Bears best defense ever? (1 Viewer)

[PrestonV20]

Do you think that the bears will break the 2000 Baltimore Raven records for least points allowed (178 i think)?

 

[Chase Stuart]

It's 165, but I vote yes.

Look at their schedule, they certainly have a shot. Still dosent make them the best defense ever, just the best defense ever to play in the bad NFC North.

Yeah sorry I didnt mean best defense ever, just in term of least points allowed. That steeler team back in the day with like 8 pro bowlers is probably the best ever. They gave 28 points in the final 9 games or something like that.

My vote goes to the Gritz Blitz. They hold the record for fewest points allowed per game, and unlike these other stellar defenses (who mostly had mediocre-to-good offenses), the Falcons had a RIDICULOUSLY horrible offense, which meant they faced a lot of short fields as the offense couldn't keep up their end of the field-position battle.

Divsion you play in does not hold as much weight as it used to since there are only 4 teams per now.

That Division offers up nothing as does that conference for the most part.I'll take it a step further, if the Bears were in the AFC we wouldnt be seeing 5 Bears threads every day.

 

[TitusIII]

Because the AFC is soooooo much better than the NFC. Even though the NFC is winning the head-to-head match-ups at this point...

The Bears dominating defensive line/linebackers/offensive line is soooooo overated....they like wouldn't be that good if they had to play the Steelers.

So you're pimping up the AFC which houses 8 of the 9 lowest scoring offenses per game?Good stuff.

 

[Gold Plated Nails]

The reason those offenses in the AFC are scoring less is becuase they play the better defenses in the AFC.

You Bears guys crack me up, great the Bears on pace to shatter the low scoring record. So are the Broncos, the Chargers, the Ravens, even the falcons blah blah blha, do you see a bunch of threads about those teams as BEST EVER!!! Check back in Week 17, its a long season.

Chicago 7.2 -- 115 Pts

Denver 8.5 -- 136 Pts

San Diego 9.0 -- 144 Pts

Baltimore 9.2 -- 147 Pts

 

[NatronIsMean]

Oh geez, this is like arguing college divisions. How f'in gay. Give it a rest, Charger. Lets just stack the potential super bowl teams and you let me know how lop-sided it looks:

Bears - Colts

Eagles - Patriots

Seahawks - Bengals

Falcons - Chargers

Cowboys - Broncos

Saints - Ravens

Giants - Steelers

Boy, looks like the AFC in a landslide.

 

[Debeucci]

Pfft...

There's always going to be haters out there.

Here's a news flash for you.

The 72 Dolphins had an easy schedule.

If you check the past ten superbowl teams...you will notice that the majority of them all had relatively easier schedules. This is not a new argument.

But any given sunday...

The reason why the bears have so many best team ever threads is because when was the last time (in your lifetime) that you've seen a team #1 in the league with Most points scored and Least points allowed?

So ####, give the team their props and move on instead of being a hater.

 

[David Yudkin]

2000 Ravens = 165 points allowed = 10.31 ppg

1977 Falcons = 129 points allowed = 9.21 ppg

I doubt the Bears will only allow a smidge over 9 ppg on the season, especially if they clinch a playoff spot early and play the "B Team" much like they did last year (add gave up 34 points in the process).

You gotta be kiddin me

Bears.. Bears... Bears... Bears... Bears... Bears....

 

[Gold Plated Nails]

No other teams fans are running around posting daily threads like the Bear ones, and yes many teams are playing well on defense also. That is my point, not hating, more like not getting overly excited with just 1/4 of the season played, and in the Bears case, against a bunch of bad teams.

Thanks for keeping us in check. Greatly appreciated.

I think that it is possible, however it is awful early to say that. But if you look at their schedule it is very soft. As a Bears fan I will say I enjoyed watching the 85 Bears defense better. Maybe it is my imagination, but I think that defense was better. That was a power defense. This is a speed defense.

 

[Chase Stuart]

Bears need to allow 11.7 PPG for the remaining 11 games. Chicago allowed 11.2 PPG last year through 15 games, and then rested their players in week 16. Chicago has allowed 7.2 PPG so far this year.

I'd say the Bears are more likely than not going to break the record. This offense is worlds better than last year's, and the defense is a little better too.

 

[hamster_13]

I think the Panthers-Bears game is a shootout. 31-27, ish.

Now if they actually played the Panthers this year.........................

 

[mggoilers]

Bears defense is that much better because their offense.

