2015 is the cautionary tale. That team was absolutely stacked. There was chatter about 16-0 and I believe they were up there with 2007’s offense according to advanced stats like DVOA, until Lewis, Edelman, Blount, Solder, Develin, and Hightower got injured to various degrees, greatly effecting the team. Injuries can really play a huge factor. They started 10-0 and scored 27+ points games 1-9, and then the wheels started to wobble. The 2014 and 2016 teams were magnificent, but I think 2015 was better if it weren’t for the injuries...that was arguably their best team on paper of the 2010s.
I like 2019 more than 2015. While I liked the defense in 2015, I love the defense this year.
