Random Statistical Observations while waiting out a Hurricane
Random Statistical Thoughts after week 8 while waiting out a Hurricane
1) The Pats are one of only 2 teams to have played 5 road games (Seattle 1-4) and they have a 3-2 road record, Only three other teams have three or more road wins at this point ( Hou, Atl, NYG). It bodes well when the only road games are Mia,NYJ and Jax and the teams with the best records (SF, Hou) have to come to Foxboro.
2) The Pats lead the lead in scoring (262) and net Points (92)
3) The 30 touchdowns scored by the Pats are only two less than the total scored by Jacksonville, KC and Philadelphia have scored combined!!!
4) If the season ended today, the AFC division champs would be NE, Balt, Hou, Den and the two wildcards would be from Miami, Pitt and Indy…
5) The battle for the second seed vs Balt for the second bye. Balt’s remaining games- @Clev, Oak, H/A vs Pitt, @SD, @Wash, Den, NYG, @Cinn while the Pats’ remaining games are Buff, Indy, @Mia, @NYJ, Hou, SF, @Jax, Mia. The winning percentage of Balt opponents (29-30) is .491. while the winning percentage of Pats’ opponents (30-26) is .535. Obviously Balt has the head to head tiebreaker but we'll see how the injuries affect them long term...
6) I can't remember a team, any team going 6/7 in red zone possessions before....as the Pats did yesterday even in 2007..
7) The Pats are 5th in the league in passing with 291.1 ypg passing and 5th in the league in rushing 149.6 ypg.
8) In games in which Ridley rushes for 100 yards, the Pats are 4-0 and with over 700 yards at the halfway point, he’s on pace for one of the best season by a Pats RB since Corey Dillon’s 1635 yds, Curtis Martin’s 1487 and Jim Nance’s 1458* (14 games in 1966)
9) The Pats have been successful on 49% of their third down attempts (57/117) second in the league versus Pittsburgh’s 52%
10) The Pats are tied with the NYG in turnovers with a +13, (over 1.5 per game)
11) The Pats average 29 first downs per game, more than 4 more per game than the next best team Det (24.9)
12) The Pats have run 613 plays from scrimmage (76 per game), more than 11 more per game than the next best team (GB).
13) The Pats have 48 penalties ( 6 per game), 14th most in the league. Oakland is the 8th LEAST penalized team....
14) The Pats lead the league in rushing TDs (12) and have the second highest number of runs that result in first downs (30.4%) and the highest number of rushing first downs , 84.
15) 31.3% of Ridley’s runs result in a first down, highest among the leading rushers.
16) The Pats' rushing defense is tied for the league lead with 3.5 ypc (Mia, TB) and only giving up 88.6 ypg. The longest run they have given up is 20 yards and only one of them. Compared to last year, they gave up the 8th worst at 4.6 ypc and 10 runs of 20 yards or more (over the entire season, twice as long as this sample)
17) The Pats have only allowed 6 rushing TDs, 6th best in the league.
18) The defense has given up 42 passing plays of 20 yards or more, by far the league worst over the next team (35,NYG) and defense is only giving up 10 less yards passing compared to last year(281.1 vs 293.9)
19) To show how useless Time of Possession is, the Rams a TOP of 31:06 to the Pats 28:54. That's what happens when you play uptempo and score quickly...
20) At one point yesterday, after the Giants game but before Denver’s game last night, both Eli and Peyton had the same number of ypg passing 301.3

Re: Random Statistical Observations while waiting out a Hurricane
On point #10 it's almost an unfair comparison considering the Giants have played the Romo and the Cowboys twice. ... (plus the Eagles, Bucs, Panthers and Redskins).
Re: Random Statistical Observations while waiting out a Hurricane
One more thing to point out, NE leads the league in point differential with a +92 (Notable teams: Houston +88, Baltimore +13, Denver +52, NY Giants +73, Chicago +85, Green Bay +38, Atlanta +71, San Francisco +86).
