Hi Brian; Excellent site. One request?! Is it possible to add your opass efficiency stat to your advanced box scores?Seeing how you have established that it's the most predictive? I believe you now are using adj. y/a ? Just curious why you are using it? thanks Bill
I agree with Anon. It'd be nice to have net passing yards per attempt in the advanced box score. Currently I go to ESPN to find those numbers, despite the fact that ANFLS persuaded me to value that statistic.
Brian; Could you clarify where you are at with 'fumbles' in your model?
1. I believe you established that fumbles are more predictive than fumbles lost so for your OFUM number is it: total offensive fumbles /total offensive plays?
2.Why have you taken out Defensive forced fumbles which you used to have in and established a high correlation ? thanks Dan
Regarding fumbles. I include offensive fumbles (either lost or not) in the prediction/ranking model. It is relatively heavily regressed to account for its high variability. My hunch is that it's probably totally random except for one component--QB strip sacks.
Defensive forced fumbles do not correlate within season from week to week, so it is excluded.

Brian;
What is your position on defenses forced fumbles?
Isn't this somewhat a sign of a strong defense?And somewhat repeatable?
Bill
Suggestions taken. I'll put them on the list.
