  1. Greatest Defense in the NFL

    I almost forgot the "Super Bowl Shuffle" is not a good song. IMHO That is based on purely a music and performance criteria. I will ignore that the team recorded the video before the won the Super Bowl. (I know they backed it up so it's confidence not cockiness.) But i don't like that. I think this team did it much better:
  2. Greatest Defense in the NFL

    You won't believe me, but I posted what I did then found a video that agreed with me. It was not difficult there were a couple of videos, but I picked the one I did because it's a Chicago Fan's Youtube channel. (Chisports) Anyway I did not realize I could not mention eras just single seasons. My bad I guess for breaking the rules. Per your request I asked AI what are the top 5 statistically best defenses in NFL history. Below is the result, it uses DVOA. If you are not familiar DVOA stands for Defense Adjusted Over Average. It scores every result for every single play for a season. It adjusts for down, distance, field position, score, and strength of opponent. Then it compares it to the league average. It also adjusts for era, it is by far the most detailed and comprehensive metric available today. 1. 1991 Philadelphia Eagles — Best Defensive DVOA Ever DVOA: –36.7% (ranked #1 all-time) Led NFL in total yards, passing yards, rushing yards allowed, sacks, and takeaways. Allowed <4.0 yards per play, one of only three teams since 1978. Historically unmatched balance: elite pass + elite run defense. 2. 1969 Minnesota Vikings — Lowest Yards Per Play Ever Recorded DVOA: –34.4% (#2 all-time) Allowed 3.42 yards per play, lowest since 1950. Allowed just 12 touchdowns all season. Defensive line (Eller, Page, Marshall, Larsen) all made the Pro Bowl. 3. 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Modern Era Pass Defense Standard DVOA: –32.1% (#3 all-time) Led NFL in points allowed, yards allowed, interceptions, and defensive TDs. Dominated playoffs, shutting down the league’s top offenses en route to a Super Bowl win. 4. 1986 Chicago Bears — Even Better Than ’85 by Some Metrics DVOA: –31.7% (#4 all-time) Allowed fewer yards per play than the 1985 team. Top-tier pass and run defense despite injuries and offensive regression. 5. 1985 Chicago Bears — Most Dominant Single-Season Playoff Run Ever DVOA: –29.5% (#5 all-time) Allowed 198 points all season. Playoffs: Allowed 10 total points in three games, including two shutouts. Buddy Ryan’s 46 defense changed NFL defensive strategy permanently. 📊 Why These Five Rank Above All Others These defenses consistently appear at the top because they combine: Elite efficiency (DVOA) Historic yards-per-play suppression Takeaway dominance Playoff performance Era-adjusted difficulty Other legendary units—like the 1976 Steelers, 2000 Ravens, 2013 Seahawks, and 2015 Broncos—are close, but statistically fall just outside the top five based on DVOA and yards-per-play metrics. For fun I also asked about best defensive teams era's. (I know it's not the question) Below is the results. It did not use the same amount of years for each "era", but I will accept the results. Below is a deep, structured breakdown of why these eras statistically rise above the rest — using multi‑year consistency, points allowed, yardage dominance, turnovers, and postseason performance. 🛡️ 1. 1970s Steelers — The most complete multi‑year defensive dynasty ever Takeaway: The Steel Curtain is the only defense to anchor four Super Bowl titles while finishing top‑5 in scoring defense six times in a decade. Key stats (1972–1979): #1 scoring defense: 1972, 1974, 1976 Allowed 138 points in 1976 — 8.6 per game, lowest of the Super Bowl era Hall of Famers: Greene, Lambert, Ham, Blount Turnovers: Averaged 37 per season during peak years Playoff dominance: Allowed zero touchdowns in 1976 postseason Why they rank #1: No other defense combines longevity, championships, and statistical dominance at this level. 🐻 2. 1985–1989 Bears — The most overwhelming single-season peak + multi-year elite play Takeaway: The ’85 Bears are widely considered the greatest single-season defense ever, but the era lasted longer than people remember. Key stats (1984–1989): #1 scoring defense: 1985, 1986 #1 total defense: 1985, 1986, 1987 Allowed 198 points in 1985 — 12.4 per game Playoff destruction (1985): 10–0 vs Giants, 24–0 vs Rams Hall of Famers: Singletary, Dent, Hampton Why they rank #2: The 46 defense changed the league, and the Bears led the NFL in defense for three straight seasons, something almost no team has done. 🟣 3. 2000–2006 Ravens — The modern era’s most statistically suffocating defense Takeaway: The 2000 Ravens allowed the fewest points in a 16‑game season ever, and the era stayed elite for half a decade. Key stats (2000–2006): 165 points allowed in 2000 — 10.3 per game 4 seasons top‑5 scoring defense Turnovers: Averaged 34 per season Hall of Famers: Lewis, Reed, Suggs (likely), Woodson (2000 season) Why they rank #3: The Ravens’ peak is arguably the best of the salary‑cap era, and their longevity keeps them above other modern defenses. 💚 4. 2009–2015 Seahawks — The most dominant pass defense of the 21st century Takeaway: The Legion of Boom is the only team in NFL history to lead the league in scoring defense four straight seasons. Key stats (2012–2015): #1 scoring defense: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 #1 total defense: 2013, 2014 Historic pass defense: Allowed the fewest passing yards in the NFL for 3 straight years Playoff dominance: Held Peyton Manning’s #1 offense to 8 points in SB XLVIII Why they rank #4: No other team has ever led the NFL in scoring defense four consecutive seasons. 💜 5. 1969–1973 Vikings — The best pre-merger defensive era Takeaway: The Purple People Eaters were the NFL’s most statistically dominant defense before the merger. Key stats (1969–1973): #1 scoring defense: 1969, 1970, 1971 #1 total defense: 1969, 1970 Hall of Famers: Page, Eller, Marshall (borderline), Krause Turnovers: Averaged 40+ per season during peak Why they rank #5: Three straight years as the #1 scoring defense is extremely rare, and they were the league’s most feared unit of the early 70s.
  3. FIFA World Cup 2026!!!

