The table in this post is based on per play efficiency, and is calibrated to be predictive rather than explanatory by reducing the weight of less consistent aspects of play--primarily turnovers.Brian Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371470711365236987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-21418552322145621152011-12-06T19:16:59.355-05:002011-12-06T19:16:59.355-05:00I'm confused by the disparity between O and D ...I'm confused by the disparity between O and D rankings in the visualizer graphic and the team rankings. Houston had the #5 oEPA & #4 dEPA, but is ranked #4 O and #1 D in the team rankings. It would be nice if the two charts displayed the same information.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-32551651994383491782011-12-06T12:09:54.018-05:002011-12-06T12:09:54.018-05:00I really enjoyed the comments this week.
It'...I really enjoyed the comments this week. <br /><br />It's particularly fun to read about how objective ranking systems like this differ from a more intuitive sense of reality, and why, and what the differences say about the weaknesses of our intuition and the weaknesses of the system's rules. Fun stuff. I also feel like I'm babbling, so I'll shut up.<br /><br />--hoptoadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-90697814563006264732011-12-06T11:29:51.384-05:002011-12-06T11:29:51.384-05:00New motto for the NYG: we lose well!New motto for the NYG: we lose well!Independent Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14559237565237736636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-73684066512188308132011-12-06T10:30:02.401-05:002011-12-06T10:30:02.401-05:00I would actually argue that it IS surprising that ...I would actually argue that it IS surprising that the Packers D is a problem. They were one of the top 3 defenses last year, so it actually made sense that they focused on offense in the draft.Ryan Wangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834372470120854287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-12380431986516959412011-12-06T10:28:33.045-05:002011-12-06T10:28:33.045-05:00Saints' stupid losses to the Bucs and Rams are...Saints' stupid losses to the Bucs and Rams are looking very costly as it's now looking pretty likely they'll have to go play the 49ers' outstanding defense on their terrible turf. Would still favor the Saints because they are a better team, but it'll be tough. Shame, too, because if Rodgers doesn't get hurt the Packers will beat the 49ers by two scores in the NFCC, should it come to that. Saints/Packers would be an outstanding game, especially given NO's improved run SR, and short yardage and red-zone running cost them the game at GB.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03886688819466931370noreply@blogger.com
