How are there so many answers after this?... 

 

Who cares about anything but winning? The patriots become what they need to be to win each year. Let’s do that.

% of converting first downs on 3rd & 1 and 4th & 1 by running the ball.

 

I want an offensive line that can't be stopped on the ground when needing to gain 1 yard.

Not losing. Better yet, tying. I want to be the first team to go 0-0-16.

If you could build a team based on end-of-year rankings of both offense (rushing and passing) and defense (rushing and passing), what would your preferred team be the best at?

Hypothetically, you were allocated 35 "points" for each side of the ball, each point is a league ranking, and they all had to be used. For example:

OFFENSE:

Passing: 5th

Rushing: 30th

5+30=35 points. Same goes for defense. How do you want your team to look? I think all of us want a stronger passing game than a rushing game, but are you okay with giving yourself one of the worst rushing games in the league? 

On defense, do you stop the other team's passing game totally, but get run on all day? How does game situations effect this? If you're getting run on all of the time, they will control time of possession and have your offense less effective.

Personally, I would go something like:

 

Offense:

Passing- 8th

Rushing- 27th

 

Defense:

Passing- 12th

Rushing- 23rd

 

The offense is still able to move the ball well through the air and can convert 3rd downs on short yardage situations on the ground, and can slow down the other team's passing game well enough to keep the game from becoming a track meet. I would hope to be able to stop the run better, but they still can slow the other team down well enough.

1st in scoring Offense

 

1st in scoring Defense.
