Offense hurt Defense Part 2.
Top 10 defenses in NFL!
1.Pittsburg - offense 19.4 first downs per game. 2. Buffalo- offense 16.9 first downs per game. 3.Washington - offense 16.8 first downs per game. 4.Denver - offense 21.9 first downs per game. 5.Tampa Bay- offense 16.9 first downs per game. 6.Baltimore - offense 16.2 first downs per game. 7.New York Jets- offense 19.6 first downs per game. 8.Miami - offense 16.7 first downs per game. 9.New England- offense 21.5 first downs per game 10.Philadelphia - offense 18.8 first downs per game. 32. New Orleans - offense 18.2 first downs per game. Out of the TOP 10 defenses in the NFL, the Saints offense had MORE first downs than 5 teams! (Miami, Baltimore, Tampa, Washington, and Buffalo) How can 5 of the TOP 10 defenses in the NFL have offenses with LESS first downs than us? Their offenses didn't keep them from finishing in the top 10?! Let's carry this a bit further: Top 10 defenses in NFL! 1.Pittsburg - offensive scoring per game - 23.2 2. Buffalo- offensive scoring per game - 24.7 3.Washington - offensive scoring per game - 15.0 4.Denver - offensive scoring per game - 23.8 5.Tampa Bay- offensive scoring per game - 18.8 6.Baltimore - offensive scoring per game - 19.8 7.New York Jets- offensive scoring per game - 20.8 8.Miami - offensive scoring per game - 17.2 9.New England- offensive scoring per game - 27.3 10.Philadelphia - offensive scoring per game - 24.1 32. New Orleans - offensive scoring per game - 21.8 Of the TOP 10 defense in the NFL, 5 teams (Miami, Jets, Balitmore, Tampa, and Washington) scored less points than our offense: Conclusion: 5 of the top 10 defenses in the NFL had offenses that: 1. Scored less points than the the Saints offense. 2. Had fewer first downs than the Saints. Simply put, our offense had very little effect on our 32nd ranking. And we better hope this gets fixed because our offense wasn't the problem! [Edited on 23/2/2005 by GumboBC] [Edited on 23/2/2005 by GumboBC] |
