In advance, this post does not have an opinion its just raw numbers for fan enjoyment/analysis. Enjoy.


 
Thank you for compiling this data into such an organized format to easily read through.

No problem. I like going behind the W-L record to analyze team performance.

A few takeaways regarding the offensive numbers is the offense needs to get to the red zone more often and score more TD's when in the red zone. To help with this, the yardage gained on 1st down needs to drastically improve.

Also, no revelation here but the rushing numbers are very bad and if they don't improve I don't see the scoring output getting a lot better moving forward.

Additionally, most people discount field position with this offense but being in the +100 ranking for field position does not help with the bottom line - points.

Those were the things that jumped out at me as we all already know we need to score more points with this offense to win.
 
Ironically, until our offense becomes more efficient, we're just the type that a Tampa 2 defense loves to contain. We gain lots of yards, but we don't sustain drives the length of the field.

Near dead last for average field position. That helps to explain some of the discrepancy between scoring average and yards average. The 3rd percentage is our saving grace at the moment.
