If PFF told you guys that Rosie O'Donnell was hot you'd be lining up to buy her swimsuit poster.

The fact that they claim we have a top 10 defense is just more proof of what a joke they can be.  We have a good pass defense but it is worthless when teams can just run over us at will.

17th in points
25th in yards
15th in first downs
16th in yards per play
17th in turnovers
16th in 3rd down conversion %

It's funny how you constantly trash something you don't even understand then use raw numbers compared to a breakdown that uses 4 facets of the defense to grade. 

It's even more funny when you look at the numbers you posted and all of them but 1 show that the defense is about average. 

But the kicker is, regardless of what the article says, they have the Bengals overall D graded at 16th, which is pretty much where they are with all the numbers you posted. 

Stats-wise they're 23rd in TYPG, 9th in PYPG, 30th in RYPG and 16th in PPG.
