading interceptor is a 375 pound defensive lineman. :ugh:
I still don't understand how some of you could watch our dynasty defenses (yes, we did have defenses that both limited yardage and snagged turnovers after Polian put his mark on the league) and think that this one is doing just fine. Yes, getting some of our injured players (Haynesworth) back could change that (and quickly), but right now they look about two steps too slow.
