The Colts D when we won the Superbowl reminds me a lot of our D now. Trash *** run D with a solid secondary.
Cant wait for the Luck God to **** boys up this year. This our year B

Except for the Giants, those scoring defenses numbers are skewed because of how great those teams offenses were.

They had an average season and lights out post season just like the packers when they won it.

Each of those teams had defenses that stepped up in the playoffs and still had great individual efforts as well. They were not below average in the playoffs.
Remember that Colts SB team? Their defense was HORRIBLE. Then all of a sudden, they look like a top 5 defense once the playoffs start. The Giant had some great defensive lines. The Saint defense was certainly not as bad as it looked from what the stats tell you. Their defense was tough. The Cardinals may have had the weakest of that bunch, but what their offense did in the playoffs (Kurt, and Larry especially) was truly special. Probably the most succinct and efficient of that bunch during their SB run. Easily, actually.

Damn, those are pretty low.
I wonder if those units were high on turnover differantial to negate points/yards they have up.
Giants just seemed like they clicked at the right time with that devasting front line.
Saints seemed like they were a high takeaway team from what I remember but idk

Id buy the skewed angle if they were middle of the pack but the bottom half of the league skewed? No way
The 2010 Packers actually were ranked 2nd in scoring defense.

This is some revisionist history man,that Saints D was tough man. Darren Sharper and Harper had career years and the D was anchored by Vilma. Those stats are misleading as hell

Scoring defense is only one barometer. Red zone defense, turnover differential and paring down a bit -- QB pressures, are all more important indicators of a defense in today's NFL.

defense ranks based on what? yards allowed? or points?
either way, the playoffs runs that Eli AND his defense had were pretty solid

Exactly. Like I said, Mister will post stuff out of context like he can sneak one by, except this isn't the 80's Dolphins...Most of us remember these teams. Their turnover differential was one of the best in the league. They were very tough.

Forcing turnovers is great and it can be an equalizer, but its not as great of a barometer as scoring defense.

As long as he keeps up the Indianapolis QB tradition of using NRG/Reliant Stadium as his personal outhouse, I'm good with it.

turnover differential i'd say is more important. leading indicator to success IMO.
