Those Games Giving Up 21+ Points are Postseason Killers!
I have to agree with Stamos, though our average in points allowed per season is low, I have researched and found out that they have many games over the last 2 seasons alone (14 games), where they allowed at least 21 or more points in a game. This being one of the correlations to loosing the games against .500 and over teams through the last 4 years.
Using the teams at the start of this thread for reference and adding NE...
This is the short and sweet report otherwise continue through the stats over the last 4 years:
Phili had 15 games giving up an avg of 25.25 ppg (record 7-8)
Tampa had 17 games giving up an avg of 27 ppg (record 3-14)
Miami had 23 games giving up an avg of 27.7 ppg (record 9-14)
Balt had 24 games giving up an avg of 28 ppg (record 9-15)
NE had 27 games giving up an avg of 27.2 ppg (record 8-19)
Pits had 28 games giving up an avg of 27 ppg (record 8-20)
It looks IMO, that the seasons that these teams had 6 or less of those games giving up an average 27 points or less, they have a great chance to make the post season. Otherwise you better have a high power offense to compete.
The long version......
Miami has an avg ranked defense of # 5.25 in the last 4 years in points allowed. In that time they have given up 23 games of 21 or more points (record in those games are 9-14)...
03'(10-6)= 7 games (avg 24 ppg), the other 9 avg 9 ppg; record 3-4.
02'(9-7)= 7 games (avg 29 ppg), the other 9 avg 11 ppg; record 2-5.
01'(11-5)= 7 games (avg 26 ppg), the other 9 avg 12 ppg; record 3-4
00'(11-5)= 2 games (avg 32 ppg) the other 14 avg 19 ppg; record 1-1.

00'(11-5)= 4 games (avg 26 ppg), the other 12 avg 12 ppg; record 2-2.
Pit has an avg ranked defense of # 10 in the last 4 years in points allowed. In that time they have given up 28 games of 21 or more points (record in those games 8-20).
03'(6-10)= 8 games (avg 30 ppg), the other 8 avg 11 ppg; record 1-7.
02'(10-5)= 9 games (avg 28 ppg), the other 7 avg 13 ppg, record 3-5-1.
01'(13-3)= 4 games (avg 24 ppg), the other 12 avg 10 ppg; record 2-2.
00'(9-7)= 7 games (avg 26 ppg), the other 9 avg 8 ppg; record 2-5.
NE has an avg ranked defense of # 10.25 in the last 4 years in points allowed. In that time they have given up 27 games of 21 or more points (record in those games 8-19). They have made it to the SB 2 in that span.
03'(14-2)= 4 games (avg 30 ppg), the other 12 avg 9 ppg; record 3-1. Are in the SB...
02'(9-7)= 10 games (avg 27 ppg), the other 6 avg 12 ppg; record 3-7.
01'(11-5)= 5 games (avg 26 ppg), the other 11 avg 12 ppg; record 1-4.
00'(5-11)= 8 games (avg 26 ppg), the other 8 avg 15 ppg; record 1-7.
If you made it down this far, congratulations....:)
