I can't believe how many of you take it as a serious statement. As I showed in a different thread last week, Herm's teams have scored over 30 and even over 40 points many times in his career as a head coach.

Last year we scored 21+ in 7 games, 6 of which were wins. We were 3-6 in games where we scored under 21.
The numbers still hold up. You're much better off scoring 21+.
Including this season Herm has coached 99 regular season games. His teams have put up 30+ and 40+ points at this rate:
2001: 0, 1
2002: 4, 2
2003: 2, 0
2004: 3, 1
2005: 1, 0
2006: 4, 1
2007: 0, 0
I'm off by two games somewhere, but Herm's teams have been about 29-11 at 21+ and 22-39 when under 21. Remember that most of those games were in a bad, bad AFC East. So Herm isn't immune to the formula.
