Interesting Piece re: Pats Pace for Historical Stat Dominance

[He Ban Me]

It just so happens that the Colts defense of 2004 does not even come close in comparison to the Patriots defense of 2007.

Well, honestly though, a lot of the focus has been on the offense. Of course, low point totals for the opposition help with the margin of victory. That is probably just as much a function of the largely inept QB's you have faced.

Your D-Line is certainly better at stuffing the run, But on back, I wouldn't say you guys are light years ahead. AT is a very nice addition, so I cannot ignore that. Luckily, it's OUR O that plays your D. In any event, am looking forward to this upcoming challenge. I'm just glad to be able to say that I actually now can look forward to seeing our defense on the field. There are some playmakers, and they are fun to watch. The nice thing is, Jax gives us a nice tune up to polish the run D, and although Carolina is a bit weaker than expected, Steve Smith presents a nice warm up for our secondary. As long as our guys are still standing after those two road games, I think we have a shot.

Tony Romo was good enough to beat the Colts last year.

I hardly consider Carson Palmer inept.

You should hardly talk about the lame ass offenses the Colts defense have played this year. The Colts defense have faced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans without their best running back(s) and the Houston Texans and the Denver Broncos without their best wide receiver. Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans wide receivers do not scare anyone in the NFL and the New Orleans Saints offense did nothing their first four games of the 2007 NFL season.

extrapolated numbers

Wins, 16 (currently 15 by three teams)
Points, 613 (currently 556 by 1998 Vikings)
Point differential, +23.0 PPG (currently +19.8 by 1962 Packers)
Touchdown passes, 56 (currently 51 by 2004 Colts)
Touchdowns, 77 (currently 70 by 1984

Moss was on that 98 vikings team with carter yes.....hmmm.

but really, nobody sets season long records after week 6. If they come, fine. If they don't, fine. As long as we're playing in february, i'm good.

2007 Pats: 230 points in 6 games.

Compared to:

1990 Pats: 181 points in 16 games.
1991 Pats: 211 points in 16 games.
1992 Pats: 205 points in 16 games.

Granted those teams were awful, but outscoring those teams in just over one-third of the amount of games in nuts.

Attended a few of the '92 games, and they were awful but loveable. It took the Pats 10 games to get their first win, against Indy and they only had 2 wins all year. We had Scott Zolak at QB in one of those wins. I don't know why we didn't keep him, instead of drafting some guy named Drew......
