I've done a quick comparison of total yards gained for teams this season compared to last season. So, in the style of the pop charts, here's this year's risers and fallers on offence.

hm, interesting but only looking at the off is not saying if your team is better or worse then the year before, a combi of Off and Def would give a better picture

Wonder why you did that chart in particular Andrew ! ;-)

You'll have to do a defensive one as well !!

If your team gets a decent defense then you could be an excellent team in the EFC, i shall think of some trade offers now !

Tonight in the train I have been thinking both are based on yards, so you must not only compair the position of both but the yards. When I have time I will do for both later this week or next week

You can analyse Football stats in a million different ways, but the only one that really counts is which team has the most points at the end of the game! Someone once said that statistics are like bikinis, what they reveal is nice, but what they cover up is usually more interesting.

Anyway, as Keith Barratt would say, "it's a bit of fun".

Andrew: I agree, look at Monteal. according to stats Montreal had a worse offence and defence then my team but at the end they won the bowl.

Unfortunately you cannot look at yards alone.  As stated by Niki, look at my numbers and you see it doesnt look that impressive.

My team basically moves the ball, scores, and we take advantage of turnovers, and good special teams, so we generally have good field position.  On the flip side, if we have a lead, teams tend to got alot more yards than us, so if you look at the numbers come season end, it doesnt add up as nicely as you'd hope.

Hey, I like your charts Andrew! Mexico statistically dominated several games early in the season which we ended up losing.  Overall we improved a little on both offense and defense, which is very incouraging, considering that we started very young players the second half of the season. ;D
