Saints would still lose if defense was the 2000 Ravens
Those who know me, know that I'm not a stats guy, but I came across this nugget while answering another post, and I feel it's worth it of its own thread.
Check this out: Points scored by the 2005 Saints offense: 15.9 per game Points allowed by the 2000 Ravens defense: 16.5 per game So, even if the Saints defense was the equivalent of the 2000 Ravens defense, they'd still lose by the totally inept play of the offense!!! The 2005 Saints defense would have to be the equivalent of the 1985 Bears defense, which allowed less than 13 points per game, for the Saints to actually win games. Discuss... |

RE: Re: RE: Saints would still lose if defense was the 2000
Hey you put yourself there. You've been carring the Defense sucks banner the offense isn't at fault flag since you started posting here. So don't say i'm putting you anywhere. You may not be in the boat but it sounds as if you are trailing in the dingy not far behind. All it will take is for brooks to move on to another team and show the same handicaps he has here and you'll be asking for a "click" t-shirt.

Actually the 2000 Raven defense held opponents to precisely 10.3125 points per game during the regular season.
http://www.football.com/nfl/records/NFLDScoring.shtml Just look under Fewest Points Allowed, Season (16-game Seasons) 165 divided by 16 is 10.3125. That still doesn’t change the fact that our offense is dog poop, and that our QB, LT, and LG should be replaced. |

I know that some of the scores against the Ravens may have come from turnovers by the offense/special teams and did not involve the defense, but 96 points?? That's a lot; I doubt that 96 points were scored against the Ravens after turnovers by the offense/special teams
... Now, it may be that that tabulation doesn't count field goals and special teams scores as scores against the defense...then I would need to take all field goals out of the average for the 2005 Saints offense and any scores by special teams or the defense. |

http://www.baltimoreravens.com/docs/FINALStats_2000.pdf Or follow this link; http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/schedule.jsp then click on 2000 Season Results at the bottom if the other link won't work. But, as I said, it's still no excuse for our bad play on offense. |
