A somewhat neglected aspect of yesterday's game

Goats ... 446 yards
Falcons ... 378 yards
Panthers ... 441 yards
Tacks ... 455 yards

That's an average of about 404 or so yards per game and places us at 31st in the league. On top of that, we're allowing 3rd down conversions on about 49% of the attempts. That's also 31st in the league. It seems like we've been focusing and working a little too long on the defense to be performing at that level.

The truly frightening thing about those numbers is how much of it is on the ground while other teams are playing with a lead.
