There is still some work to be done here, and not all of the links work, but it should be enough to give you an idea of what the team pages are going to look like:

Hm. I'm going to go on record as saying that I like the general layout of the old pages better, that summarizes team stats in a table, similar to the team pages on baseball and basketball-reference. Or, for that matter, on pretty much any site that shows a football team's stats.
Aha! Now I see the Statistics tab. IMHO, I think that should be the first thing you see when you click on a team page, since that's the sort of information I think people look for first when they visit a team page.
One request I have, please include a legend of some sort. I know that and a '*' and a '+' indicate pro bowl/all-pro selection, but I don't know which is which without cross-checking.
Catfish, there will definitely be a complete legend and glossary. That stuff isn't nearly as fun to work on as the main page layouts, though, so it gets put off til later.
Jason W, the page definitely needs to be broken up or it will be too big. But you may have a good point that the "main" page ought to be the stat tables instead of the roster/summary page.
I agree that the stat tables should be the main page.
I also think the team header info (offensive ranks, point differential, etc.) is a little complicated to read.
On the old pages: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/mia2006.htm it looks so clean at the top.
Hey there, just want to say I use the site religiously, and look forward to the new site, whenever it is done. I had some ideas but wasn't sure how easy they could be to implement.
1) Progressive leaderboards .. I find myself browsing through these a lot over at baseballreference.
2) Single game leaderboards? This one would be difficult for sure.
3) Offensive/Defensive coordinators on team pages/coach pages. Every coach in the league used to be a coordinator of some sort so it would be nice to see where they came from, and how they did when they were not in a head coach position. Perhaps could have some college coach info in there as well.
Keep up the great work!
