It honestly never occurred to me that 11x11=121.



ACK!

I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see Sava arguing with someone other than Imran.

No doubt he's laying in the weeds, waiting for the Falcons-Bears matchup in Week 15.

THOSE TEAMS ARE WINNING WITH OFFENSE AND TURNOVERS... NOT DEFENSE.

Cincinatti and NY yes, but the Denver defense is the primary reason they're doing so well. They're #1 against the run and their grind-the-clock playstyle forces teams to pass on them. The average team has faced around 350 pass plays - teams have attempted to pass on Denver for a league-high 440 times. Despite that, they are 3rd best in pass yards per play and 4th best with completion percentage. While Denver's offense is great, it's certainly not 'high-powered' like Cincinatti or Indianapolis, and not the reason they're winning.

Ming killed my image. It were a good image.

For the sake of thread-continuity and such, I've added a link to it in the original post, but it won't mess up the thread display.

So there is a DIRECT CORRELATION between having a good offense and having a high turnover ratio.

That wouldn't have anything to do with teams who have high turnover ratios have a higher than average number of possessions, and hence more yardage

[asleepathewheel]

High turnovers are an overrated negative, much like a general glance at penalties. look at the Rams in their brief heyday, turn over turn over turn over. When you have an insane offense, you can overcome almost anything, especially when a lot are interceptions which have the same result as a punt.

Just what in the hell are we going to do about this weekend (or Christmas for that matter)???

[reismark]

Love conquers all.

[Japher]

and the packers suck this year... Go BEars!

[Ming]

"you can throw out the record books when these two teams meet"... a common line by sports radio all week.

If the Bears play like they have been... Favre might retire by halftime

[Donegeal]

Not to worry folks. We have a plan...

[Japher]

you should make a mini instant replay booth

[Ming]

The Bears vs the Packers... always a good day for Football.

Not Farve... the man doesn't quit. He might make the lamest pass attempts of any HoF quarterback in the history of the NFL, but he never just quits.

The rest of the team, however....

It will be interesting to see if the rivalry is enough to wake the Packers up.