    Apparently FIFA's 2025 Peace Prize winner called FIFA president Gianni Infantino and asked him to review the red card given to Folarin Balogun. I understand the appeal was based on slow motion replay used which is against FIFA rules. (Not sure why that would be illegal) Then the red card was reversed. Now I am not arguing that the red card was deserved or not. Just stating that it was reversed after the phone call. (A perfect call by the way) From what I understand reversing a red card is very rare in World Cup history. I'm not saying anything shady happened, but I will point out that FIFA has been accused of being corrupt before. What I think is the best part, Folarin Balogun is a US citizen through birthright citizenship.
  4. Greatest Defense in the NFL

    Like I said, for one season the 1985 Bears defense were the best. (Is that better, pretty good seemed to trigger you) But for an era the Steelers defense dominated the 1970's. (At least 1974-1979) Now it's hard to compare era's, the 1970's favored defenses more. But I would say the Bears dominated a season, (More than any singe season in history) the Steelers dominated a decade.
  5. If a provider is inebriated during our time together. I can understand a provider needing to be a littled liquored up to see me, but I think it's unprofessional to be wasted.
  6. Greatest Defense in the NFL

    Not that your opinon is not valid, just curious why you don't like the NFL? Is the CTE cover up? The fact the league did not pay taxes for a long time. (They do now) Too woke? Billionaire owners, but stadiums are mostly funded by the public? As for the topic, yeah I guess for a single season the 1985 Bears were pretty good. But for an era the Steelers in the 70's had a very strong defense. Also very underrated the 1977 Atlanta Falcons.
  7. House cleaner? Could be way?

    This post reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Jerry hires a cleaning lady and ends up dating her. He would book her to clean his apartment, but when she comes over they have sex then leaves without cleaning. But she still takes the money which lead Jerry to wonder what he was paying for exactly.
  8. I have had the pleasure of meeting Gena a few times. She is a beautiful person inside and out. Don't hestitate booking this YL.
  9. What’s wrong with the math here?

    I see, if one hour is $500, then half of that would be $250. So one hour ($500) + a half hour ($250) = $750 That would mean at the rate of $500/hr that would break down to $8.33 per minute. So theoretically you could book 47 minutes for $391.51. I'm kidding of course, I personally would not have noticed this. I prefer 2 hour appointments, and I don't look at the rates that are more or less time. Unless the provider does not offer 2 hours I will look at 90 minutes or an hour. (not interested in anything less than an hour)
  10. I have seen her, she is legit and very sweet.
  11. is this reviewable??

    Anything is reviewable, but it depends on what you are reviewing. If it's her pantomine skills I think she did okay. But $50 for a three pack of toothbrushes is a rip-off. This video reminded me of this Nuggets fan.
  12. The Third Star

    Too long for me to read, but I guess it depends which game you are talking about. The third star in last night's Bruins Stars game was Elias Lindholm.
  13. Price of Gasoline

    I filled up today $3.49 per gallon SE Denver. Then a couple of miles later I saw $3.19 per gallon. (D'oh)

    Happy International Women's Day to all the ladies here, and around the world.
  15. Let the witch hunts begin 😱

    Epstein bombshell as nine-year-old victim and 'senior government official' are revealed I do agree that some people who don't dereve it will catch strays. But I believe anybody associated with Epstein needs to be prosecuted.
