[QUOTE="GoPGo, post: 580687, member: 9064"] It's actually very simple. I don't have time to teach you basic statistical analysis (I'm sure there's a community college close where you can take a class) but all you need is two data sets. Convert each team's TOP to seconds for the first data set(x) and then put their defensive 3rd down percentage for the second data set(y). Then you run a Pearson Correlation Test and it will tell you, unequivocally, how much relation there is between the two sets of data. The fact of the matter is, for whatever reason, that 3rd down conversion % has little to do with overall TOP in the NFL and plays per drive has a LOT to do with it. Feel free to run the data yourself. There are dozens of calculators to do this. Another thing you need to keep in mind is how much no-huddle offense we play. How many no-huddle teams do you think have a high TOP when the goal of a no-huddle offense negates that? This deep concern over TOP that some have is so ludicrous within the context of what the Packers do I'm not wasting any more time on it. As I said before, some will look for ANYTHING to complain about. I would be willing to bet if we won the Super Bowl, there would be some people on this forum complaining about [I]something[/I]. Someone would complain about the other team having more yard on offense, or more sacks, or more first downs. Some people just can't be happy with a win. It has to be total and complete domination over every statistical category or we "didn't deserve to win and got lucky." [/QUOTE]
