3rd down defense

[Ring 6]

with a 1/11 3rd down conversion performance today our d Is now 8/63 for the season.
That is a ridiculous almost impossible stat.
We don’t have today stats yet but they will only improve the numbers.
Before today on 3rd down our d was

12 rushes for 15 yards 2/15 success
14/31 passing for 188 4 ints and 9 Sacks
5 conversions out of 40 attempts.
5 conversions 4 ints.
14 completions, 9 of which were short of the yards ended and 9 sacks


I have never in my lifetime seem a defense at any level own 3rd down like that.

We need to get that down to 11% if we want a shot at a ring this year

I am more amazed to see Andy use percentages.

Love everything about this D : vs the run, vs the pass, early down, late downs...

It was 2nd and 1. Then, the D pushed WAS back on two consecutive plays. With 2019 rules and play style. It’s amazing.

I would especially like to see the # of negative plays / game. Seems like a lot of 3rd and 10+.

Give it a few moments, maybe he'll start arguing with himself about it

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Remember when it was horrendous and we could never get off the field.. I think around 2011 and 2012

Your obsession is creepy.

 

[maust]

Your obsession is creepy.

On a creepiness scale where would it rank with someone that's even managed to argue with themselves?

On another note, looks like I made it off ignore.

Time to pump the brakes.

Pittsburgh Ben was hurt before the game even started. The Pats have played a bunch of Patsies and backup QBs.

 

[TheFlyingWedge]

The Pats D has yet to allow a passing TD this year - that’s impressive!

Hate that excuse for anything. They play the schedule. If they won a Super Bowl and only beat two or three teams with a winning record all year does it matter?

Truth of the matter is the D is playing great.

It didn't when the Dirty Don's team went undefeated but times change

Roeth was not hurt against us.

Regardless only allowing 2 offensive TDS in 5 games demands respect

It also seems to inspire insipid attempts at triggering

That's on you.

I have no control over your emotional state.

I heard that he was hurt but the Steelers hid it.

Good for you, you finally got one right! It's like a blind squirrel finding an acorn but still...good for you.

(btw, you might want to check the definition of insipid lol)

That would not surprise me.

Actually he was just butt hurt and that surprises...no one
