Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 2066602, member: 2585"] The question wasn't which team won more games (a tie). Since the question is which offense was better, I'd go with the one with more points, yards per play, [I]and[/I] overall yards. All of which were better in 2016 by a slim margin (except actual yards). (The 2015 team was more efficient by a slim margin, but played so slow that they either didn't take advantage of it's efficiency OR didn't have time to be exposed). I'd also openly question whether it's the job of the offense to set up the defense. I think that's kind of overthinking it unless you're in the last half of the 4th Q. The job of the offense is to score. There's no doubt that tempo tends to hurt the D. But using the same tempo-free stats to evaluate the offense, helps evaluate the D. And 2015's D was better in YPP.
