It was.

You know what else is pathetic? Von hasn't beat Eric Fisher.

QBs sure seem to shit their pants a lot with Houston on their tail....including Brady. Against Denver? He could a made a sandwich in the pocket.

And despite the fact that your sacks result in more lost yardage, our third down and pass defense overall is still better than yours.

Why isn't Miller also feasting on short yardage sacks if they're so damn easy to come by?

Mark McGuire was a much better player than Sammy Sosa because McGuire's home runs would travel on average 430 feet, while Sosa's only traveled about 400 feet. /MagicDerp

He's just pacing himself.

It doesn't really matter. The Broncos and Chiefs will be paying HUGE money to their pass rushers. I'm talking $75 million as the floor.

Wouldn't be surprised to see either get $85 million honestly

We've given up more pass yards because teams are throwing more to keep up with Manning. On a per play basis, our pass defense is better, giving up 5.5 YPA compared to KC's 5.7.

I didn't say they were easy to come by, I said they have less of an effect on the game.

Then sack yardage doesn't mean shit when evaluating two different pass rushers

It sure does when you're evaluating how valuable each player is to their team.

Another point to consider is the games in which the players are getting sacks. 53% of Houston's sacks have come in 7 games. Not just any 7 games, the 7 most meaningless games KC has played. 4 were against NFC teams, and 3 were against the dredges of the AFC (Jacksonville, Tennessee, Jets).

In 57% of his games, he's failed to get to the QB at all.

In 17 AFCW games, he has 5.5 sacks.

Only 40% of his multisack games were against teams that made (or are likely to make) the playoffs.

Now compare this to Von:

He's produced the biggest in the most meaningful games, with 14 sacks in 18 AFCW games.

He's only been held sackless in 33% of his games.

He doesn't pile up huge sack numbers in games against bad teams, 78% of his multi-sack games were against teams that made/will make the playoffs.

It doesn't mean anything, just as sacks aren't the be all and end all of pass rushing.

Scoring change from NE game: CB @BradRoby_1 credited w/forced fumble. Is now only NFL rookie w/INT, sack, FF & FR.
