I just watched the Packers drive down the field, score a TD and go for and get a two point conversion.
Just thinking out loud here, but if a team scores a TD and two point conversion on it's opening drive, doesn't that sort of force their opponent to go for two on their next early scoring drive?

As long as Plaschke isn't one of themI would characterize it as being more "sober or somber" like than gloom & doom....but LA does have better writers.

You are not giving context to the 100 ypg on the ground,stat...Complicated Williams defense started to click after the 8th game last year, because the team started to get it. It would be fait to look at games 9-16 ypg on the ground...Which I think that I will...
Ok...from me looking at stats from games 9-16, Rams opponents had 189 rushes for 675 yards gained. The Yards per carry was 3.57 per carry average....84.38 yards allowed per game. 4 TD's allowed on the ground..
Is 84.38 yardage allowed per carry, mean a Top 5 Defense?

I always felt yards per carry was a better indicator than total yards. 3.57 is pretty good for a defense. If we're trailing in the 4th quarter we're likely to give up more rushing yards than if we're leading. Teams won't throw as much. They want to run time off the clock.
Its the same for teams who have leads most the time. The opposition doesn't have time to run so they throw more. Which obviously mean less rushing yards. Total yards can be misleading. What our defensive yards per carry for the first half of the season?
