Allowing 135 rushing yards and 260 passing yards a game while allowing 23.8 points per?? That's 23 more rushing and 53 more passing yards per game compared to last year. We also have allowed the most 10+ play drives in the NFL. As Keyshawn would say... "Come on, man!" I am not saying we'd have been top 10... why are you jumping from 32nd to top 10? I'd be happy with 15th right now. We'll just disagree on that one.

32nd is a really poor estimation of where our defense is right now. It implies that Houston, Jacksonville, Dallas, Denver, and Seattle are better right now on that side of the ball. They aren't.
I'd say, with our injuries and all, we're right about as strong of a defense as New England is. They don't rank very well either. 27th I think, by total yards against. I think that's a good estimation of where our defense is by production.
