A scary stat for the offense...

[teeray]

:D

I just saw this beauty of a post and all I wanna say is please go to bed. Because I think you should get banned if you post one more stat. You just went through all that to describe: "yards per point"? It's in the definition itself.

First. That one touchdown would be 100 yards of offense minimum(football field is 100 yards) not 70.

Second. Your team is going to be throwing those interceptions from where exactly? The 20 yard line? Because those yard count in offensive YPP. So it would be ranked nearly last not first.

So if you had 1 touchdown = 100 yards

3 more at the 20 yard line= 60yards.

160/7 = 22.8 ypp.

You just described a team somewhere between Washington(20.0) and the St Louis Rams(25.1) the worst offense in the NFL and this is in a situation where they would be down 7-21 with 50 minutes of football left to play.

Unless you mean to tell me they are throwing these pics from their own endzone. So if your offense is throwing interceptions from the 0 yard marker they, would be in their own endzone, and not only would they still be just average in YPP offensively but they would be one of the most efficient offenses in scoring for the other team. They would either throw a pick 6 or throw bombs and the other team would get guaranteed 3 point FG tries. So they would be down 7-21 with 50 minutes left to play.

And.....

Third. It would kill your defense's YPP. Which is why Indi who is ranked 30th in YPP has a 32nd ranked defense in PPG. Carolina who is ranked 21st in YPP has a 29th ranked defense in YPP.

Which is why when I refer to efficient offenses I don't just use YPP. I use BOTH: turnovers + ypp. When I wanna know the efficiency of a defense: I have to take out turnovers because of exactly what you just described. You can count pick 6's though to subtract points from a defense's PPG.

If you also throw in penalties and yards lost...we would be ranked easily the worst offense in the NFL, far below St. Louis.

Once again you just proved ypp is the best way to measure an offense's scoring efficiency and proved you don't know how to use stats or what they mean and how they are calculated.

You also proved to me earlier that points per possession is the worst way to measure defense's efficiency.

I am not sure you understand YPP after reading this post. Every TD scoring drive after a kick off =/= 100 yards in YPP calculations.

YPP is calculated by total yards divided by total points scored. So a 70 yard TD drive is 10 YPP. Not 14.2 YPP (if you divided by 100). Special team return yardage is not calculated in total yardage and therefore it isn't calculated in YPP. Therefore my example was correct and the team would have a YYP of 10 yards and would lead the NFL.

Because you don't understand how YPP is calculated it makes the rest of this post invalid.
