Confusing at first, but interesting" is certainly confusing. I'd say almost indecipherable. Brian, could you explain it briefly? I have a feeling you'd do a better job than the author of that article.

Apart for having an "orgasm" over discovering that passing and scoring existed in the days of Don Hutson and Bob Waterfield, one just can't compare rushing rates in 1970 to later years without mentioning the rule changes of 1978 that so opened the passing game. In 1977 the run pass ratio was 60-40, it immediately went to 50-50, and after coaches got a chance to reinvent short passing to take advantage of the new rules it went to today's 45-55. IOW, *of course* the '70 Colts ran a whole lot more than today's. The real reason why they went 11-2-1 wasn't because they ran so much, it was because they played one of the weakest schedules ever, their opponents were 6 points per game weaker than this year's version. Equalize that and the '70 Colts are an estimated 9-7, or today's are a probable 8-3.Jim Glassnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-49991343007643265702010-12-04T09:34:23.512-05:002010-12-04T09:34:23.512-05:00Kiran--Sorry-they're at the NYT just like alwa...Kiran--Sorry-they're at the NYT just like always.
