Care to give your reasoning for the increase in performance?

Not in the least. That is very sound statistical correlation analysis.

I was unpopular on SR for a while when I kept pointing out that the resort, the golf, the skeet shooting, the serious mental damage inflicted by the hideous floral wall paper, and the most important thing, the whiskey stills every 10 yards or so. It's a beautiful resort and countryside, but there's some really weird stuff going on over there that make Newalins Voodoo pretty lame looking - just sayin lol

It could be Greenbrier, or it could be...

1. Hiring Jeff Ireland to pretty much take over the drafting department.
2. Getting rid of Vitt and Johnson.
3. Hiring Glenn, Nolan, and Nielsen.
4. Signing Demario Davis and Alex Okafor.

The Texans trained there this past season and went 11-5. So there really isn't any correlation between the camp location and performance.

The camp location could have had an effect.
The Greenbrier (geographically) is located nowhere near New Orleans. Training camp gives players the opportunities to be near their families, hangouts, etc. There’s something to be said about having to work near familiar things. It’s a comfort thing. It affects some and it doesn’t affect others. Clearly it affected us.

The case had been argued so intelligently by others already that I felt there was little to gain by repeating their words verbatim.

And in response you ignored them and told us that superstition and luck are more significant. I feel you are not open to debate, rather you're fastened securely to your own predetermined belief. Have fun with that.

Companies, non-sports companies, do off-sites all the time. They spend billions to go away as an organization for "team building exercises". The effectiveness of these activities are up for debate, but it isn't a damaging activity to moral and/or productivity. There were so many other things that matter and factor into an NFL team's success to even really consider this as even a minor contributor to that less than stellar period.
