Some very interesting numbers in the article.  Basically he shows how outcomes of close games (7 point or less) can predict how many wins or losses a team can expect the next season.

 

it appears that the numbers would expect a steep decline from the Colts and a moderate one from the Vikings, with big steps from the Lions and Panthers in their stead.

Grantland has always done a good job at telling it how it is as where ESPN is just a crowd pleaser that panders to the big market audiences.

 

ESPN wouldn't dare say anything about Luck and the Colts declining because they know they will start to lose viewers.

 

This is one reason that some of the best sports news outlets are some of the little businesses (because they tell it how it is).

 

It's a shame, but that's just the way it is.

its not all on shula, but ya he will be a part of it.

I guess people have just totally forgotten about Rivera's game management the past 2 seasons. We need big improvements from him if we are going to win those close games that have continually eluded us in the past.

      Just worry about it next year.  Its that simple honestly.  its way to early to do what ifs.  I could see us trade/cut chuba and retain dowdle, I could see them let dowdle walk and go with Chuba/Etienne and Brooks, and I could see Dowdle and Chuba both stay and see what happens.  Hell, we still have 6 games left THIS season plus possible post-season...what if Rico or Chuba have an ACL tear or severe injury.  I DO NOT want that to happen, but stuff like that does happen.  Remember RB is the most injury prone position in the NFL due to the beating their bodies take so having some extra guys is never bad, just wish it hadn't come at the cost we paid to get him.

      I think it’s cool that no one can be really certain what the outcome will be.  That’s a lot of progress! This is a real opportunity for us, I’d be happy with a competitive game and thrilled if we sack up for a W.

      I could never found out who did the first surgery. That failed.      Nor who did the recent one.    Yiu can’t count on anything involving him. If it happens it’s a windfall at this point.
