We Offensive...

With the trade deadline a mere 20 days away, we here at the Blue Ribbon League Blog will be taking an in-depth look at each team's strengths and weaknesses.  We will be taking a look at overall Offense and Defense, and then break down positions.

Today we start with the Offenses.  The top 3 point scoring teams on offense are:

1. Fluffernutter     705
2. Roommates     595
3. Hurricanes      562.5

Not really any surprises here.  These were the last teams to lose a game, and are still ticking away.  Fluff's 705 points is remarkable.  Not only does the team have a 110 point lead on offense, but he is only 28.5 points behind what the ENTIRE Manti team has scored on the season.  If you break it down, Fluff is averaging 14.69 points/player.  His offense gets him out to a lead...and thus far typically keeps him far enough out in front to secure the victory.

The Roommates get the highest percentage of points from their Offense.  63.7% of the points the Roommates have scored have come from the Offensive side.  The Fluff are close behind, with 63.12% of their points coming from the playmakers on offense.  The league average is 56.5%.  The difference between the two teams, is on defense.  The Fluff are 5th in Defensive points, while the Roommates are 10th.

The Lowest Scoring teams on offense are:

• 10.  Riggins     428
• 11.  Manti      417
• 12.  Pretty Boys    385

Again, not much surprise here.  These three teams have had disappointing seasons.  Riggins traded for, then lost a starting QB to injury, the Pretty Boys continuously have players not play to their potential, and the Manti (who refuse to change their starters) have received solid contributions from the RB1 & WR1 spots...but next to nothing from their RB2 & WR2.

It is quite interesting  to see that the Fluff have outscored the Pretty Boys 705-385...that is 320 points for the readers who are mathematically challenged.  320 points over the course of 8 games is equal to 40 points per game...it is hard to compete when you are starting that far in the hole.  Heck even if you compare the Pretty Boys offense to the Roommates, they are giving up 26.25 points a game...OUCH.

So, how do the leaders maintain their spots?  How can the bottom dwellers climb up the ladder?  Stay tuned for our positional breakdown!
