[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 878354"] This not a criticism of you; nobody does these stats correctly. Sacks are not included in those stats. Those are in fact pass plays. QB scrambles are pass plays but they get counted as runs if he crosses the line of scrimmage, otherwise sacks. Kneel downs count as runs when they should not be counted as anything at all. In short, teams call quite a few more pass plays than what these numbers indicate. To illustrate: The Packers threw the ball 573 times as shown in that chart. Add to that 36 sacks. How many of Rodgers' 46 runs were called runs? I think two, one sneak and one dive for a yard or two where it looked like he didn't care for any of his options. That would move 44 from the run to the pass column. That gets you to 573+36+44 = 653 pass plays. None of this counts plays where an offensive penalty was accepted and most of those occur on pass plays, but we'll leave that out. As far as run calls, we start by taking those 44 scrambles out of the run column. How many kneel downs do you think? Boyle alone had 5 carries for -7 yards, most or all kneel downs. Let's say conservatively there were a dozen kneel downs total for the year when you consider both the first half and the end of game. That gets you to a run play count of 411-44-12 = 355 Now you have a more representative pass/run play breakdown of 65%/35%. Where that might rank in the league I have little clue. Probabably not too far off the ranking in the conventional stats. But what this does show is how the conventional stats distort the picture of how often teams call passing plays, twice as often as runs. [/QUOTE]
