Except why is there even a tread telling people that we don't have to worry any more then? If EVERYBODY knows it.

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.

While it is certainly true that points are what matter most, yards matter some. There is an obscure government funded study that surprisingly correlates yards to points. They state that teams most frequently scored said points after, believe it or not, actually accumulating yards during the game!

The study is quick to state that it doesn't happen every time but it happens often enough to bear watching. (Some in the study like to watch bare but that is a whole nuther issue.) The study concluded that teams who gain a lot of yards score a lot of points. A team that scores a lot of points tends to win games unless their defense is sucky (term actually used in the study doc.) and gives up a lot of points as well.

One of the caveats of the paper is that teams who get turnovers will offset the yards they have allowed during said game. They then point out that reckless and unsuccessful attempts by players to gain a turnover will frequently allow their opponent large chunks of yardage.

Ahh, read above answer.

Umm, you must be a reporter or something. I mean, asking the same thing several times with different wording?? Read above, again.

This is true.

Hell no! I don't want everyone, just you pumpkin! Oh wait, you said speak for ... I speak for myself only. EVERYONE knows that. Haha, see what I did there?

I don't need anyone to post at all. You can all leave, that's okay. I'm not holding anyone hostage, including yourself. I just want something NEW to debate. This yards shit has been beaten to death and MOST agree and know yards don't win games, points do. Another, DUH!


Eat? Macaroni and Cheese? I just did, but if it makes you feel empowered to "tell" me to do it, so be it. I mean, you feel empowered by stating the obvious and then pound your chest after the fact.



That was fun, more fun than the fricking Patriots Broncos gam...err slaughter.

Good luck. With Favre retired and everyone agreeing that 🇹🇹 is a good GM after all and that 🇲🇲 is a good coach now and Ryan Grant still can run with the football and Jordy Nelson is better than James Jones and we're no longer a WCO team and being able to run is overrated and not that important, what do we have to argue about now?

I guess we still have Finley to argue about. Even the Favre vs Aaron thread started but people walked in and walked out without saying anything.

You're just not going to get much new stuff to debate. It's not gonna happen. Enjoy people's contributions here. I happen to think Dexter is one of the better posters on this forum.
