You're wrong about the "much worse" statement.

Team - rank
Pats - 4th
Giants - 8th
Cardinals - 9th
Eagles - 11th
Packers - 15th

The Lions and Dolphins are the only bad Ds we've played and we won both games. The Dolphins were fully healthy then too, they've played without Zach Thomas for a few games since.
