Statman says that out of 48 non-touchdown producing drives this season that 47 of them have ended on designed passing plays.

Very interesting, doesnt show the whole situation, but still an interesting fact.

Hell, on 3rd and 1, we throw the ball, no wonder this number is this high

Great counterpoints to his statements fellas.



Nice to be able to see a thread where there's an ingelligent, rational, well-thought-out point/counterpoint approach to something in particular.

Spaz, you didn't forget to eat your Bledsoe Bits for breakfast this morning, did ya?

And some still wonder why I don't post anything with any football content anymore. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

I guess rooting for your QB through his struggles is verboten?



Hey statman, what is the NFL average? Stats can tell you anytrhing you want them to. Without a statistical "control" sample, they are useless.

Did you know, that teams trailing by 7 point s or less, with control of the ball, end the game on a pass play 99% of the time?


Interesting

I know from your articles and your posts that you do watch the games fairly well, so you see that we have a laundry list of ailments at the present time. That said, I'm wondering why you waste so much of your time and energy attacking one of the problems?

Looks to me like that's a captain obvious observation.

...

I painfully watched 35 minutes of the game over again last night, rewinding and replaying every play at least two or three times. (I couldn't take anymore than that...)

I saw a QB that time and again played pitch and catch against a seven man secondary laying low for the short passes ... and succeeding against the odds.

And on each play, as the game progressed you could literally see the protection falling apart as if it were a dam getting ready to break. Bledsoe clearly knew it and found himself releasing on patterns specifically to compensate for it.

I enjoy statistics, especially when I'm looking at individual sports like baseball. Football doesn't translate as well because it's a team game where only very occasionally a player can extend his power over the outcome.

Bledsoe and the Bills certainly had the statistical advantage at halftime on Sunday, but if you really, closely looked at the game it was clear we were never really in the game. Stats couldn't show that.

Captain obvious, no doubt. What statman fails to mention is was it third and inches or third & 52 ? (or fourth and...)

But I guess if he wants to be a knob and "sabremetricize" football, that's his right. We also have the right to laugh our asses off at him.

Realistically we all know that stats in football are an almost complete non-indicator of what really goes on. They're interesting to look at but you must always take them with a grain of salt. Sacks, rushing yards, passing yards, completions and everything else have to do with the team and not one person. There are so many variables involved in sports statistics that they cannot be used as valid basis for an argument. I think Bledsoe played poorly Sunday overall even if he didn't have drops. But he was 58% had the 4 dropped balls not happen he'd have been 68% which, statistically, is very good. We all watched the game and we know that even if he was 68% (which he rightfully should've been) he still didn't have a good game. On the other hand there were games that I thought he played well but had low completion %'s thanks to 4 drops here, 6 drops there, etc.. We really need to look at the whole game, not just Monday's box score. I stand by my theory of poor overall playcalling being the main reason we're not good right now. Add to that the fact that the players are flat out underachieving and you've got a recipe for disaster.

So speaking for myself, you're suggesting that for other teams then 98% (~ 47 of 48)of all their drives where they don't put the ball into the endzone is normal?

Gosh, ya think...
