An underlying factor that should be considered....

sxdxca : 7/1/2018 6:26 pm
The New York Giants offense from 2007-2017, over a ten year period, has averaged about 23.10 points per game.

However the question is, what has the defense done?

During that same period from 2007-2017, the Giants defense on average, has given up 23.06 points per game.

Which puts them at about a .500 win/loss percentage...

It is of note, that Eli Manning's career win/loss record, which is 119 wins to 107 losses reflects these numbers.

Putting him, and the team at a .527 career w/l percentage.

With that being the case, even if the Giants average 24 points per game on offense, with the additions of Barkley and a healthy Beckham.

If this defense continually gives up 24.3 points per game, like it did last year, it won't matter what the offense does, they will finish 7-9 or 8-8...

For the Giants to emerge as a playoff team, the defense must improve, and hold them to 20 ppg or less.

Feel free to discuss?

I am not sure if a 10 year average is really relevent

I suspect 2 years ago, the Giants defense was far better then 24 pts......going back 10 years will balance out the good and bad years.....we need both or for that matter all 3 phases must improve.

If Giants offense get better AND the defense....is only way the Giants get back to playoffs.

I have a good feeling that is possible

Can’t help.

The fact is the giants have had some shitty play for awhile.

How about we look forward to 2018 instead of the past.
Can’t put in any sort of context

Is your point that we need to score more points and allow fewer? Hard to argue with that analysis.

The reasoning breaks down when you project .09 gain on offense and say a -3 is needed on defense when a 3 point gain on offense and -.09 on defense would get the same result.

I think it is reasonable to think the offense will be better and the defense will also be better this year. That said, I agree with those who are simply waiting to see what happens and hoping for the best.

No player on defense has been with the team more than 3 years.

How is what happened 10 years ago at all meaningful to this team?

that a six year old would do and think he was on to something. Did you really just discover that scoring 24 points isn't the only way to win a football game? That maybe you just need to score more than the other team?

What underlying factor are you trying to discuss? It dawned on you that scoring more than the other team wins football games?

Your expression "is you will", is not a coherent sentence structure. So in the future, I would encourage you to think clearly before posting.

The correlation between offense and defense  
mavric : 7/2/2018 11:01 am : link
amounts to "time of possession". The better the offense, the more time they are on the field wearing out the opponent's defense. Likewise, when our offense is able to convert 3rd downs and regularly move the chains, it allows our defense to stay fresh and less prone to injury as they stand on the sidelines awaiting their turn to go on the field. The defense shines most brightly when they are not hanging onto their knees trying to catch their breath because the offense keeps going 3-and-out as has been the case in the last few years.

Actually it's not. If you would have done the research, you would have figured out why the teams W/L ratio over the past 11 years is what it is.

Especially when you compare this to the other starting qb's over that period of time in the Nfl who have a strong defense, just saying

mavric, first of all thanks for your contribution.

The only issue I have with this, is that in 2014 and 2015 the NYG's offense averaged 25 points per game.

But they were giving up 27 points per game on defense. so in that sense time of possession had very little correlation to there defense.
Are you fucking..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/2/2018 11:38 am : link
kidding us?

You don't research shit. It keeps getting pointed out everytime you misuse the term "research".

Laughable that you keep saying research. Laughable unless you're just a fucking troll.

If you did research, you'd know that the #1 correlation to W-L since 2000 (and probably before if the data was better) is team health.

But you don't research anything and state "facts" that are shitty opinions.

You may believe what you are doing is "research," but it isn't. Crunching numbers and trying to extract conclusions from that alone is meaningless. A team that gives up about as many point as it scores will likely have a .500 record? Everybody on this board would have suggested that without your analysis. It is like "analyzing" that people who spend time outdoors when it is raining are likely to get wet at a higher rate than people who stay indoors. It's shows nothing original or nothing common sense wouldn't tell everyone.

You are getting ripped on because you are overselling what you are doing. You are not doing research, you are stating the obvious.

At getting ripped plenty around here - avoid generalities (they're low-hanging fruit that is just too easy to discredit)

Unfortunately, after an extended period of sanity, BBI seems to have digressed to a mild form of the former "henhouse mentality". But take heart, I don't see "thread police" coming back.

If you do strongly believe in a point, don't expect forbearance and understanding. If you stumble, ever so slightly the wolves will pounce. Having said that, don't be discouraged, eventually you'll see the fruit of your thoughts ripen (and become part of the respected BBI knowledge).

LOL another thread where this guy thinks he's doing "research" but is really just posting the most basic statistics and stating the obvious. Can't wait to see what we get next!

Maybe he'll outline how many rush yards per game we had in the last 5 seasons and draw the conclusion that we need to be a better rushing team.
