The Redskins defense allowed: (1) Miami's offense to score 13 points, when other defenses allow them to score 21 points; (2) Philly's offense to score 12 points, when other defenses allow them to score 20 points; (3) the NYG's offense to score 24 points, when other defenses allow them to score 25 points; (4) Detroit's offense to score 3 points, when other defenses allow them to score 25 points; (5) Green Bay's offense to score 10 points, when other defenses allow them to score 24 points; (6) Arizona's offense to score 19 points, when other defenses allow them to score 20; and (7) the Jets' offense to score 13 points, when other defenses allow them to score 18. In short, the Redskins defense are holding opposing offenses to about
9 fewer points per game than they score against other defenses.
I know you can't deal with stats, but I want to hear you come up with a persuasive argument as to why this team's defense is "average." If the Redskins defense is average, every other defense sucks goat testicles.

In the end, they let the Jets score a whopping 13 points. Do you really expect the defense to single-handedly win games? Well if that is your measure of whether a defense is good, you'll never be happy.

Yes, if I personally hold them to a high standard, they will be a perennial winner. I, as a fan, can will a team to victory. I didn't know that I had such Jedi powers.
