We didn't stop RBs, we didn't stop TE's and we didn't stop #2 WRs. Whats so bad about knowing where our problems lie so we can appropriately fix them?

Yes, that's true and I'm not turning a blind eye to stats, per se.

That is a valid stat you pulled, but the defense as a whole ranked at the bottom of the league. We sucked when it was time to stop the pass and we sucked when it was time to stop the run. To me that's a 'nitpick' stat.

I think a better question, in my mind, is how well did we do stopping teams on third down conversions? How many passing touchdowns did we give up inside the twenty? I'm not asking you to pull it up, but do you see where I'm going?

Another thing, in my football ignorance, I still can't my mind around exactly what is a number one as opposed to a number two receiver.
A team is going to use the best option available and try to create mismatches. Reggie Wayne torched us, yet he's considered a number two.
