2nd Best Defense in the Playoffs

[Brunz]

I'd rather play Baltimore but were not going to be an easy out for anyone.

Our defense has been the #1 defense in my mind since the halfway point. I wish I knew how to look up stats from that point on.

If anyone knows how could you post up defense rankings since then? Thanks!

Its also be extremely cool to be the reason why PITT and BAL's seasons were a failure. That would totally eat at them and their fans seeing as our team is way younger than both theirs

The reason I'm scared of Denver is because we have to to Denver and that means very limited Geno. Without Atkins, we have very little chance of getting pressure on Manning.

And for the record, we have the best defense in the playoffs. Our defense has been #1 since week 10.

Their recieving core may be worse, but the TEs, Oline, OC, and importantly HC are all loads better. They will scheme the ever living **** out of us compared to the Steelers. To say the patriots in the playoffs don't scare you is just insane. Yes, I think we can brat them, but I will forever be scared of the Brady bellicheck combination in the playoffs at NE.

Regardless of offense, defense makes this team a very formidable opponent.

But what has our offense done i would like to see those rankings past few weeks

It's not impressive. We're not far off though, we just keep missing these opportunities. Can't miss forever.

Look.. to win the Superbowl, we have to beat the best teams in our conference and then the best team in the NFC.

I shouldn't matter who we get or who we face. We have a top ranked defence, a solid running game (Pittsburgh aside) and a good enough offence.

We can NOT fear anyone.

We have to take a "bring it on, nothing to lose" attitude and just do whatever it takes to win... even if it's ugly (like last Sunday's win against Pittsburgh).

We aren't blowing anyone out.. we have to play AFCN football and grind our opponents down. Brady, Manning, Schaub, Flacco and Luck have flaws and can be rattled. Each AFC team is going to be SO worried about our defence and our sack machine, Geno Atkins, that it'll be an advantage to us.

Our offence was good enough to beat the #1 -- read that again -- NUMBER ONE defence in the NFL.

Bottom line: If our defence outplays our opponents defence and we take a "bring it on, nothing to lose" attitude... we can win any game against anyone. Just look at the Giants two SB wins and the Packers when they were the 6th seed. If they can do it, so can we.

Who dey.

We play who we play ..... Gotta line up and play who ever is there

Baltimore would be cool but I'm not into losing to them this week to get that. I think we beat them and the colts beat em.

TOTAL D ranking in the NFL
Denver - 3
Cincinnati - 6
Houston - 9
Baltimore - 20
Indy - 26
New England - 27

So yeah, I'll be happy to pay the Patriots. Best way to keep Brady from scoring is to keep him off the field. We've got the team to do that. WHO DEY!

as a 1st round game, I would like Indy, Oilers or Baltimore, those on here that think Tom or that guy in Denver wouldn't carve us up like a turkey are crazy
