I was reading a debate on a different board about which team has the best defense in football and I just wondered where do the Bills fit in. They are definitely top 5 but I really think one can make an argument that the Bills have the best defense in football. Just look at some of the rankings from last year:
Total Yds/Gm - 2
Yds/Play - 1
First Downs/Gm - T4
Passing Yds/Gm - 3
Opp. Comp. %- T1
INT - 2
Sacks - T3
Rushing Yds/Gm - 7
Yds/Rush - T2
Pts allowed/Gm - 8
Tds allowed - 3
Turnovers forced - 1
And I know we lost Pat which will hurt but I think Edwards and Anderson can do an adequate job filling in. Plus one has to remember that 3/4 of the year last season we were missing 1 of our 2 starting safeties so having them both healthy should help as well.
The only team that compares with us statistically is Pittsburgh but personally I think we are better. Here would be my top 5:
Buffalo
Pittsburgh
Baltimore
Philadelphia
New England
Honorable Mention to Washington
Thoughts?
