Favre: Sendin' D*ck Pix, Throwin' Pick Six Shirts from Zazzle.com
Bummed they're not playing out here this time 'round.... or I'd be there for sure!
Vikings have Moss high powered offense they have a losing record 2-4
Patriots dink and dunk 5-1
Proves football is not always about stats.
Why is it so odd?
Since when does 'high powered offense' automatically equal wins?
If anything, it just shows that fantasy football has effected the perception on football fan's minds of what teams are good and which ones are not so good.
If you need further proof consider this: look and see how many people are whining about the Pats "dink and dunk offense"; then look at the stats and see what team is leading the league in point per game.
Need further proof? Look at the top stat leaders in passing yard per game, and their team' records:
334.9 - Philip Rivers -- 2-5
319.3 - Peyton Manning -- 4-2
313.2 - Tony Romo -- 1-4
305.7 - Kyle Orton -- 2-5
289.9 - Drew Brees -- 4-3
283.2 - Carson Palmer -- 2-4
263.0 - Aaron Rodgers -- 4-3
256.3 - Matt Schaub -- 4-2
251.6 - Donovan McNabb -- 4-3
247.2 - Jay Cutler -- 4-3
246.5 - Eli Manning -- 4-2
244.9 - Matt Ryan -- 5-2
242.2 - Ryan Fitzpatrick -- 0-6
242.0 - Chad Henne -- 3-3
That's the (statistically) top 14 quarterbacks. Their teams are a collective 43-47. Only one is on a team with one of the top six records. Four of the eight worst teams are represented on that list.
