[QUOTE="Ace, post: 542473, member: 9774"] As a newer member to these boards, forgive me if this has already been talked about but a stat that doesn't get talked about enough is defensive passer rating and it's coorelation to victories. I'm taking this from memory because i have looked it up before but I believe since 2000 only 1 (possibly one or two more feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) team has won the Super Bowl with a defensive passer rating over 80. Also, again if I remember right only 1 team has won the Super Bowl with a defensive passer rating higher then their opponents in the Super Bowl. In 2011 when the Packers went 15-1 while giving up the most yards in the league. Their defensive passer rating was 80.6 which ranked them 9th in the league. While the offense was spectacular that year, the defense, eventhough they gave up a ton of yards, was very opportunistic (led league in ints) to get the ball back to the offense. In 2010 it's not surprise that GB and Pitt finished #1 and #2 respectively in defensive passer rating both were in the Super Bowl and of course the Packers ended up winning. In 2002 TB finished with a 48.4 DPR while Brad Johnson put up very pedestrial number and they didn'thave a 1,000 rusher and Keyshawn barely broke 1,000 yards receiving. Oakland that year was also very good at 77.3. Seattle (63.4) finished an astonishing 11 points better in this category over the next closest team. Denver on the other hand finished at 17 (84.5) which would lead to an above posters point that the AFC in general was very weak. Not to say wasn't any good or didnt deserve to be in the Super Bowl because that would be foolish but the numbers don't lie. For me it's hard to look at whole numbers (total yards, total pts etc) as a guage for how good or bad a team may be. The numbers need to be broken down a little more to really get a guage of how good a team was. I think with our offense, all we need is a defense similar to the one in 2011 and we have a chance. They don't have to be 2002 TB, but they need to be better then this year when they finished 25th in DPR at 95.9. [/QUOTE]
