it does matter where they rank lol the defense held the steelers to lesser points then the avg. the offense gained lesser points then they avg. your ranks puts you where you belong. your rank is based on how you preformed. a defense that holds the opponent to 4 FGs on 4 drives does a better job then an offense who scores 1 TD on 4 drives. you can twist stuff however you want , bottomline other then the denver game the offense is the bigger reason we lost games. the defense lost more players then the offense so common sense would say they should spent more on that side..... also the defense lost the 2 best players of all times at their position, a starting CB, a starting MLB, a starting safety. 5 new starters out of 11 and you want them to be elite. is it realistic to expect them to preform at a higher level then the offense? here is a very good fact: TDs are worth more points then punts and FGs another good fact: scoring TD increases your chances of winning a game instead of punting and kicking FGs another intresting fact: when you score TDs instead of punting or kicking FG , you dont have to rely on the defense to close a game out.. defense holds opponent to 19 points while offense only manages 16 points and its the freakin defense fault lol. only 5 teams avg less then 19 points a game on offense thats 5 out of 32. just to give you an idea about how impressive it actually is to hold a team to just 19 points.
