I'm just a caveman. These statistics frighten and confuse me!

My primitive mind can't grasp these concepts.

We good.  They were bad. 

[jmar]

We good.  They were bad.

I like stats.
And stats are a nice to look at cumulatively but at week 2 as in each week there are instances where one team anihilates another statistically only to lose on the scoreboard.

[Kaos]

His grades are arbitrary and made up to suit whatever narrative he wants. 

Intangible stats:

1) Have at least 15 fewer penalty yards due to uniform violations than opponent. (pass, 30 yards)
2) Have a player wearing the number 44 rush for the most yardage (pass)
3) Have an announcer mistake Rick Ross for Mr. T and do a really bad "pity the fool" impersonation. (pass)


While I admire his effort, I find little substantive value in his results. 

Fail.

Except he is consistent with what he considers to make up a statistically "good game". And has had the same criteria for years.

He doesn't go changing it mid-season to fit some narrative that we are good or bad beforehand.

It remains his opinion. 

And he adds/takes away criteria. 

I added a new category for red zone TD Pct this week. 

Why?  Did it skew the numbers in some manner?  Not saying I don't admire the effort, but as it is based on his opinion of what makes a successful effort the value is limited.

I'm not trying to attribute more meaning or weight in his opinion than is due.

But I do respect and trust an opinion based on consistent statistical analysis 100x before I trust just some goob at al.com "grading" certain facets of the game based on their "feelings".

All I'm sayin.

[CCTAU]

He uses too many numbers. I get confused.

I just like either a thumbs up or thumbs down!
