We need to put these fine statistical minds to work. Nonstop, for example, asked in the thread I started (see sticky-- "A measuring of the interest") why I had not "assigned" him a "job". I would LOVE to do that, but imo, that is not my place to be force - feeding anyone anything. I HAVE hinted, HEAVILY, that some should VOLUNTEER... We need a capologist, for EXAMPLE...the ENGINEEER, MATTRESELL, and NONSTOPDRIVEL---- You have to VOLUNTEER, though... did I mention there is a sticky about this?

The main issue with anyone volunteering for the Capologist job is that the info is extremely difficult to find. I asked Andrew Brandt if he could point me in the direction of teams' overall cap figures and he said he's still gathering all the info himself, to be released on National Football Post early in the offseason. That's about all we can hope for, but to get info on how much of a cap hit we would take by releasing player X or what Jennings' cap number will be if he reaches certain incentives would be nearly impossible.

Then you are both found guilty and must hang. :thumbleft: I have the stats to this point, and the volunteer would be compiling them in an acceptable format for all to be able use and discuss. An excel spreadsheet expert is needed, imo. Where we are in the cap is an awesome vehicle for discussion and holds ramifications in everything we do. If nobody will take it, I will, but I think the end-product would be better if someone with a better statistical skill-set than I would accept the challenge.

Edit--

OR, how about this? I post our team's cap info here, and let you guys manipulate it into a more useful format for use by whoever the capologist winds up being? I guarantee one thing, you will have plenty to play with stats-wise!

^^^That sounds like a good plan. Once everyone has the data, they can manipulate and analyze it in any way they please.

It makes me sad that this thread never made it past Christmas Eve. Now that the season is almost over, I think this thread could make for an interesting retrospective.

And so, because I am a stubborn cuss who is convinced a good rushing attack must contribute to team success, I decided to check the correlation between rushing yards and winning percentage. My jaw literally dropped when I saw the correlation: a paltry 0.501!

In other words, there is virtually no substantive relation between a good running game and a winning record this season! Maybe all the experts who blather on endlessly how "good teams commit to the run" are flat-out wrong.

Well, duh. I could have told you that. :cyclopsani:

I have had statistic after statistic proving that there is no correlation between a good running team and winning. None. Zero. Nada. (How do you say no in German, nein?)

To my great surprise, it turns out that the correlation between rushing touchdowns and rushing yards is not at all compelling. While a correlation of 0.614 indicates some slight relationship, my analytical chemistry professor would give me an F if I tried to calculate an unknown concentration using such an abysmal correlation coefficient!

For psychologists that would be one badass correlation.

Mucky Tundra (16m) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (6h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (6h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (6h) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (6h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (6h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (6h) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (16h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (16h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (17h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (18h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (18h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (18h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (18h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (19h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (19h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (19h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (19h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (19h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (19h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (19h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (19h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (19h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (19h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (19h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (19h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (19h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (19h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (19h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (20h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (20h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (20h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night
