In short, a model NFL citizen who seems to spawn other model citizens. But with Sean McVay entrenched as the Rams' offensive play-caller, Staley will be under the microscope.

No we don't. Although his Jets run failed -- largely because of bad rosters -- the Bucs immediately rebounded under the longtime defensive coach.

Jags win total was right on the mark. I posted this in the DVOA predictions thread as areas where I disagreed with the projections.

Last year's Ravens got by after letting C.J.

I very much hope it comes to pass. One interesting thing is that they have almost identical DPAR/pass attempts.

Yes. and laugh at me while I chase him. 89 - The difference between the examples you offered up and his argument for Dungy is that Dungy has maintained excellence for two different franchises over an extended period of time. one team has nothing to play for, and the other has a lot to play for)).

Not a top 5, by any stretch. Why? THAT would be collusion. Of course, not every team that had a terrible game in Week 17 was sitting its starters. Hasselbeck came up 34 yards short and didn't play the second half against Atlanta. An overlooked advantage of teams employing a failed head coach as D-coordinator: continuity. The Dolphins' defensive play-calling duties remain uncertain, but head coach Brian Flores gave the reins to first-time defensive coordinator Patrick Graham last season.

I think we Patriots fans need some type of counseling, that helps put into the perspective the things you mentioned (16-0, COY, QB and WR...favored to win the SB)

- *720 TD passes were thrown, 2nd only to 2004's amount of 732 by AndyE (not verified) // Jan 01, 2008 - 4:22pm.

by langsty (not verified) // Dec 31, 2007 - 9:14pm, NB. I think it is impossible to handicap the Colts chances in the tournament until we really find out what games Polian is playing with all the injured players -- specifically Harrison and the d-line.

First? The Bucs are in good shape defensively for the first time in years.

They also finish with the best offensive rating ever. Other teams in the playoffs such as the Steelers (.453, 116 - 140), the Cowboys (.496, 127 - 129), had less difficult opponents.

The Colts may have a good D, but there is no way to know that with this schedule. by Herm?

Get off my lawn, punk! The Jaguars are on fire. Becasue they are a top 10 team.

When Dan Quinn ceded play-calling responsibilities to Morris and Jeff Ulbrich in November, the Falcons showed noticeable improvement. Only Myles Jack, Yannick Ngakoue (unless he's traded) and nose tackle Abry Jones remain.

The Patriots still make plays when they need them and can shut down the Lemon/Losman offenses, but does anyone see them as being as good as the defense they had in 03 and 04?

Peyton just narrowly edged him out in DOVA 62.8% to 62.0%.

-San Diego’s ‘bad’ projection is fueled entirely by the 29th ranked projected defense. by PatsFan (not verified) // Jan 03, 2008 - 4:21pm.

The Ravens have ranked as a top-10 scoring defense a staggering 16 times since 1999; six coordinators were responsible for such performances.

Plus they've been burned by it in the past.).

Right? From Weeks 10-16; their DVOA has been about 54%! I guess the past 2 years have given proof to two of the what if statements of the irrational debate, that given a good defense (if only for the playoffs) Manning could win a Superbowl and given

1996 Green Bay: 26.6%. It's the head coach equivalent of saying "that tie is ugly and your girlfriend hates green, but it's up to you what to do about it." And while we're at it, I hope that the weather is good. 92 - The team that fired him would offer him a job?

Actually, going back to the Indy game in week 9, I would say that every Patriots opponent has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at them. Even though you're sitting on a couch or barstool, doesn't it cause a crazy adrenaline rush (or nerves or whatever other peoiple call it)?

Also, stabbing yourself in the eye is the new naptime, this is something I would recommend.

In this week’s column, we discuss the dominant play of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and whether or not it’s sustainable against a typically sound Las Vegas Raiders offense.

Called Rivers a crybaby ever since I saw him throw a temper tantrum on Sunday Night Football in 2006 against the Chiefs (he was having an awful game; LT carried them to victory as usual). The Bengals, who did encounter some defensive injuries, ranked 30th in DVOA in a 2-14 season. But you put them against a team in the bottom half of the league, they will win.

Pagano, 59, has a big task ahead again, with Chicago's quarterback situation still requiring staunch defensive support. And I'll have all my pretty charts up shortly.

Is it really the #3 D in the NFL? I discern no significant advantage for Indy in having Ten play rather than Cle in the playoffs - after all, if Ten wins, then the Colts may have to play Jax... by Eric P (not verified) // Jan 04, 2008 - 9:58am.

So I'm thinking that overall, tinkering with the opponent adjustment for week 17 might be useful. Take it up with Polian and the competition committee.

by Mike (not verified) // Dec 31, 2007 - 7:02pm. You know that I feel what Jon Kitna or Kurt Warner does is a harder job than say the Redskins or Chiefs quarterback is asked to do but I don't think DVOA has any "style" control or anything like that ( and even a weather control).

Too drunk to write more. However, that rating comes with an asterisk. The Buccaneers & Giants D/STs headline our Fantasy Football Defense Rankings for Week 7 of the 2020 NFL season. I think the boring mantra of "defense wins championships" came up in the media a lot when you had a 4-year run (2000-03) of teams that weren't so good offensively winning the SB.

It's like a bull being bothered by a single gnat.

