I disagree that stats do not matter- of course they do. They do not mean you will win or lose, but of course they matter- and the stat that matters most is points scored vs points against. If stats did not matter teams that were last in offensive and defensive stats would be in the super bowl.

I feel you, Bra-- I wasn't arguing
