#1 is the 1950 LA Rams at 38.8 ppg (466 pts in 12 games).
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. The games in December tend to be low scoring because of accumulated injuries and weather. 2007 Patriots averaged 41.1 points/game for the first 10 weeks.
I don't recall the weather being the reason they slowed down in the second half. Seems like teams just figured out the offense.
If they didn't play 16 games, I don't count them. That's an entire month less of games to maintain an average.
You should call the NFL offices and tell them that no seasons before 1978 count and they should change their record books.
I'm sure they'll listen.
Give me more Bell Cow.
I don't like this at all.
Scoring that much never seems to translate well in the post season.
Just think about how many high scoring offenses were held to under 24 when they lost in the playoffs
Losing Gronk for up to 6 weeks could have a pretty sizeable impact on their ability to put up 35+ ppg.
In the history of the NFL, only second to the 36.8 PPG of the 2007 Patriots.
Do you think there's a chance they surpass that mark?

Yes.
Your screen name and sig photo are kind of disturbing. Are you OK?

For many statistical purposes, only games after the merger are counted.
That means they only need to hang 47 on the Jets Thursday to be ahead of pace.
Also one more thing I have been thinking since I first read this thread last week: I have a pretty good feeling that we are not as close to the '07 teams scoring prowess as we think we are. Simply on memory Im pretty sure we have scored way more non-offensive TDs this season than in '07. I have a feeling that if we were to calculate offense only TDs the gap between this year and '07 would be larger, although not by much. This would further emphasize the point that '07 offense was one of a kind.
