#25 - Seattle - Average passing game. Average at stopping the run. #26 - Buffalo - Average special teams and Sanchez's picks help their takeaways. #27 - Rams - They can punt. #28 - Tampa - Best return game and average against the pass. #29 - Detroit - Defense cannot stop the pass and leads the league in points allowed. #30 - Raiduhs - They can punt real far and are average against the pass. Worst return game in the league, by FAR. #31 - KC - They can punt. #32 - Cleveland - Decent return game, other than that they are horrible. None of the best punting teams are any higher than rank 15.
#24 #25 #26 #27 #28 #29 #30 - Detroit...maybe with another year under their belts? (eh, it's still Detroit) #31 - KC #32 - Cleveland - Decent return game, other than that they are horrible
Yeah, I hosed it up and accidentally submitted the post with just Cleveland to start. Maybe next week I cn do it one team at a time.
Cleveland actually have one of the league's best Special Teams and are the league leaders in fewest penalties. I'd put them ahead of Tampa & St Louis and in a bracket with Oakland, KC and Detroit.
Mangina automatically negates any talent they may or may not have. Worst team by far because of this incompetent joke of an idiot tool
Washington has to be on this list. If Seattle and the Skins played, I'd take Seattle even if they're giving the 'Skins 10 pts.
League averages Off: Pts Scored: 21.5, Rushing yards: 115.9, Passing yards: 219.4, 3rd down: 39%, Turnovers: 27.3 Def: Pts Allowed: 21.5, Rushing yards allowed: 115.9, Passing yards allowed: 219.4, Takeaways: 22 Cleveland Stats: Offense: Pts Scored: 11.1, Rushing yards: 97.5, Passing Yards: 133.2, 3rd down: 29%, Turnovers: 31 Defense: Pts Allowed: 25.4, rushing yards allowed: 159.9, Passing yards allowed: 233.4, Takeaways: 14 Cleveland is at least one standard deviation away from league average in the following categories: Pts scored, passing yards, 3rd down, Pts allowed, Rushing yards, Takeaways. The only category they are above league average is returns. All others are below average.
Washington's defense is actually quite decent. As a matter of fact they lead the league in fewest passing yards allowed and only allow 18.6 points per game. Seattle's offense performs avout the same overall as Washington's but their defense is below average. In particular they aren't particularly good against the pass. Seattle also allows more than the league average in scoring.
Yeah, but to look at Buffalo from a season stand point is flawed. This team is finally putting the best players on the field (I didn't say they were great players, but they are the best players). Finally there is a coach who plays to win in Buffalo. There are still many issues with this squad, but right now if you put them up against Washington, they win 7 out of 10 games played. Washington should be #26, Buffalo #25.
You're right my system does not adjust for changes such as a coaching change. Then again, great, or even good, teams don't make coaching changes mid-season. p.s. When the Bills consistently perform well they should rise.
