Tampa’s defense was just as good. The bears defense would not be keeping them in games if Jameis was their QB. They would have probably finished worse than 8-8.
This is just flat out wrong. It's dead wrong. TB was the fourth worst defense this year - the only teams worse than TB were Miami, Carolina, and NYG. They gave up 28 ppg. What are you talking about?
It’s not wrong. This is where you should watch football games instead of judging defenses by points allowed. Scroll up and read Hussra’s post for added context.
It is amusing however that you want Jameis as the Bears QB but don’t even seem to understand the basics of what goes with having a QB who threw 30 interceptions in one season.
Defenses should only be judged by points allowed, that's all that matters. Idk what his sources are. TB gave up the third most passing yards, only AZ and Detroit gave up more. They were good against the run. 10 yards per pass is not good, and that's not on Winston. Pick sixes don't count against your D. At best, it's a giant leap of faith to say Winston's 30 INTs are the major driver behind TB giving up 28 ppg.
Notably, this supposedly good defense surrendered 31 and 40 points during games where Winston threw no picks at all. They also gave up ANOTHER 40 point game in which Winston only threw one pick as well as another 32 point game in a one pick game. This should be enough to refute the notion that TB and Chicago were somehow similarly good defensive teams.
