SRS thru week 3

[Evil Hurney]

With 3-weeks of data teams are starting to form identities that show up in statistics. Obviously three games is a small sample size, but I thought it would be interesting to visualize the simple rating system (SRS) of each team's offense and defense. (source: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2021/index.htm)

SRS is a points-based metric that gives a measure of team quality vs average (0); Higher is better. It DOES take into account the quality of opponent.

Based on SRS, the Panthers have the 2nd best defense through three weeks and a slightly above average offense (shown below). We are also in the top-right segment of the chart which is where good teams live. I'm excited about the early results. 

The visualization also shows that our Panthers will have a good test of their defense when they square off against Dallas who is currently sporting the 2nd rated offense according to SRS. On the plus side, the Dallas defense rates below the Panthers three previous opponents.

Projected Score
Panthers 30
Dallas 22

Chargers offense score is really surprising to me.

The Chargers are 20th in points scored. Their opponents this season are 29th, 13th, and 32nd in points allowed.
Put another way:
- they scored 20 against WAS, who allowed 29 and 43 in their other games
- they scored 17 against DAL, who allowed 31 and 21 in their other games
- they scored 30 against KC, who allowed 29 and 36 in their other games

Those kind of results will lead to a points-based metric really disliking your offense.

I like how those idiots are called Football Team, it's like for punishment for being racist they get to be default. Should just leave them as Football Team for their generic ass asses. Don't even deserve a name.

I think they should lean into it - it's actually a pretty cool name.

Well I am not the type to get my panties in a bunch over not agreeing with something so we just disagree then /shrug

I think they should lean into for the opposite reason haha.

I like it too. Very European football-esque. Not that these yokels would appreciate that. But they should be referred to as "Washington" not "Football Team", especially in graphs like this.
