Seriously, you may have been champion this season, but I'll tell you something, it wasn't because your defensive quality. You're not among top 10 defenses around here Duff, your offense is too powerful, so you got this trophy. Look around, check results and you'll see what I'm talking about. I'm saying this because I found it ridiculous to sell your DC abilities, specially coming from you.Can anyone name a single defender on ***O***?
Did we have any guys that even sniffed Defensive MVP?
We were near the bottom of the league in sacks, tied for last in hurries (LAST!), middle of the road in INTs, high up in forced fumbles.
Yet we were among the lowest in points allowed per game and just off the pace for lowest in passing yards allowed per game.
I will also refer you to this post.

One of the common themes in our 4th quarter comebacks has been the ability of our defense to make huge plays late.
I don't know how moral effects that. It could also be that teams are using a more conservative gameplan in the 4th, and my defense is set up to stop a conservative gameplan if we are trailing in the 4th.

Running the scout for these 4 games, here are the numbers our defense gave up in the 4th quarter.
Yards per play 3.65, total of 300 yards allowed in 4 games
Rushing 4.61 ypc against
Passing 8 for 39, 21%
In our two games against MEM we held you to 3 of 18 in the 4th quarter. A bunch of 3 and outs and your defense was right back on the field.
If you don't think our defense is top 10, we really need to set up a scrimmage.