Ahman Green, Ahman Green ran for a 110 yards on this defense. I think most primary backs are averaging around 4.0 ypc against the Bears. They are being forced to abandon the run early. the Seattle game was an abberration.

Maybe he means when the Bears play the Panthers in the playoffs when regular season accolades mean squat. Or, maybe he's just clueless?

i meant the panthers-ravens. Also, wrong thread

 

[GRIDIRON ASSASSIN]

They could have beat the Ravens record last year, but the starters didn't play most of Week 17.

The only record I care about is winning the Super Bowl.

If they go undefeated or break any other records, that's a nice feather in the cap - but ultimately the only thing that matters a the Super Bowl victory.

And most of his yardage was in garbage time when the defense was trying to preserve their shutout and do it AT Green Bay.When the game mattered (in the first half prior to the lopsided score), Green had 10 carries for 39 yards:

Last time I checked 10 carries for 39 yards is right around 4 ypc like he said...

The 110 yards was an abberation though. That was my point.

 

[Chaos Commish]

It's 165, but I vote yes.

Agreed. I doubt they win the Super Bowl, but I'd be surprised if the give up over 150 in the regular season.

NO defense compares to the Bears this year.They've given up the fewest points, and many of the other teams have had a week off already.Once the Bears offense puts 10 pts on the board, the defense pins it's ears back and attacks.

Of course..they are not the best ever..but damm chitting good in 2006..have them in 5 of my 6 leagues!

 

[juveduke]

Do these scoring defense stats only include points given up by the defense? i.e. do special teams and offensive turnovers resulting in TDs count as points against?

So, isn't 10-39 about 4.0 yards per carry?

No team compares? Uhm, the Bolts have the #1 Run defense, the #1 pass defense, and are on pace to set the season low points allowed. Are they better then the Bears? Probably not, but to say no teams can even compare is laughable at this stage in the season.

And who have the Chargers beaten? Tennesee, Oakland, Pittsburg? There something to hoot and holler about! The teams the Chargers have actually beaten have a combined record of 1-12.You have quite some nerve talking about the Bears "easy" schedule there. The Bears have actually beaten teams with winning records (Vikings, Seattle). You really should do your research before you make any more of a fool of yourself.

I'm not the one making posts saying the Chargers are the greatest defense ever. The Chargers for all I know may just have an above average defense, its too early to tell. This thread is about the Bears being the best ever, something I find funny this early in the season. Feel free to disagree.

The Chargers aren't the best defense ever and noone has ever claimed them to be. Might be a good time to take your own advice.

And where exactly was I the one claiming the 2006 Bears defense to be the "best ever"?

Look at their schedule, they certainly have a shot. Still dosent make them the best defense ever, just the best defense ever to play in the bad NFC North.

Divsion you play in does not hold as much weight as it used to since there are only 4 teams per now.

That Division offers up nothing as does that conference for the most part.I'll take it a step further, if the Bears were in the AFC we wouldnt be seeing 5 Bears threads every day.

Yeah, your team is so awesome that you're making Antonio Gates and Ladanian Tomlinson look mediocre thus far.

Both of these guys have put up top 5 numbers based on their position with only four games played. And what does LT and Gates have to do with the Bears' or even the Chargers' defense?

Wow. I know it's really hard for some people to keep up with the times and accept change, but the Bears are the best team in the NFL and would likely be 5-0 no matter what. I can't wait till we get a chance to paste some of the AFC darlings. This is really just getting ridiculous. The Bears are a great team this year. Get used to it. Thus far their schedule has been harder than San Diego's and Cincy's.

Well, if you wanna talk defense the teams have the same points allowed and the Bears have played one more game. So, if the Chargers can shut out the niners (yet another tough opponent in their killer schedule that will have 3 of their 5 games played include games against the Raiders, the Titans, and now the niners. Man, you guys sure are playing some monsters) they will enjoy exactly one day of equal footing with the Bears.You know, I've never had an NFL team that I really hated, not even the Packers so much, but I think the Chargers just became it. Here's to a nice San Fran win

The guy who posted what I was replying to was clearly a victim of the irrational exuberance typical of Chargers fans right now. I just find it funny is all, especially given that their team has gone 12 years without winning a playoff game.

 

[Power Monster]

^Add to the fact that the Chargers have a below .500 all time winning record. Nice powder blue uniforms and great weather. Rumors of sushi bars at the stadium. Tough football!

check the 2000 ravens roster then youll see what the greatest defense ever was

really no disputing that. Their star power alone was ridiculous, but that's why they could only keep it together for a few seasons.
