[QUOTE="ibeattetris, post: 961965, member: 1175"] Despite the "death march" meme the propagates any discussion of CPJ, the offense (when good) was very good in points per play. 2009 GT ranked 15th in points per play. 8th in points per drive. 2014 GT ranked 9th in points per play. 4th in points per drive. It is true that in points per play, a 12 play touch down drive is weighted "worse" than a 6 play td drive, but that is why things like FEI use both points per drive and points per play to derive efficiency. No matter what, you want a team that scores TD at a high rate, but in general, you want TD drives to be fewer plays as it reduces negative variance from penalties. Edit to add: There is also something to be said that if you are truly a better team on offense and defense, longer drives reduces the overall number of drives in a game. Reducing total drives increases variance. This is a good thing if you are worse, but not necessarily if you are better. Scoring fast and scoring often helps to maximize your true expected points.
