I know I'll get flamed for this, but the same with the Patriots. They've actually been averaging 10-15 in PPG the last couple of years, but people just see the yardage and shite bricks. quote:


In 2011 our scoring defense wasn't all that bad but they gave up a shite ton of yards. So I kind of know where you're coming from. In 2010 our scoring defense was even better but it ended up not really making a difference in the end.

I'd argue it's dominated by health going into the playoffs. If Gronk is healthy, the Patriots win at least one of the last two Super Bowls.


definitely had something to do with it in 2010 for the Saints. We had guys miss that game or play with nagging injuries. Plus it was just the end of the long grind defending the title. Your team was the last to win it back-to-back and that was when... 2004?

I think the parity in the league is gaining more and more now.

A lot more games lost by a TD or less it seems like.

Yep. More and more money means more and more intelligence in the front offices. I think teams are also way more likely to cut a coach they don't think is pulling his weight.
