I came across a site you might be interested in:

The Salary Cap Research article is very interesting. Should spark some real debate about whether spending big on QBs and WRs will solve our problems.
The Final Regular season stats and six year trends are also interesting. Guaranteed to spark more debates.
I would like to point out two things:
1. Miami's offensive numbers had been steadily increasing during Wanny's first three years. Yards per play, % of drives ending in TDs, and pts per game all increasing. Last year showed a big drop-off. No surprise. What was surprising is that the drop-off seems to be tied more to the drop in effectiveness of the running game rather than the passing game.
2. 61% running on first down was not tops in the league last year. Bal ran on 65% of 1st down plays. It was also identical to the % in 2002. Several other teams with not far off:
Den - 60%
GB - 58%
Ten - 58%
Car - 57%
