They rarely give 2011 green bay or new Orleans any credit. Fully expect them to be in the teens.

I remember seeing another similar topic on another site, "top 10 offenses". Both GB and NO were "honorable mentions"

For us to be 5th it must be a PFF article, they wouldn't put us that high unless they had no choice.

Let's conveniently omit the 1976 Baltimore Colts, the early 1970s Miami Dolphins, or the 1960s Packers! For my money they were as unstoppable an NFL offense that's ever existed.

Denver was a top 3 offense that season, top 7 in passing, top 2 rushing. 98 Vikings was the 2nd best offense in football but 11th in rushing, Broncos were a more well-rounded offense.

Minn 98 should be top 10 at the very least

They do it by DVOA. They started tracking whatever it was in 1987 which explains the years.

quote:

Note: 0 percent DVOA represents the league average, so an offense with a +30 percent mark rated 30 percent better than an average unit. Also, stats other than total offensive DVOA represent the regular season only unless noted.


98 Vikings were +24.0
11 saints were +35.3
07 Patriots were +41.1

I presume postseason performance was not accounted for in this adjudication?
