In 1969 BFL teams passed for 54,185 yards and had 319 passing TDs, or 169.9 yards per TD. NFL averages for the past decade have been in the area of one passing TD for every 155 yards passing so we're off a bit there.
Rushing produced 261 scores on 28,966 yards, one TD per 111 yards, which is way higher than the NFL where it generally takes 147 yards of rushing to produce a TD.
Overall we produced 590 TDs, or one per every 140.9 yards of offense, where as an expected total, based on NFL numbers, would have produced 640 TDs
So our offensive yardage totals appear to be generating TDs at an acceptable rate last year so once we start to get the return and defensive TDs in line we should move closer to the NFL TD rate .
All in all it looks like things are moving in the right direction.

As you know I still think that one of the SIM's current weaknesses is the lack of touchdowns . I know that Chris is working on this but some statistical data is in order after the end of another year.In 1969 BFL teams passed for 54,185 yards and had 319 passing TDs, or 169.9 yards per TD.

I wonder if the rushing vs. passing discrepancy has to do with the default Red/Gold zone strategies? I think the default Gold zone is heavily tilted toward the run.--Chris

Can we get numbers on TDs broken up by length? (like how we have for passing completion)

I store those as I go, I can't (easily) just query that data.

You are viewing the raw post code; this allows you to copy a message with BBCode formatting intact.
I used the default Gold Zone strategy this past year and scored 27 rushing TDs on 1808 yards, one per 70 yards, as opposed to an almost statistically impossibly low 17 TDs on 4286 yards passing, one per 252 yards .

Found a huge part of the problem with defensive TD's, interceptions in general have dropped 50%.--Chris
