Ethan...Again Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) The high scoring ranking was more due to how well the Falcons' special teams played last year. Special teams usually has bigger drop offs/gains from year to year for teams... plus with the new kickoff rule, the Falcons won't have an as much of an advantage over the bad special teams units.Really have no idea how Falcons fans can expect both their offense and defense to be ranked so high in scoring again this year when they clearly were average at best most of the season. They have a long way to improve across the board to get back to those rankings. I remember the Saints having the 3rd highest scoring offense in 2002 despite ranking 19th in total yards... this was due to a number of good special teams returns that year. Of course they finished 14th in ppg the following year even though the offense improved to 11th in yards per game.When you break it down, this is where the Falcons ranked offensively & defensively:Offensive rushing yards per play: 4 way tie for 25thOffensive passing rating per game: 2 way tie for 10th26th overall in yards per play gainedDefensive rushing yards allowed per play: 3 way tie for 25thDefensive passer rating allowed per game: 14th27th overall in yards per play allowedAverage all season=top 5 in both categories? Right. Obvious gold shaded glasses. Or did you get them gold plated Edited August 12, 2011 by Ethan...Again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradael Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Average all season=top 5 in both categories? Right. Obvious gold shaded glasses. Or did you get them gold plated Top 5 scoring is different because it includes special teams.Go back and look at how they performed against the few good offenses they played last year. I went through this before. But in the 4th quarter of all those games that were close against the Packers, Saints, & Ravens (of course this excludes the blowout losses to the Packers & Eagles), the Falcons could not get one stop in the 4th quarter/overtime of any of those games.

SuperAINTSfan Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Someone pointed out that, once you subtract pick-6's, TD's from fumbles and special teams scores that the Saints D actually gave up something like 2 points less than the Falcons D. I mean, so long as we're splitting hairs FACTS that make the saints look better are NOT ALLOWED!FALCONS 16th ranked def is the best in the NFCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I don't think that you have to hate one team and constantly attack another team or another team's fans in order to be a fan of the first team. HATING another team is pretty silly, actually, but some people around here aren't reasonable enough and don't have the proper perspective to be able to see that. Maybe that's the reason why I am not at the top of certain people's popularity lists on here...because I am not a clone of them. Well, if that's the case, that's perfectly fine...I know my attitude is right...and that's all that really matters in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
