Yards per play differential rankings for week 12
November 27th, 2010 | NFL, Random Musings, Sports, Steelers
1 Chargers +1.8
Congratulations to Norv Turner. You have the league’s best team.
2 Eagles +1.2
Deep threat receivers. A quarterback that can throw deep and run real fast. Wow!
3 Steelers +0.9
Have the Steelers just found another gear with those 2 young receivers?
4 Giants +0.8
Eli Manning is a turnover machine.
5 Saints +0.6
They just want to peak at the right time. Very smart.
6 Packers +0.6
Injuries haven’t stopped this team .
7 Jets +0.4
Best Coach in pro football.
8 Chicago +0.4
Chicago’s defense vs The Eagles offense should be the best matchup of the weekend.
9 Vikings +0.4
Losing record despite the 9th best YPP differential is why you fire a head coach.
10 Chiefs +0.3
Good running team with Quarterbacks like matt Cassel don’t = championship teams.
11 Miami +0.2
Apparently 100 million dollar offensive lines don’t guarantee QB safety.
12 Titans +0.2
Where does the Cutler, Young, Leinart draft QB draft class stand?
13 49ers +0.1
When you have a bad owner, you tend to get stuck with coaches like Singletary and QB’s like Alex Smith.
14 Dallas +0.1
Were the Cowboys under achieving with Wade or are they over achieving with Garrett? You make the call.
15 Ravens +0.1
Their defense doesn’t scare anyone anymore.
16 Indy +0.0
Manning chokes in yet another clutch situation. I j
ust wish the National Media would get their head of out of their ass and take notice of these things.
17 Tampa +0.0
Shoring up the run defense should be next year’s priority for this improved team.
18 Oakland -0.2
They were +0.3 before they played Steelers last week.
19 Denver -0.2
They were no match for the unhealthy Chargers this past Monday.
20 Texans -0.2
When they were 2-1 on the season, I wrote “same ol Texans.”
21 Bills -0.2
When they were 0-6, I wrote that the Chan Gailey had the team improving and the wins were soon to follow. Yep.
22 Bengals -0.3
What is the Bengals identity?
23 Browns -0.3
Could Holmgren and Mangini be the next Pioli and Belichick?
24 Pats -0.4
I could give you a lot of evidence that they’re not as good as they seem. But you wouldn’t believe me.
25 Skins -0.5
McNabb gets benched and then gets 48 million. If you’re confused, don’t feel alone.
26 Falcons -0.6
Frauds.
27 Seattle -0.7
The NFC west is as bad as advertised.
28 Detroit -0.7
Didn’t they draft a QB with the top pick a couple years ago?
29 Carolina -0.7
Having to watch their offense game after game must be absolutely painful.
30 Rams -0.8
Bradford has a 7-1 TD to interception ratio in the past several games. But his YPA is terrible.
31 Jaguars -1.0
How are the ticket sales doing in Jacksonville these days?
32 Arizona -1.0
They began the season going to 2-1. They won 3 of their first 5 games. But this is what happens when you lose a QB that averages 8 yards per attempt for their career.
I'm just curious, how is it that when Rex Ryan has a team at 9-2 with the 7th best YPP differential in football, he's the best head coach in football, but when Bill Bellichick has a team at 9-2 in the same division as those very same Jets, his team just isn't good? I maintain that Bellichick is the best coach in football. His teams have always outplayed their YPP differential.
Also, I feel like the national media definitely notices Manning's choker tendencies. Though that might just be here in Indiana, but I hear all the time what a choker he is.
Just my opinion. It doesn't mean it is right.
Rex is 9-2 with Sanchez. Belichick is 9-2 with Brady. That would be my answer. Ryan has to build a game plan that constantly has to work around the most important player. Belichick has the luxury of having one of the leagues alltime best players running his offense. Huge advantage for Belichick.
Also, , there was an NFL poll taken by 300 humdred players and they voted
Ryan as the coach they would most like to play for.
just my opinion. doesn't make it right. If I think Ryan is the best coach, Belichick is certainly 1A.
