[QUOTE="warhawk, post: 113835, member: 431"] After seven games the numbers start to show how a team is stacking up against the rest of the teams in the league. I am not a big believer in overall rankings but individual catagories do paint a picture of either achievement or failure in critical phases of the game. The reason overall rankings don't thrill me much is they do not always tell the story. SCORING OFFENSE for example. We are ranked somewhere in the middle at 21+ points per game. However, throw out the shutout in the first game and we have averaged over 25 per game since and in the top five. Some of these will surprise you. DEFENSE: Rushing yards per game: RANK-10th Rushing yards per carry: RANK-10th (3.7) Longest Rushing TD: RANK- 4th (23yds) Interceptions: RANK- T6th Sacks RANK- t2nd (22) OPPOSING QB Comp % RANK- 8th (57.4)*** OFFENSE: Yards per Game: RANK- 9th (347yds) Passing yards: RANK- 8th Rushing yards RANK- 11th 1st Downs RANK- 5th (20pg) INTERCEPTIONS THROWN RANK- 10th (5)***** Completions per game RANK- 7th (22pg) SACKS ALLOWED RANK- 3rd (9)****** OBSERVATIONS There's not many living and breathing football fans, analysts, experts, or other that would have EVER thought the Green Bay Packers would be in the top ten in both interceptions by Favre and Sacks Allowed. NO WAY! I have heard many say here that the reason for the low sacks allowed is the added help by TE's and the schemes which is true. What I find that is not true by these numbers is that this added protection COSTS us productivity in other areas. We are one of the MOST consistant teams in the NFL in passing and rushing yards gained ranked 8th and 11th respectively. These are pretty impressive numbers guys. We are in the upper tier in many important areas. MM has these guys believing in what they are doing and they are learning what it takes to win in the NFL. I like what I see so far. That's for sure. If we can maintain numbers like we have in the first seven games we have a great chance of more "W"'s. The BIGGEST number of all. [/QUOTE]
