Statistics are a tool, not Scripture. People who understand statistics understand the limitations, and the value.

(and sorry for my interjection of mostly irreverent jibberish, although I am on to something with respect to my mean truncated linemen reference... if you don't believe me, go do a "pad level" count in MM's press conferences :icon_smile: )

I remember this same exact argument was brought up in 2005. We lost our first 4 games, 3 of them by 3 points or less. And then we blew out the Saints in week 5, giving us a positive point differential despite a 1-4 record. In fact, a +29 point differential despite the 1-4 record. And at the time, we had started 1-4 for like the 3rd year in a row and made the playoffs in both the previous years. So everyone was already buying playoff tickets. And what happened? We finished the season 3-8. And that's exactly why...

My point.. if we had played up to potential and capitalized on opportunities early in games.. we wouldn't have had to rely upon any freaking "luck" late in games.

So many times in games this season we got close to pulling off a momentum changing play on both sides of the ball.. we didn't seize the chance and lost late in the game.

Oh and these last couple weeks late in the games... IMO, you can see this team's lack of confidence shine.. they are just waiting to get beat. No luck in that.

I tend to agree with this statement and it's one of the reason why Pythagorean Records works so well in baseball, but has yet to be applied to football.
