PUP. Bradie James and Tim Dobbins are probably going to be the guys going forward with Mister Alexander and Daryl Sharpton possibly getting time (Once Sharpton comes off of PUP). The problem with Sharpton is he hasn't played football in a long long time. |

Agreed, guy just can't stay healthy. First it was the quad, then the hip - these are injuries that have the risk of compouding upon one another, only making the whole package worse.
I really don't hold much hope to see Sharpton make a big impact. This year, or next year. The injuries he has are pretty significant.

Why? The Bears aren't the best qdefense in the NFL, and that its what this thread is about. |
Please explain how anybody is better, I can immediately shoot down your argument w/ little effort.

The 49ers allow .6 less points per game and the Seahawks allow .2 less points per game. The Seahawks allow 32.6 less yards every game and the 49ers allow 28.6 yards per game.
I think it's incredibly close between the 49ers, Seahawks, Texans, and Bears and while I don't feel any team has done enough to establish itself as the best defense at this point. I think it's obvious the Seahawks don't belong in the conversation because I hate them, but I think in a few weeks we will have a more definitive number 1 (unless it's the Seahawks because I hate them). |

The Bears and 49ers are both listed as having allowed 6 total TDs, however 1 of the Bears "receiving TDs against" is actually a fake FG by the Packers. So in reality that accounts for the 3 pt difference in points scored. Even if you want to disregard that, there is no way you can w/ a straight face argue that those 3 points over 5 games is better than the 9 add'l sacks, 9 add'l TOs, the 5 more TDs scored, a better 3rd down %, and a QBR of 16 fewer points.
Next....

the 49ers 'gave up' a kickoff runback td to green bay with a clear block in the back.
road goes both ways, see? |

But that kickoff runback doesn't count against the defense, that's already logged as a ST TD. The fake FG is logged as an offensive TD (TD Reception) even though neither the offense nor the defense was on the field.

And to your point I have no problem w/ anyone saying the 49ers are the best Defense, I have a huge problem w/ people acting like the Bears aren't in the conversation. How on earth can you lead 3 major defensive statistics, be top 5 in all others and not be considered elite? That makes no sense.

I'd give my vote to the Niners.
The Cardinals, Texans, Seahawks, Bears, and Eagles are in the conversation though. After that I see a pretty big drop off. |

The Dolphins do NOT have the best defense and shouldn't be in the conversation for best, however; they do belong in the very good category some people have been making. Best run D in the league right now has to get them in that category.
