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.
The Ravens D single-handedly won them a Super Bowl. A defense that can win like that for a team is not good, they are great.

I gave the defense a C (not an F) becuase I think they are average, not great and not bad. I guess you can call that good or average I dont really care what word you use.
