PFF stats for you guys to mull over

[Snake]

We are a victim of poor scheme on both sides.

what is the 3rd down stat for defense?

thats on nfl.com for everyone to see. I believe we are 8th worst.

I am inclined to agree. Too many good individual performances for the team to suck as a whole.

[panther4life]

Averaging 14.5 missed tackles per game, which leads the out of all 32 teams.

where do you see that?PFF has us at 43 total year to date, thats 11.33 per game. I guess it does not matter because even at 11.33 per game we are still the worst in the league, pretty pathetic.

For comparison we missed 4.625 per game in 08

5 per game in 09

6 per game in 10

6.43 per game in 11

do this statistics account for us having a 50% higher sample size and raw quantity than thirty other teams we're being measured against?

would it not be 33% and no impossible to do so until week 3 is complete.

How the hell was Nakamura thrown at?

somehow he got lined up against v-jax week 1

the one game is 33% of the data population for our current stats, but that one category (game three) is fifty percent higher than the rest of the teams' current stats.

unless there's a metric for adjustment there is absolutely no point in measuring any of these until all teams have played. the data itself is fundamentally flawed

[PhillyB]

it's useful for measuring how our guys are looking as individuals (like seeing how many completions anderson allowed, etc.) but most of those raw numbers mean nothing unless contrasted against other equal data sets from around the league. literally nothing of substance can be extrapolated from this as a result

yuup. Been saying it for 3 games already....coaching.

[PhillyB]

not to poo on your thread, it was well-researched and presented... hopefully you can find the time to re-post after the MNF game when all the team stats have been updated.

[saX man]

I see more of the deficiencies from McD's Philly defense on this squad than the good things from Rivera's in SD

[Montsta]

The most telling is about our linebackers. It looks like basically all you have to do is throw it at whomever they are covering, and you will get a big gain. Explains why teams constantly convert third downs against us when in obvious passing situations. Our LB'ers can't defend the pass, or tackle after a catch has been made.

I thought Norman slipped and gave up a TD to Brees?
