2010 Scoring Breakdown: Your Thoughts?

[falcndave]

I know from watching games we are a very good 4th quarter team. I took a glance through the 2010 box scores and came up with the following numbers. I did this by hand, so excuse some minor errors. It should be very close.

Here are 16 game totals for 2010:

• 
  Total Score (excluding 2 OTs) Atlanta 411 / Opponents 275
  
• 
  1st Quarter Atlanta 69 / Opponents 75
  
• 
  2nd Quarter Atlanta 148 / Opponents 55
  
• 
  3rd Quarter Atlanta 84 / Opponents 79
  
• 
  4th Quarter Atlanta 111/ Opponents 66
  

Some observations:

• 
  We dominate the 2nd and 4th quarters
  
• 
  We lose the 1st quarter and are almost even in the 3rd
  

Some questions:

• 
  Why do we we start both halves slow?
  
• 
  Why do we warm up at the end of both halves?
  
• 
  How many of our points are scored in the last 7 minuts of each half?
  
• 
  How often are we in the no huddle at times other than the last 10 minutes of each half??
  

Possible Implications:

• 
  Ryan is a slow starter, needs to get warmed up.
  
• 
  Ryan is more comfortable in the up tempo/no huddle offense.
  
• 
  It's all a total coincidence...no implications
  
• 
  Defensive calls are more aggressive late in halves trying to get the ball back
  
• 
  These score numbers correlate with turnovers...we get turnovers in the 2nd and 4^th
  

What, if anything, does this mean to you? All serious thoughts are appreciated.
