Packing The Stats: What’s bigger, Aaron Rodgers’ ascent or the Secondary’s descent?
In my last article I compared the defensive performance of the Packers defense (in regards to passing plays) against the average defense; for instance I compared the Packers defense against the New Orleans Saints to all other defenses who have played New Orleans at this point.
Today, I’m flipping the table and comparing the Packers passing offense against the average offense; so again for instance I will compare the Packers offense against the New Orleans Saints to all other offenses that have played New Orleans at this point. Since the Packers didn’t have a week 8 game, and since data on the Packers is most important (as this is a Packers blog), I’m only working with week 7 data. Again, Cmp is completions, Att is attempts, Cmp% is completion percentage, Yds is yards, TD is touchdowns, Int is interceptions, Y/A is yards per attempt and Yds/Pt is yards per point (essentially how many yards does the offense have to gain in order to gain a point? The lower the more efficient the offense is)
| Cmp | Att | Cmp% | Yds | TD | Int | Y/A | Yds/Pt | |
| VS OPP | ||||||||
| NO | 18.00 | 36.67 | 49.1% | 220.50 | 1.50 | 0.67 | 6.01 | 11.41 |
| CAR | 17.83 | 28.17 | 63.3% | 211.17 | 1.17 | 0.67 | 7.50 | 7.77 |
| CHI | 26.67 | 41.67 | 64.0% | 267.67 | 1.33 | 1.17 | 6.42 | 13.06 |
| DEN | 21.40 | 32.40 | 66.0% | 215.40 | 1.40 | 0.40 | 6.65 | 10.16 |
| ATL | 21.83 | 34.33 | 63.6% | 243.83 | 1.33 | 1.50 | 7.10 | 10.60 |
| STL | 17.80 | 32.60 | 54.6% | 208.60 | 2.00 | 0.60 | 6.40 | 7.10 |
