In your case last year you faced 3 top ten scoring offenses from last year Philly, Minesota and GB you lost twice to Philly and 1 to Gb you won the Minesota game but that was the last game of the season and it didn't count to them they had reached the playoff coudn't win the division and couldnt get home filed.
From the 10- 15 best scoring offense you faced Cin and Pit you lost to both of them. Your other wins came against NYG (22), TB (23), DET(24), SF(30) and CHI(32) not even a top 20 in that list.
Your turnover ratio was -1 (26 takeaways vs 27 givaways)that was a tie for 20th spot you had the second best third down converstion with 31% wich was 1 of the only good things your team had.
The other point is that you had the 31st scoring offense so each team new they didn't had to score 30 points (15 points average) to beat you, just get ahead take time from the clock and let your offense play catch up. They didnt need to risk it wich explains the low amount of turnovers you made.
So don't read to much to the 3rd best D because it ain't real like Dallas wasn't the best D of 2003 it was only the D that allowed the lest amount of yards but it sure didn't represent the most feared and most dificult to score defense.
Your team its what it is a 6-10 team untill it proves otherwise like Dallas is and don't hang and put the 3rd Def in a pedestal like is the greatest thing. Hey you won only 6 games snap out of it. Who cares how good was your defense if it only helped you win 6 games.
Look to the future and try to demand more of your team than STATS because who cares if you have the best STATS QB or D or OFF if you won't be playing in January at the endof the line the only thing that matters is the W.

umm, dude, its a good defense period... i don't know why you're bring up all these win/lose and our offensive ranking, they have nothing to do with how good our D was/is. look at total turnovers, not turnover ratio, cause ratio includes the offense... look at yards/play and the total time our D was on the field... its 5minutes more than pittsburg last year.
There's no way you can say our D wasn't great last year... the front four presure wasn't amazing and the turnover forced wasn't that great, but the stats are way up there in every category.
