So this Vikings-Colts got me thinking about the definition of "garbage time" as used by the tweeter, which is win probability of 20-80%. I figured most of this game would have been considered garbage time and I was right (from 1:16 left in the 1st to 2:31 left in the 4th) even though clearly a lot of that was far from what we would think as garbage. 

So then I went back and checked the Panthers-Bengals game. Once you look at the win probability chart, it makes sense the Panthers fare as well as they do. Cause by their definition, "garbage time" started at 12:26 in the FIRST QUARTER. Literally all but the first 2 and a half minutes wouldn't have been used in the calculation for the graph in the tweet, as amazing as that sounds. Part of it is that the Bengals were so heavily favored given how bad the Panthers were considered at the time that they nearly had an 80% win probability from kickoff.

Good point and only needs a simple fix:

 

Garbage time only occurs in 4th quarter and still apply the 80%/20% rule.

      There is always  Bro we have eyes. They saw Sunday and they saw just one week before.  GWD is a weak stat to base a player grade on it should really be a team thing.  But at any rate we can all see how the QB plays each week. I don’t know why we even need stats at all to be honest. At least for these evaluation purposes. I mean, in GWD you have to look under the hood to make sure you aren’t getting sold a bill of goods.  They are fine for keeping records of yards and completions and points given and allowed and fumbles and so on.  For defense yardage is a bad indicator of rank for instance.  You can build a nice looking house of cards on yards allowed; if you play from ahead you are likely to give up more air yards than rushing. The farther ahead, the more air yards. For one instance. So what it it telling you? Not that you have a bad pass d all the time.

      Ehhhh Idk about that..... If our d core is healthy these guys wont face these kinds of crazy chances also keep in mind when the are all healthy they haven't all played together much to develope chemistry and experience in rods system.    People always want to blame goaltending but our scoring has dried up completely in the playoffs and we've lost many games we onlu allowed 2 goals or less with a goalie on the ice. Overcoming this adversity and scoring far more consistently both off the rush and designed plays so far this year has me hopeful.   Also keep in mind its very possible that we will be the most experienced team in the eastern playoffs our classic kryptonite teams of NYR, TBL and FLORIDA are struggling none are currently in playoff position
