Noted defensive powerhouse,

The Kansas City Chiefs

[–] Based_RNGesus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Does this adjust for points not actually given up by the defense? Like pick 6 or kick returns?

[–] Art-RJS@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yea I feel like the browns have won some games that are really high scoring by both teams

Cept Denver has like a top 5 defense now

[–] Brodie1567@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It was after half time against the Bears. Fields hung 28 in the first half & then it felt like we saw a different defense in the second. It’s been upward since then. Kudos to VJ.

[–] schmatz17@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

The fact that our offense is dick, and our defense gives up this many yards really amplifies our record being an anomaly. I think most people assume we have an elite defense when its really just been Watt and Highsmith. Dashes of cam and minkah but both have missed time

[–] zPolaris43@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bend don’t break and splash

[–] AltecFuse@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

We are the bend don’t break prototype

[–] Quavers88@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's an elite defense in the red zone and that's somehow enough.

I like the aesthetics of there being a pretty cut and dry top 5

[–] sgobern@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

These numbers are a fugazi thanks to the Bears and Jets, we are even more dog shit than it looks

[–] MordinSolusSTG@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Justin Herbert though

[–] OldKingClancy20@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yep. Those back to back games got everyone thinking our defense might actually be something but really just spray painted dogshit gold.

[–] blud_13@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Its nice to see the 3 Chargers fans in here collaborating..

[–] CoachMcGuirk_1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Our team motto: The Chewbacca Defense. It does not make sense.

Call me crazy, but points against is a more important stat than yards against.

[–] Altruistic-Zone1664@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Points can be deceiving though. For example, the Ravens had 31 points against the Browns Sunday.

However, that doesn't properly describe the Browns defensive performance.

The Ravens only scored 17 points on actual offensive drives. 7 of those points came on a pick 6, and another TD came on a muffed punt that gave the ball to the Ravens all the way on the 11 yard line. Which, on a side note, shouldn't have even scored in the first place since the refs took a Lamar INT in the endzone off the board with a completely bs holding call on a 3rd down play.

Scoring matters in each game, but yardage can be a very good indicator of games going forward.

Unlabeled dashed line, whatever you are, thank you for making me feel fkn stupid.

[–] meece2010@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That Miami game really fucked up any stat I was hoping to enjoy

[–] formyamusementation@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

In all seriousness, I know that game absolutely sucked for the Broncos, but I think it was the turning point for the Broncos season. Being utterly humiliated like that had to be motivating. As a fan of the Chiefs, I wish it had been a normal beat down and not a near historic one. Maybe then, the Broncos would still be on the skid. Doubt it though. I hated the Broncos for a long time. I started feeling bad for you all last year.

How are the bears if you take out defense/st touchdowns against?

[–] AnthonyBarrHeHe@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seeing the Vikings just in the middle makes me so fucking happy lol worlds different than last season thank you baby Jesus

[–] Juicy_Joey@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Jack Del Rio is just a big ol goober

[–] SevroAuShitTalker@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How does it look if you remove the dolphins game from the broncos?

[–] Juicy_Joey@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Adjusted to taking the stats of the dolphins game, and replacing them with the season average of the other 8 games: here

[–] WelcometoCigarCity@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bowles with the bend but dont break defense.

[–] SRSgoblin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What kind of sociopath sets up the graph axis this way? I'm looking at the top right thinking "gee I wonder who sucks" and I'm seeing all the best teams in the league.

It increases as you go left and down? Null is top right? What the shit.

[–] Juicy_Joey@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Typically in sports analytics good is top right, bad is bottom left

[–] Zoidburger_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe if we stopped turning the ball over on offense and giving up pick-6s our D would look a lil better 😭

[–] Chessh2036@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why can’t we ever have a decent defense and decent offense at the same time?

[–] FunInitiative1730@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

How the hell is Pittsburgh winning.

[–] FaceRockerMD@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I've been waiting for this sweet sweet mediocre defense for years!

[–] TetrisTech@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Shoutout to Carolina giving up yardage around the same as defenses like San Fran, Baltimore, and Dallas while also giving up 27 PPG

[–] SDEexorect@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

reminder that 6 of our last 8 first round picks was defense.

[–] Habreno@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

WHAT THE HELL IS CLEVELAND DOING OVER THERE?

We only let up 1 more PPG than Cleveland but let up like 150 more yards lol bend but don't break

[–] AnalWarfare@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Joe Woods is a football terrorist...

[–] MaeronTargaryen@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

WOOOOOO WE’RE AVERAGE!

[–] dicta85@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Where would Cleveland be without points scored by opposing defenses? I feel like the offense is good for giving up at least 7 a game on a pick six or fumble recovered for a TD.

[–] Otherwise_Awesome@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You have a graph like this for the Goffense?

[–] Juicy_Joey@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’ll think about it

[–] wasdie639@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This graph would indicate we're better than 3-5.

[–] Juicy_Joey@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Jordan Love stinks right now

[–] Hyper_red@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

New England would be one of the best defenses if all of the star players weren't out for the season and we had DBs (all out due to injury) Any chance of doing decent this year was based on the defense being elite but that went down the drawn when injury destroyed the defense.
