If the Rams can score 26 this Sunday they'll improve their PPG to 18.0. And they'll actually probably be outside the bottom 6 in scoring... 26 is a good number to shoot for in this game. Two TDs, 4 FGs.

Take the last 2 games and offensive points only. THat's 39 points total and 19.5 per game. Which is still not great but then it would rank 23rd. Not last.

Well, zn...

If frogs had wings, they could fly. Lol.

Unfortunately, that Niner game IS very much a part of our season stats.

We get your point, of course. But what if every team could cherry pick their best 2 of 3 games and then rationalize? Would render all stats kinda meaningless, huh?

They have a bad game and then improved. That's possible right? If that happened, would you want to deny it? If so, why?

And if they did improve...then obviously, the raw undigested averages are not telling you the truth.

It's a matter of doing good analysis, and if that's real then good analysis factors it in.

If they had one bad game and improved after...and maybe even BECAUSE...of it, then the lie would be pretending that didn't happen.

For one thing the average in the last 4 games of 2015 was 19.25 points on offense only (ie. no defense points factored in). 19.5 is right in keeping with that.

That suggests it is their real norm.
