Where's the killer instinct? | National Football Post
When an offense is coming off a season in which it statistically ranked No. 8 in the league, scored the seventh-most points and the fifth-most touchdowns, was second in the NFL in third-down conversion rate, and came within a play of moving on to the Super Bow—and featured a Pro Bowl quarterback, a tandem of 1,000-yard wide receivers, and a tight end destined for the Hall of Fame—it’s usually pretty difficult to find fault with such an assemblage.

Yards per Carry and Points per Drive | Football Perspective
I’ve written a couple of times about "yards per carry" as a key statistic to grade running backs. The usual argument in favor of using YPC is that a running back who rushes for 1200 yards on 300 carries is less valuable, all else being equal, than one who rushes for 1200 yards on 250 carries.

'Had a Bad Day' Team, Week 1 | ProFootballFocus.com
Decker earned a spot on this team with a career game. That is to say he had the worst game in his entire career. Dropping three balls is bad enough, but you factor in a fumble as well and you’re a shoe-in here. Joining him is Little, a man who we thought had put this type of play behind him. He hasn’t. With two drops on eight targets he remains an incredibly frustrating player.
