I'm worried about the Vikings more than Baltimore. See you next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do I not believe that haha Without looking it up I think the 10 Chargers had the number 1 offense and defense and yet still missed the playoffs. I'm almost positive that was a thing. I definitely remember them being talked about as a historically bad ST/ unlucky team about that time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Bolts from the Blue: -Week 1: Gave up 160 punt return yards -Week 2: Blocked punt -Week 3: Allowed TWO kickoff return TDs -Week 5: Two more blocked punts -Week 6: A classic missed FG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Of course, there are four outdoor winter games left so the potential for further shenanigans is high and this Packers unit could easily take that title away from the 2010 Chargers. At least this team is all but guaranteed to make the playoffs...where hopefully the awful special teams don't do them in.

They are a team that stockpiles draft picks and their depth shows on their consistently good ST. We use injuries as an excuse for our inconsistencies, they find a way to get it done. As pointed out, a big part of that rating is Crosby vs Tucker but I’d bet their return/coverage units are better. What gives? We have joked that we have traded cursed ST for blessed QB and sometimes I think it could be true. The opposite would be the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a comment today.....cant say if it came off the TV or was somebody's podcast.....that Tampa has one of the worst ST units last year................ I guess also having a close it out defense can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess also having a close it out defense can help. Not getting DPI calls while mugging WRs and the other team getting them for running too hard with TB’s wideouts also helps. That D front at full strength is tough, though. Even good running teams get shut down. Got to have enough time to air it out and then get them on their heels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're actually #17 at rush DVOA this season. They just tend to play in a division where the rushing attacks are generally bad. Even the Saints have been below average this year. The few teams that have tried to run on them (Eagles, Colts) have been able to. Also Khalil Herbert somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also important, they still beat Ind and Phi. Going against that defensive front can be tough sledding, they haven’t been fully healthy but Vea and JPP are both back, I believe. We might just have to find out in a month or so, hope it’s in Lambeau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
