Football outsiders released their defeat numbers for last year: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2017/2016-defeats

A defeat is:

A tackle that results in a loss of yardage, including sacks.
Any play that results in a turnover, including tipped passes which are then intercepted.
Any tackle or tipped pass that leads to a stop on third or fourth down.

And no surprise, overall Khalil Mack and Von Miller were the best players last year.... except that there were two Bills in the top 5 because their run defense was feast or famine. Their run D was like Barry Sanders. If they didn't get a stop behind the line, they averaged giving up 5.6 yards per carry.

The giants also had the top CB and top safety while Aaron Donald and Suh topped the list for non-edge rushing linemen.

On Setting the edge they put up a piece on how often sacks killed drives last year. http://settingedge.com/sackskilldrives

84% of the time a sack kills a drive.

34% of the time a team recovers from a 1st down sack
19.5% on 2nd down
3.5% on 3rd.

and also a breakdown on how the sack distance affects that. Turns out a short sack on first down isn't that big of a deal.

Also, over the last decade, how often your team wins or loses by double digits:



They also are going through and doing decent writeup previews for each team. The Norths and Easts are done and the Jaguars just went up:

Yeah, I just took a look by year:

wins / losses

'07 - 8 / 0
'08 - 4 / 3
'09 - 9 / 3
'10 - 5 / 2
'11 - 1 / 9
'12 - 2 / 5
'13 - 6 / 5
'14 - 9 / 4
'15 - 1 / 4
'16 - 3 / 4

So really good until Peyton got hurt,that one Luck year where everything was clicking, and pretty bad otherwise.

My QB is also named Bort

quote:

The team drafted Leonard Fournette of LSU in the first round to hopefully give them a bell cow running back, but the fit isn’t great there. The team finished 20th in TFL percentage last year, a reflection of their first-level run blocking, and Fournette isn’t the type of back who can make something from nothing. Against quality competition, Fournette was tackled in the backfield more than twice as frequently as Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey and significantly more than the likes of Ezekiel Elliott and Derrick Henry.

tmz says mike floyd tested positive for alcohol

quote:

A court rep tells us Floyd blamed the positive tests on Kombucha -- a fermented tea that contains a very low amount of alcohol. Typically, Kombucha contains equal or less alcohol than a non-alcoholic beer.

The issue for Floyd ... his alcohol tests all came back showing a B.A.C. of between .044 and .055, which would be hard to do on Kombucha alone. He also skipped one of his breath tests altogether.

...

Floyd denies any wrongdoing saying, "Totally false. The whole thing is false."

Despite his claims, the Scottsdale City Court records show he's due in court on June 26th for an "Order to Show Cause" hearing.

Yea, but don't think Cook or McCaffery would be any better behind your line. They're both shiftier than Fournette, but nobody would have done well against Alabama in those games with the way they were dominating LSU's line. I just don't think it's a particularly meaningful stat for comparison.

The Ringer has a piece up about how tanking might gently caress up the NFL: https://theringer.com/nfl-tanking-nightmare-new-york-jets-cleveland-browns-competitive-balance-6c9f3937811b

quote:

An NFL with multiple teams tanking at once would be a dystopian future in which playoff spots were determined, at least in part, by what teams in what division were tanking in a given season. If, for instance, the Jets tanked this year, and the Bills, starting up their new post-Ryan-brother regime and wanting a clean slate, did as well, the Dolphins, with four easy wins, could be nearly halfway to a wild-card spot without even playing a competitive game.

gently caress no. Kombucha makes your breath smell like a recycling bin in the summer.

Also he's a fuckin' alcoholic, he was actually trying to drink Kombucha to get buzzed. He might be too dumb to know that they're testing for alcohol and not liquor.

The existential worry here is not about bad football; you’re going to get that with the Jets whether it’s intentional or not.

The writer seems to really hate the Jets...or is a long-suffering fan, not sure which.
