A lot has changed in 2 decades.

I keep hearing that yet scoring appears to be on par with 2003.  Running the ball and defense has made a comeback this year.  

A quick check of stats shows that teams were actually averaging slightly more ppg in 2004 than they are this year.  2004 is as far as the stats go back on the site I checked.

I found the 2003 stats.

In 2003, 7 teams were averaging more than 25 a game, with one averaging more than 30.  This year, 7 teams are averaging more than 25 points a game, none of them are up at 30.  

 

Looking at the top rushing teams, in 2003 the Ravens were the top rushing team, with 167 yards a game. This year the Bears are the top, with nearly 190 while the Eagles are second with 163.  Admittedly, the styles are different, but running the ball and playing defense are still very good ways to win.  


That being said, of course we need better qb play to have a chance at the Super Bowl.  Hopefully, we will get it in the offseason.

      Who were we going to trade up with? The Dolphins wanted Proctor, the Rams were vehement on taking Ty Simpson, the Ravens wanted Ioane, and the Bucs werent trading with us except for maybe a kings ransom. Even if we wanted to move, we had no partner. Moot point.

      Devin Lloyd is a stud lb but who is next to him? Prince and Nic should improve. Lee was super value but i am not counting this fourth round chicken yet. I would expect some improvement; hope to eat my words w/ a top ten D.

      I mean I agree about diminished Cam probably still being viable. Even though it gave a preview of how teams would defend the pass against a limited QB. There was an issue with the upcoming contract he was due to get and his expectations vs the new reality of his physical status - that people tend to  overlook when looking back on it  It had an effect on things I believe   But I do have to ask… what about Tepper’s second major move? fuging clueless   I mean I would take even an injured  Cam over Bryce all day long.
