Message: [QUOTE="nzm136, post: 2338398, member: 2531"] No. I said, "more points on way more drives is bad." There is a very strong correlation between your drives and your opponent's drives, and each of their drives is a chance to score. The converse is fewer points on way fewer drives is a good thing. It means you aren't scoring as much, but your opponent has far fewer chances to score. Pace is just an amplifier that punishes teams at a talent disadvantage because A) it leads to injuries and fatigue (mostly of your team because it leads to a smaller time of possession if the other team isn't fast paced), and B) because it minimizes the role of luck, which ignores talent. Tempo isn't good in and of itself, and failing to recognize that is dumb football. [/QUOTE]
