That's not what you said. I responded the way I did because what you wrote originally was wrong. Anyways... So much here.

- Pace is an amplifier. That's 100% certain. We learned that last year when our yards increased, but our suspect defense had more plays to defend and it showed by giving up record numbers last season. Good teams scored more than they would under a meathead O/D.

- But tempo also = more chances. More chances to score = more chances to win. You combine that with an increased propensity to go for it on 4th down (more than your opponent) and you get even more chances to score.

- This season, our D is middle of the pack - with more plays defended. This means while both teams get more chances, having our D get more stops swings the whole thing even in our direction.

- The injury/fatigue issue can and is actively being addressed by the offseason S&C. You can train for tempo and we do. Not everyone does. Advantage, us.

- Luck? C'mon.
