Obviously, some stats are affected by clock management and situations (e.g. is it a blowout?). I am highly interested in how much football coaches at various levels and especially the NFL, may use "sandbagging" or other similar strategies to try gain a psychological advantage over their opponents. I have wondered if there is any way to analyze team statistics and find "hidden" trends and tendencies that might would reveal that something of this nature is going on. I am a big New England Patriots fan, and this season has been interesting on defense for us. For most the the season, we have been near the bottom of the league overall in defense, and especially with yards allowed. It has been infuriating and nerve-wracking to see offenses drive up and down the field on us, but then thankfully, we are one of the best teams in the league at generating timely turnovers. It is widely known that going into this season, we had a young defense that was still learning Belichick's highly complicated defense. While this is true, I just find it hard to believe that they can be so bad about letting teams go wild on them, but then they always make big turnovers. It could just be that NE is running a bend-dont-break defense, but I am thinking that this ineptitude may be planned. What would be the benefit of this? It may fool some teams in to game planning a certain way for us, and Bill with his extensive football knowledge will know how they will most likely game plan for the type of defense he has, which then allows him to counter-game plan, and ultimately leads to NE having a better chance of making the playoffs, where I think the the defense will suddenly "flip a switch" and come alive. I could be wrong, it is just a theory...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-42239989033931646182010-12-31T02:17:48.563-05:002010-12-31T02:17:48.563-05:00Ray Allen?
