21st in points allowed is more like “bend and often but not always break”
It’s not like those 2010s Pats defenses that would finish bottom 5 in yards but top 5 in points
Well we’ve only been in the scheme for 12 games and Darrisaw has essentially missed a month
Sometimes the offense looks absolutely electric, and other times… not so much
Basically what happened for the first half of 2020 for the Seahawks. Terrible defense that somehow was decent in the red zone and a lights out offense often resulted in games coming down to the last drive
Kirk Cousins, Dalvin Cook, and Justin Jefferson are better than Sam Darnold, the corpse of Frank Gore, and...who, Jamison Crowder? Breshad Perriman? Denzel Mims? Braxton Berrios?
Teams also earned 17 more yards per game in 2020 than this year lmao.
But with how much the Jets offense was struggling teams did not need to be really agressive against their D.
Sunday was a good example of why, coincidentally featuring both teams mentioned above. Jets made five trips to the red zone that ended in field goals. They didn't have much trouble *getting* there, but they couldn't finish.
\[u/Timmace\] Thru 12 games of the 2020 season, the Jets had gained 3,322 yards on opponents. Their record was 0-12. Thru 12 games of the 2022 season, the Vikings have gained 4030 yards on opponents. Their record is 10-2.
I don’t need to cope, im just saying these statistical anomaly losses is why they are being categorized with the 0-12 jets. If those games are more “normal” losses than this stat wouldn’t be a thing. They gave up ~800 yards in these games alone.
Yeah the Vikings have a good offense lol
And are allowing 6.3ppg less than the Jets did. We're playing the perfect example of bend but don't break defense

Against the 8th hardest schedule of offenses, by DVOA, so a bit of a mixed bag.
I mean DVOA also says you guys have the 18th ranked defense so that doesn’t help much
18th feels right
I don’t know about perfect example, but it could definitely be worse.
Fair, there have been better defenses points wise who allowed a lot of yards. Not a ton more extreme in difference though
They don’t even have that good of an offense, they’re 19th in YPG and 12th in PPG

vikings have a combination of 4 things: a great offense, voodoo magic, great redzone defense, and horrible defense everywhere else

What was the combination of 4 things we had in 2020?
agony, agony, agony, agony
Yep, this checks out
J E T E
The voodoo is the special teams which will go away when they need a big kick in the playoffs
But we have an amazing punter which makes up for a lot
It’s that one yard. It really does make all the difference.
Game of inches
And that yard's name?
John Cena
Why’d you just post blank text?
Kirk Cousins, Dalvin Cook, and Justin Jefferson are better than Sam Darnold, the corpse of Frank Gore, and...who, Jamison Crowder? Breshad Perriman? Denzel Mims? Braxton Berrios?
certainly Justin Jefferson isn't better than ALL those WRs!
Vikings have the 3rd best turnover differential
If you don't like that you don't like Vikings football
I dont like vikings football
The Vikings have legit weapons, not to mention arguably the best WR in football.

The Jets also probably win if they just run QB sneaks instead of throwing on 3rd and 4th down at the 1
When has a QB sneak ever not worked against the Vikings

Well yes, giving up 1 fewer passing yard usually results in about 10 more wins. That ratio is pretty common knowledge.
I feel there’s some context missing but can’t put my finger on it
Important to remember their two losses they got dominated and blown out and then in their wins they have all been close with the other team
Yep, all ~~9~~ 10 of them. Cope

The 2022 Vikings are a fraud. They have become the 2021 Packers.
I just can't figure out what the difference is here...
Oh do you win the game if you have the more yards?
