Like, would Buffalo be 2nd in defensive DVOA had the Rams played a competent game against them? 4 games in, that means the Rams are 25% of the Bills ranking right now. Have the Bills and 49ers helped make LAR's offense look bad, or has LAR's bad offense helped make the Bills and 49ers look good? Honestly, it's probably some of both. But a high end offense should still be able to get something going against even top defenses. There should absolutely be concerns about how they've looked so far. Top defenses tend to be most of what you have to go through at the end of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top defenses tend to be most of what you have to go through at the end of the year. This is one of the reasons why early DVOA rankings in the season are always rated based on FOs preseason rankings until there is large enough sample size (i.e it used to be re-cacluated after 4 games when it was 16 game season--1/4 of the season). Right now, it's based on 30% preseason expectations and 70% season performance. This will change after next week and revisions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't you the one who started this rant by saying that last year doesn't matter? So if anything, if it's including preseason expectations, isn't that even worse then?

For two, Preseason is not last year and only a small portion of it is factored in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
