I know this statistic - which is based on yardage yielded. Yet, our defense got few sacks and few turnovers and points for their team.
In the NFL you've got to be able to generate turnovers and points on the defense. We could not; nor could not stop the best QB.
This justification is why this team can't improve past 8-9 wins because for a decade we've drafted WR and DB, or used our FA money to chase aged players. Our overall win-loss statistics shows the result of that philosophy regardless of the coaches.

If our offense would have been average, we could have won more than 9 wins. Arizona didn't have a top 10 defense, yet they are in the SB. We had a very good defense, but did not have the offense to compliment it. AZ has a very good offense, and their defense got better and were able to beat all these teams during the playoffs.
