Part of the problems with stats is they don't tell the whole story.

On paper, our offense looks like it is doing a good job and putting up plenty of points. I don't find that to be the case, though. We've struggled with suffocating a team when a head, and scoring against good defenses. Also, a good amount of our points have come from our defense.

we're losing the time of posession game and as a result the defense wears down

lots of conclusions one can draw out of these; just thought I'd throw them out there for people to think about

definitely, and thank you for doing that. I was under the impression our run defense was worse.

that's it right there!!! can't get a first down to save their lives. seems like the third and forth quarters have belonged to the opposition, even in the victories. penalties are killing the offense too.

That's because our QB accounts for 19.5 of our 93.5 rushing yards/game. Without him, we'd rank 31st in rushing yards--ahead of only the Colts.

[Gunakor]

Lumpkin would be the bruiser. B-Jax would get worn out by the ATL defense, not the other way around. Any word on whether or not Lumpkin will suit up for Sunday's game?

Your right about that! The O needs to figure out a way to stay on the field.

[Scott Campbell]

Good stats B. Thanks.

It's also misleading in that there have been 3 int's returned for TD, plus 1 punt. Factor in those and the offense puts up a much weaker 20 ppg. I realize the table doesn't account for these types of scores on other teams either, but I suspect that the Packers are petty high in total points scored by D+ST.
