They showed a quick stat during the game, I can't remember it exactly but it showed that the average yards passing in NFL is only 20-30 yards higher 2011 than what it was in 1984. So really the difference isn't as big as everybody tries to make it out to be.

Seeing how the Saints are on the pace to break the NFL record for offensive yards in a season I would guess Marino had a lot worse running game behind him, I don't know really how that affect things.
