Wow.. the blew team D is pretty decent..... the take away/giveaway ratio is their Achilles heel, hopefully we bite them in the ass with that stat.. means more points for us..

Hamilton's defensive stats are bad.

Thsi will not be an easy game by any means.

We give up the yards but stop them when needed. That's what those stats don't tell you. Yards mean nothing if you can't cash them in and we are good at stopping teams from cashing in. Course, when the O fails consistently and the D is forced back out there stop after stop, then obviously they're gunna breakdown and give up the points.
