varaven45 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 After ten games, here's where we stack up (points wise) : Offense (scoring): 26.1 ppg; tied for 6th with Dallas, Pittsburgh Defense : 18.1 ppg (behind Detroit 15.8, KC 16.8) In terms of offensive yards gained, we are Passing 8thRunning 4th Meanwhile, in terms of yards allowed, we are: Passing 31stRushing 6th Its no surprise we are 31st in yards allowed. Talk about an Achilles heel ! Maybe this newfangled, makeshift secondary can make a difference. NO will be a great litmus test. As an aside, while listening to ESPN, Mike and Mike mentioned that, according to Elias Sports, the QB with the most road playoff victories (with 6) isnone other than our beloved Joe Flacco. I thought many of our Joe lovers would appreciate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurfbell Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 They may not be #1 but they have still been exceptional. In 2000 the Ravens D was #2 but they were amazing that yr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) I would not be surprised if Brees throws for 450 yards against us. I just don't see us winning that game. Edited November 11, 2014 by Spen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
