That is the worst example ever. Did you not watch that post season and super bowl?

Well, aren't you shooting holes in your own argument? If you only look at postseason stats, yes, Indy played well on both sides of the ball. But, they had to get into the playoffs to win the playoffs. And, over the course of the year, the Colts had one of the worst defenses to win a championship.

The issue with looking at postseason only stats is that it is a much smaller sample. You are only looking at 12 teams to start with, and at least 4 of those teams only play 1 game and at the most any team only plays 4 games. Much smaller sample; so, one game can skew the stats. Example, the 2009 saints were 8th and 9th out of 12 in O and D, but won the Super Bowl. But for heck of it:


Postseason only:

(total offense)/(total defense)

_(4) / (3) 2010 Green Bay
_(8) / (9) 2009 Saints
_(7) / (4) 2008 Steelers
_(8) / (4) 2007 Giants
_(2) / (1) 2006 Colts
_(3) / (8) 2005 Steelers
(10) / (5) 2004 Patriots
_(6) / (4) 2003 Patriots
_(8) / (1) 2002 Buccaneers
_(7) / (6) 2001 Patriots
(10) / (3) 2000 Ravens


^ this data tells me nothing because it is not on an even playing field. The teams listed played more games than almost all the teams they are ranked against.
