That football field was horrible. ![]()
What is also interesting is what Patriots fans are saying about the big 3. They have been breaking down NO,GB and NE for weeks, and see us as having a more complete resume.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- These three teams interest me in terms of comparison. Most experts argue that GB is the clear favorite to win it all, and that NO is probably the most complete team, but most folks seem to think that, while Brady gives them a chance, their defense really is so bad as to make a championship not much more than a pipe dream. So let's put that to the test and compare the three teams. OFFENSE Yds/G NO - 456.7 (#1) NE - 424.5 (#2) GB - 395.5 (#5) Pass Yds/G NO - 331.4 (#1) NE - 316.1 (#2) GB - 297.0 (#3) Pass Y/A NO - 8.2 (#5) NE - 8.5 (#2) GB - 9.2 (#1) QB Rating NO - 109.0 (#2) NE - 105.1 (#3) GB - 120.9 (#1) Rush Yds/G NO - 125.4 (#10) NE - 108.4 (#20) GB - 98.5 (#27) Rush Y/A NO - 4.7 (#6) NE - 4.0 (#22) GB - 4.0 (#21) 3rd Down % NO - 54.8% (#1) NE - 45.6% (#4) GB - 48.0% (#2) Points Per Game NO - 32.6 (#2) NE - 30.9 (#3) GB - 34.3 (#1) TO/G NO - 1.1 (#4) NE - 1.1 (#3) GB - 0.8 (#2) Red Zone Efficiency NO - 57.1 (#8) NE - 64.2 (#3) GB - 65.1 (#2) Time of Possession NO - 31:51 (#5) NE - 28.44 (#25) GB - 30:24 (#12) oSRS (profootball-reference.com) NO - 9.7 (#2) NE - 8.7 (#3) GB - 11.0 (#1) DEFENSE Yds/G NO - 366.1 (#25) NE - 412.1 (#32) GB - 400.7 (#31) Pass Yds/G NO - 256.1 (#28) NE - 294.7 (#32) GB - 286.3 (#31) Pass Y/A NO - 7.1 (#15) NE - 8.2 (#29) GB - 7.7 (#26) QB Rating NO - 86.4 (#23) NE - 88.2 (#26) GB - 78.3 (#8) Rush Yds/G NO - 109.9 (#12) NE - 117.5 (#17) GB - 114.4 (#16) Rush Y/A NO - 4.9 (#30) NE - 4.6 (#25) GB - 4.7 (#26) 3rd Down % NO - 32.8 (#5) NE - 44.1 (#29) GB - 42.9 (#28) TO/G NO - 0.9 (#32) NE - 2.0 (#4) GB - 2.3 (#2) Red Zone Efficiency NO - 64.7% (#31) NE - 53.5% (#18) GB - 53.1% (#17) dSRS (profootball-reference.com) NO - 0.0 (#18) NE - 0.0 (#18) GB - 0.8 (#15) The overall profile of Green Bay and New England couldn't be more similar. Not in every exact category, obviously, but in the vast majority. It seems to me that it's clear that NE is the #3 team of this group, but it's a lot closer than people would like to think. Interestingly, NO probably has the best overall statistical profile. But they'll have to go on the road to beat Green Bay (assuming both teams advance that far), and NE would at least get GB (or NO, of course) on a neutral field. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
Saints proved that pigs could fly in 2009.
Now its time for another miracle SuperBowl and go where no pig has gone before. ![]() Last edited by pherein; 12-29-2011 at 10:30 AM.. |
