Team Stats through Week 11

[Pantha-kun]

Offense

#17  Total Offense (Avg. Yards Per Game)

# 17 Scoring Offense (Avg. Points Scored Per Game)

#22 Passing Offense (Avg. Pass Yards Per Game)

#7 Rushing Offense (Avg. Rush Yards Per Game

#1 in the League in 3rd Down Conversion Percentage (WOW Rams , Eagles, Vikings, and Patriots all have a lower %)

 

Defense 

# 2 Total Defense (Avg. Yards Allowed Per Game) (Jaguars recently passed us for #1 Defense)

# 4 Pass Defense (Avg. Passing Yards Allowed Per game)

# 3 Rush Defense (Avg. Rushing Yards Allowed Per Game)

# 9 in Opponent 3rd Down Conversion Percentage

# 1 in Opponent 4th Down Conversion Percentage (Among Defenses that have had at least 10 4th down conversion attempts against them, or greater)

I tried to only use stats that had averages since there were multiple people complaining in my last thread that I had too many stats that just counted total numbers and didnt account for bye weeks. 

What I'm getting from all of this, is that we are making gigantic improvements in rushing offense , and we're a mediocre passing team but that could clearly be a function of us running so well lately. And despite us being the #17 ranked total offense, somehow we are leading the league in 3rd down conversion percentage. We have been consistently moving the chains well all year long and we learned that when we actually manage to punch it in the end zone that makes this team incredibly dangerous .

Defense is what many of us already know. Top 10 in pretty much every major defensive catagory , and probably most importantly  to me we are top 10 in opponent 3rd down conversions. Combine that with us being #1 in offense in 3rd down conversions , that means we are moving down the field while the opponent is not more often than not, which is great. The defense is clearly lacking in takeaways, that may be the only clear weakness of the Defense thus far. And I'm guessing Wilks and Rivera have probably been harping on that through the mid season point.

Solid info! It will be interesting to see where we are after the saints game, at that point every team will have played 3/4ths of their schedule.

Now that all of the byes are complete, total stats are cool again.

That #9 in 3rd down should be ranked higher but Rivera has always given up 3rd and 10 and 3rd and 15+ like giving out Halloween candy.

The longer the YTG the more cushion we give at a default of 10 on 3rd and 1-3 YTG.

I think that was more McDermott than Rivera. Wilks has been aggressive as fug on 3rd down.
