Good find. Part of this is because our O holds onto the ball decently, IE sustained drives, though. Whereas its more impressive from Den, with their O struggling.

BackinBlack Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-first-downs-per-game Hmm this shows teams have 21 first downs against us per game? So bottom 10 again. What qualifies as a first down allowed? Does it not count the first, first down of a drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackinBlack Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-first-downs-per-play Also bottom 8 in first down per play?@NCOUGHMAN, what first down stat are you seeing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackinBlack Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 also, that is heading into week 6, so after the first 5 weeks of the season. The site I provided is up to date, So based off that, any reason why our D has regressed so much in all these rankings? 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackinBlack Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 LOL cough I am so confused, that site you sent is showing me non of the stats you were quoting lol. It shows we allowed 106 first downs, to Dens 90 . . . Says it is heading into week 6, so old stats, and constantly shows our D as bottom 10. Where did it show anything you quoted?

Geezy Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 F the stats, watch the games. Defense hasn’t been good. Offense is beginning to roll a little bit but needs to be more consistent. We need someone outside of Crosby to step up and make plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A stat like first downs allowed is essentially meaningless. If you gave up a TD everyplay, you lead the league in allowing 0 first downs.
