Well this offseason we wont be changing anything so if anything defenses should improve and scoring will be down slightly, very interesting figures though, if anything perhaps scoring was up too much this year.

We'll just leave it next season so it'll probably go down to the levels of the last 2 seasons before.

I know the defensive downgrades were necesarry but sometimes I wonder what
Bobby Phillips stats would have been if he would have played the same soft defenses
that are now in the league.

He had his 18 or so rushing TDs against DLines that were much more effective
and his tons of yards against DBs with a speed advantage instead ofa speed disadvantage

[Paul-London]

Then again its like real life, if Dan Marino played in the league nowadays where the DB's cant make contact after 5 yards then who knows what records might be broken.

If Barry Sanders had a decent QB then he might have racked up more yards as the defenses wouldnt focus solely on him.

If Bobby Phillips had played now perhaps Stoney Case would have thrown for 4000+ yards more often instead of Phillips running the ball so much etc.
