First downs

DrGuile · 10-01-2003

But does it really say all that much?

Isnt W-L the only stats that really matter?

Just for example, a team that gets a major lead in the first half will always give up a lot of first downs when they switch to a Prevent defense, etc...

It always makes me laugh when they pull stats that show team that run for a 100 yards or more in the game win very often, and vice-versa.

Well DUH einsten, when a team gets a lead, they will pound the run until time runs out. While if they are loosing, they will go to the air and abandon the running game.

Is it "Teams that run wins" or "Team that are winning, run"
