What I hope to see is roughly top half in scoring, ypc and ypa, assuming the offense continues to score at the pace we've become accustomed to. That is to say, they're going to give up total yardage, because they're going to be on the field a lot due to the clip at which the O scores, but if they can lower the per play averages allowed, and force more punts, it'll make a significant difference in the outcome of games. Even as little as one less possession for the opponent and one more for our offense, per game, would be big. Basically anything above 20 in those 3 areas, and we'll be very, very hard to keep up with, much less beat.

Fact is teams will be forced to shoot out with us. Teams will gamble and take chances against our D that they wouldn't against other teams because they know they'll need to score at least 26+ to win. This will lead to our DB's having to play the deep ball more often than other D's, getting P.I more than other teams, thus extending drives. The defense very well could be better, but i don't think it's going to show on a stat rankings list.

They can't possibly be worse than last year.
Right? |

I'm begging for karmic retribution when I say this, but I don't see how they could possibly be worse than last year. They've upgraded the personnel at every level of the defense and they've purportedly gotten rid of the read and react anchor that was hung around the franchise's neck for most of the last 20 years.
Guess we'll see. |

15-20th D and NO ONE, not even the Pat's refs can stop us from winning it all!

A few injuries can change everything.
But that's true for everyone. Just ask the Jags o-line. That's going to color the game in some interesting ways. If our defense dominates them up front, it really isn't all that impressive, because they were hurt. But if we don't dominate them then the season's already in jeopardy. It's going to be difficult for there to be an overwhelmingly positive outcome unless we shut them out or something wacky. But even then... Weirdly, my head's been stuck on a 42-3 score all week. I have no idea where it's coming from. |

We might be worse on pressuring the QB quite honestly, but Safety will be way better. DB probably about the same. LB hopefully is better just because of scheme.
But we did lose two great pass rushers, our best corner, a pro bow safety (even though he didn't play much). |
