hondo in seattle Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 It has been discussed a lot before: for decades, traditional passer rating differential has been the greatest predictor of team success and Super Bowl appearances/victories by far relative to other team stats. The Pats' team passer rating differential: +25.1. The Falcons' team passer rating differential: +24.3. No other team was even remotely close to these numbers. KC was third at +13.2 and Dallas was fourth with +8.9. They have similar ratings which, I hope, indicates a close game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Paging Majbobby to respond. Atlanta has a pair of really good running backs in Coleman and Freeman. NE has a big bruiser in Blount (led league in TDs) and 2 very capable pass catching backs in Lewis and White. Seriously your takes are showing how little football you watch around the league. Wait, am I processing this right? I am saying Atlanta and NE run the ball well, look at all the points they score and yards they have on the ground. You are telling me I don't have football knowledge, and the argument against me is that Coleman and Freeman are good, and that the stable in NE brings a lot of production and diversity to the running game?

No I 100% agree with you. I'm disagreeing with his assertion that neither of those teams have a strong running game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBills808 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Atlanta was 5th in rushing yards per games, and 3rd in rushing TD's. So yes, actually they did. Edit: NE was 7th in yards and 5th in rushing TD's Yup. They were also 3rd and 4th, respectively, in passing yards per game. They had terrific offenses, we had a terrific run game.
