And average defense for any of them would have gotten those teams to 11-5 or better.Philnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11802988.post-82471852972139570502008-12-31T07:42:00.000-05:002008-12-31T07:42:00.000-05:00Great analysis, however 1 season is probably too small a sample size to get any meaningful results. For instance, all the offensive #s vs. wins are skewed down by NO being #1 in offense (8-8) followed by ARI (9-7) and DEN and HOU which were both 8-8 as well.<BR/><BR/>On a totally different topic, when did the Eagles offense throw out the slant pass? You also hardly ever see them run the screen pass anymore. If you think about it, this offense is really quite a bit different than it was 5 years ago.Philnoreply@blogger.com
