I did something quite interesting.
I took the worst 5 defensive performances by passing yards given up each week and totaled them.
Together they are 31-29. Essentially the same result you get from picking 5 random teams each week.
Then I took the 5 worst defensive performance by passer rating allowed for each week.
Added together they are 3-57. Basically, the bottom 5 won about 5% of the time.
The top 5 by passing yards won... you guessed it 50% of the time. Any guesses what the middle 5 average?
And the top 5 in D passer rating wins 95% of the time.
So, if Vikesrule wants to make pointed remarks by quoting stats that are no better than random chance, his points are going to be rather impotent.
In case you didn't know, the Packers have a top 10 D passer rating.
If you add offensive passer rating and calculate the differential, the correlation gets even stronger.
The Packers lead in that by a fairly wide margin.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
