It would be ineteresting to see some sort of chart that either tracks total points scored per year; or average passing yardage over the last 15 years. With a bullet point that indicates when certain penalties were either more strictly enforced etc.

Total wild assed guyss, but I would think there would be a fairly large and rapid inrease in those averages beginning in probably 2004.

Like Rainman, I'm almost to the point where he is. Hell, I got NFLST for free this year and literally only 'used' it maybe once. I've probably caught a collective 60 minutes of the other prime-time games (which is 90% Manning). The NFL is really really disappointing me. I never remember it being so much of a story-line driven league - at least in terms of the games they hype. THey'd rather have 2 shit teams on national TV with an interesting back story than two good teams fighting it out.

This is the first year that I haven't thought "Man, I can't wait for X game this week". It doesn't matter. Game chagning penalties are occuring way too often each week, each game. Those penalties are the 'new' Kick Off Returns for TD.
