Hmmm maybe I will go back and actually read those posts by Dexter after all. I always thought they were the ramblings of a mad man. I mean, he was pulling out charts like Ross Perot.

Our defense hasn't ONLY been giving up yards in situations where we've had significant leads. So yeah, it does concern me. Giving up yards DOES matter, just not as much if you've got a great offense.

The whole point is using the yardage as an indicator of who has a better defense. If yards were a good indicator, then defenses with fewest yards would win more. Teams with the fewest yards would win the most.

If you rank teams by the yards they give up, the wins and losses are scattered randomly throughout the list.

If you rank them by how efficiently the hold the opponents to, the Wins are at the top of the list and the losses are at the bottom.

It isn't just that the Packers have such a good O that they D yards don't matter. Because it is true league wide.

Yes, I'm busting your balls because what you said was fucking stupid! And... I'm bored. Watching the Saints and 49ers has just made me want to watch the Packers game even more. DAMN ... IT!

Yards have mattered once this year and that was when we needed to stop Kansas City to get the ball back.

You gonna say water is wet and then profess you're the first to say as such too? Yes, everyone fucking knows yards mean next to nothing! You're not the only one who has piped that obvious fact on this forum.

And truth be told, everyone knows yards per attempt is what matters most. Duh! [duh]

With a link to an article saying yards don't matter.

Why would it be difficult so sleep Saturday night if EVERBODY already knew that?

I never said I was the only one saying it. I was only speaking only for myself.

I will leave speaking for EVERYONE to you.

In fact if you want to speak for everyone, why do you need anyone else to post? You can write every post for your damn self.

In fact, you can finish this one. Eat...
