The @Seahawks & @Broncos were both high in @SInow pre-season rankings. Biggest bust - Texans. Underrated - @chargers http://t.co/ht2sDpaEjR

@BaxFootballGuru Absolutely. A stats model will never be the whole truth. We can only try to get as close as possible!

@BaxFootballGuru @ErrolDyer @C4NFL Combination of passes defensed and sacks slightly better by our calcs. Best offensive stat: 1stD/game

[Real NFL Rankings @RealNFLRankings]

@BaxFootballGuru @ErrolDyer @C4NFL Top teams for sacks: Panthers (60), Bills (57), Rams (53). Useful stat but not foolproof

If you add passes defensed to sacks, these are top defenses in NFL - Cin (150), Ari (150), Kan (149), Buf (147), Bal (141). Worthwhile?

[Real NFL Rankings @RealNFLRankings]

Top defenses by yardage - Sea, Car, Hou, Cle, SaF. Top by sacks - Car, Buf, STL, NOr, NEn. Which is better indicator? Is there a better one?

Why do we need another NFL power ranking? Because opinions are like rear ends - everyone has one. Use stats instead http://t.co/XPkpqeo1T6

[Real NFL Rankings @RealNFLRankings]

Is 1st downs/game good indicator of potential performance? 1 Den (27.0), 2 Det (23.5), 3 SaD (23.4), 4 NEn (22.8), 5 Was (22.1), 6 NOr (22.0
