That is what I was going to post. An big blunder to leave off that. Rogers has arguably had the greatest QB season ever and that only is apparent if you look at QB rating.

I never put much stock into QB rating. maybe that's a mistake on my part.
It is far from a perfect formula, but it does put weight into percent completion and interceptions vs. TDs. It better captures the performance of a QB better than the other stats. Really, Brees has to be penalized for throwing 14 Ints compared to just 6 by Rogers. Those extra turnovers can be huge.

At the same time Brees did throw 150 more balls than Rodgers and completed 125 more passes with nearly 1000 more yards

Rodgers didn't even play the last game and he easily would have broke or at least tied Brady's TD record and gone over 5K yards himself. How many times you throw the ball is irrelavent. It's what you do with those throws that counts. QB rating encompasses almost all of that.

every team is built around the QB. Its obviously all Brees

And Rodgers. I would say even more so than Brees.

IMO all about wins and losses so I said Belichick. Its not about coaches pretending they are playing a game of Madden with real players (Sean Payton)

Other - The Saints broke the all-time offensive yards from scrimmage record, previously held at 7,075 by the 2000 Rams. New record is 4,474. And with all the hype over Brees and the passing game, they still averaged over 130 yards per game rushing, good for 6th in the league.
To me, this is more impressive than any of the individual statistics. The Rams are commonly talked about as perhaps the best offensive team of all time but the Saints destroyed their record by what is essentially a whole game of offensive production for most teams.

I fail to see how scoring as many points as possible is somehow not conducive to winning.'Shane Falco said:

3 of the top ten scoring teams of 2011, failed to make the postseason..Eagles, Chargers, Panthers. Jets were 13th in scoring, finished 8-8.Bills were 14th.Cowboys 15th.Giants were 8th in scoring in 1986,won the SB that year..were 15th in scoring in 1990, won the SB that year.I fail to see how scoring as many points as possible is somehow not conducive to winning.'Shane Falco said:

So the recipe for winning a Super Bowl is to score less points? Hmmm......

Were any significant defensive records set this year?

No, my point is that he acts like a college coach. Its OK to call off the dogs once in a whilesee games vs- Indy, not to mention the end of the second Falcons game. He's playing to set records going back to when Brees almost broke the Marino record a couple years ago.Whatever, good for him but crap like that comes back to bite you.I fail to see how scoring as many points as possible is somehow not conducive to winning.'Shane Falco said:
