That’s not accurate. The middle 11 weeks were top 10.No. What I'm saying is that the numbers are inflated by the three crazy great weeks at the end, and for the VAST MAJORITY of the season - even taking away the three bad games at the start that you want to ignore - they were league average at best in the Red Zone. I'm sorry - the numbers are what they are.
First 3 weeks - TERRIBLE
Middle 11 weeks - league average
Last 3 weeks - GREAT
The problem is that the middle section constituted the bulk of their games. If it was three similar-sized chunks of the season, you might have a point. But having three great weeks at the end that boosts your stats doesn't really capture how you performed for the vast majority of the season.
But that isn’t the point.
The point is after starting slow because of a rookie QB they improved and were #1 in the red zone the rest of the season.
You are trying to dispute that by removing the end of the season when they improved the most in that area.
In other words you are saying they didn’t become that good because you want to stop 80% of the way through.
There is surely no implication threat when you are the best over a period of time that you are the best each and every week of that time. If you think that’s the criteria then you don’t understand the nfl.