Their defensive backups made Tennessee's starters look inept Sunday night, holding them to 2.5 yards per carry. While we're using arbitrary measures of team value. Mutual respect? Their 2020 unit oozes top-tier potential.

How many other teams could have given the Pats that kind of game?

TEN, 4 qtrs vs. DEN (all but one drive) so in total Manning sat for 7 quarters in 2004, and as I've mentioned in a previous post he had 2 fourth quarter TDs in his record breaking year with his team up by 14+ points.

A bad team, but not the historically bad team they looked like a few weeks ago. Can your defensive juggernaut stop your opponenet at the end of the game to win? Perhaps it was quite evident to the Pats this year that they lost last year, and that two good WR's were on the market cheap? Boyer coached the Patriots' cornerbacks for seven seasons, and that tenure included Darrelle Revis' final elite slate (2014) and Stephon Gilmore's breakout year (2018). After the final game, this year stands out even more as a year when there were a few very good defenses, but no great ones.

Next year is rebuilding: they should finish 6 - 10 next year with Monte Kiffin as head coach.

I feel the same about NE-Indy. My usual pop-psych analysis would be inferiority complex, but that's unthinkable at this point.

Moving past a monstrous gulf between Nos.

There isn't much else you can do without giving up PI call after PI call. They led the league in points allowed and didn't allow more than 25 points in any game. Interesting definition. On to the housekeeping... All the team stats pages and individual stats pages are now updated with final 2007 numbers.

With Sean Payton and OC Pete Carmichael having been in their jobs for over 10 years, Allen gives the Saints rare stability going into a season in which that will be crucial. Let it be noted that the term "phony fungi" was posted by a lions guy. Should there be any correction to the ratings for resting starters and testing rookies in week 17?

Win enough games. The zone-based scheme has helped turn Tre'Davious White into an All-Pro, and Buffalo's Micah Hyde-Jordan Poyer safety duo spearheaded the defense's back-to-back top-three yardage rankings. Crap! All of those wins were sloppy.

Even in their 3 wins, they were down 14 to the Skins, and barely held off the Eagles in their second meeting.

Sighting that as a reason Dungy's a hypocrite is stretching things a bit too far, don't you think? Vastly. My 7 year-old could not; you and he have THAT in common. I mistakenly forgot to update opponent adjustments when I wrote last week's Quick Reads, which would have put Brady eighth instead of 11th through last week. If that's what you like hearing, then I'll say this: "You're a really smart person!" by Jacob Stevens (not verified) // Dec 31, 2007 - 7:16pm. Can your offensive minded team score at the end of the game to win? But with a remade pass rush and Tyrann Mathieu peaking down the stretch, Spagnuolo's complex scheme was essential to the Chiefs' championship run.

by BadgerT1000 (not verified) // Jan 01, 2008 - 11:09am. Tom Brady is the first quarterback to ever earn more than 200 DPAR in a season.

I haven't updated for the last week of this season yet, but check out how the Pats compare to other teams of all time (I've rated all teams after each game going back to 1933). Happy New year and I can't wait until this weekend. Beaten ALL the teams that they clearly should have beaten including the Jets, SF, Atl, Miami [The Miami win was a bit sloppy as was the Jets win].

Even so, I'd prefer to hear it from an original source--Fisher or Dungy.

by Starshatterer (not verified) // Jan 01, 2008 - 3:24pm.

Leaguewide, how many teams that were tailored for the previous environment have switched to the newer model? If I were a Colts fan, I would, however, be concerned that Indy is going into a playoff game, probably against the Chargers, 3 weeks removed from any type of legitimate competition. I mean if the predictions were consistently low or high that would be helpful. Wait, I made a mistake in 98, please replace hookers with crackers. Spagnuolo entered 2019 having coached a 31st- or 32-ranked defense in three of his previous four seasons. They play well (ish), they just don't score points or stop the other team from scoring? by Tom (not verified) // Jan 02, 2008 - 4:43am. The cynic in me applauds Dungy for "resting his starters" and playing sleight of hand. 133. I am glad last year's SB win by Indy did not circumvent the Pats (if, say, SD had won and then played in the AFCC). 137: He did not have such a role in Cincinnati, with defense-oriented Marvin Lewis running the show. Most notably the Ravens were a very impotent offense and still won the SB behind their defense and special teams.

I just did what I said I wouldn’t do — talk about the Pats and their fans.

Its most recent impression -- Raheem Mostert's Terrell Davis impersonation in the NFC title game -- clouded the Packers' 13-3 season.

They actually won 4 games with a negative differential, including a -4 (Chi), -2 (Wash), -2 (Atl), -1 (Phi). #42: Now, if we could all be drunk when we read Raiderjoe's posts, they would all make sense. by Bobman (not verified) // Jan 03, 2008 - 4:38pm. And, then he went 26-6 for the last two years, putting him at 104-40 in the regular season Schwartz's 4-3 scheme has been a hit in Tennessee, Buffalo and Philly, with both the Eagles and Titans earning No. Not to mention crybaby Rivers led two TD drives (and they gave up the winner in OT) against them in the 4th after playing terribly through 3 quarters. The Buccaneers & Giants D/STs headline our Fantasy Football Defense Rankings for Week 7 of the 2020 NFL season.
