top passing yard teams:
1 Indianapolis Colts
2 San Diego Chargers
3 New Orleans Saints
4 Houston Texans
5 Green Bay Packers
6 Dallas Cowboys
7 Denver Broncos
8 Washington Redskins
9 Philadelphia Eagles
10 New York Giants
11 New England Patriots

colts and saints passed 75 and 55 more times than we did, we had 37 less points than the next lowest on the list, and our QB rating was 78, the next lowest was 85.3 for the gints. our completion % was 57.7, tied with the broncos, the rest were all 62 or better.

btw, the chief threw 366 times (to our 305) and finished 31st in passing yards, so no, it's not super inflated cause we were behind, and QB was the WORST part of our passing game (low QB rating, low completion %), so the passing game DID NOT suck, was NOT overinflated due to being behind (though that would increase the yardage some, plenty of crappy teams did far worse).

the lack of winning had to do with the 18.9 ppg (25th), QB rating of 78 (22nd), 46 sacks (5th highest , or 27th best at protection), and the 57.7% completions (23rd).

All stats from nfl.com under 2010 passing offense if you need to verify, but they're not lying here. passing O was good despite crappy QB play and bad blocking.
