2019 TEAM EFFICIENCY RATINGS | Football Outsiders




- Ghost is killing us
- Offense still being top 10 is promising. Should finish top 5-7 once they iron some things out.

This instantly kills the "they're only ranked #1 in every defensive category because they played bad teams" narrative.

 

[patsinthesnow]

They have potential in time to be the 2015 Broncos with a better offense/QB

 

[Uptown]

What’s so unique about this defensive unit is that there are no “superstars” per se. I.E a Khalil Mack, Donald, Miller, Kuechlys etc.. The unit is smart, tough, cohesive & experienced; playing as a team. Is it possible to stay ranked #1 and stay under the radar? I love these dudes.

That's shooting pretty low. This unit has the chance to be more like the 2000 Ravens. Which is insane, given the rules of this era.

Gilmore and McCourty aren't stars?

Yeah, but do they pass the eyeball test? LOL

Hell no. Maybe to us. Neither of them have multiple All-Pros to their name. I think you know what I mean @SBLIII

1. Stephon Gilmore, Patriots
He doesn't have the mouth of Ramsey or the pizzazz of Peterson, but Gilmore has quietly been an anchor on the Patriots' championship defense since breaking out with the Bills. In his two years with New England, the eighth-year vet made up for just four combined picks with elite coverage grades, allowing a league-low completion percentage in 2018.

2019 Brady is better than 2015 Manning for one.

which part of this offense is better

QB is. Other than that, the Broncos had good weapons but their QB play was just terrible.

 

[patsinthesnow]

The Broncos had 21 TDs & 24 INTs in 19 games..and still went 15-4. QB play not comparable between the teams.

 

[Jangles]

That’s all fine and well, but we’re gonna need some people to block for him and catch his passes

IMO Gilmore is a superstar.

 

[Uptown]

IMO Gilmore is a superstar.

I can’t knock that. He surely has been playing like a superstar for the last year or so, but I meant “superstar” as in household name/ sure-fire HOF players etc...No big deal.
