CHFF: Pats are #6 on the Bendability Index

[JSn]

OK Numbers Junkies, how do you feel about the way CHFF measures stats?

I kind of like it. I think Division wins could factor a bit more, but overall it's neat to see the trends.

According to this we're #6 on their bendability index. Same as last year.

Cold, Hard Football Facts.com: The importance of Bendability & Scoreability

Excerpt:

The performance of every unit on a team has a direct impact on every other. Stats that don’t matter, like total offense or defense, do not reflect the interwoven fabric of a football team. Just ask fans in Kansas City. The Chiefs were No. 1 in the NFL with 6,192 yards of offense. In fact, they were the only team in football to generate more than 6,000 yards. But they were extremely ineffecient, scored 403 points, ended up in the lower half of the league on the Scoreability Index and missed the playoffs.

Unlike other stats, our Pigskindexes do reflect the intricate pattern of tightly woven parts that is a football team.

The most important aspect of these indexes for our purpose is that they have a direct correlation to winning football games.

In 2004, when we introduced these indexes, Super Bowl contenders New England and Philadelphia each led their respective conferences in overall efficiency (as measured by combined Bendability and Scoreability rankings). Super Bowl champion New England was No. 1 overall.

So what do you guys make of these stats? I think they're really interesting and show a pretty good picture of where our boys are at in terms of playing as team.

Related to this Sunday's match-up, you'll find the Bills way down the list at number 21.

Spookily, you'll see the Dolphins right behind us at #7.

CHFF made me feel better about that by saying this:

The undefeated Titans are No. 1 in Bendability Index. And of the top nine teams in Bendability, all but Cleveland and Miami are likely playoff contenders. We saw a similar trend last year (and in previous seasons) when seven of the top nine in Bendability played in the postseason.

I'm mostly rooting for a win for us tomorrow, but you can bet your monkey's uncle I'm rooting for losses for the Jets and Dolphins. And if any two teams can throw away games they should easily win, it's those guys.

Fins should have a walk in the park tomorrow. Seahawks are
nothing more than an intensive care unit.
They have more injuries than Baghdad Emergency Room.

It just happens to be the busiest emergency room in the WORLD!

Yeah that sucks.

Miami will win easily, the Jets could very well lose if Favre tries to force a few in a pretty good Rams secondary. The Patriots SHOULD win. Miami is the biggest threat to the Patriots in the division.

 

[Gwedd]

I dunno. I can very easily see Miami dropping the game to the Seahawks. Miami is winning some games this year, but they haven't gotten the attitude to go with it yet. They are c@cky, and strutting like a puffed up old rooster when they should be chewing a little humble pie.

The football gods don't like arrogance, and if any team can fall for a trap game, it's Miami just now.

Gunsy, you guys really cling to that. Enjoy it. In about 17 hours it will be a forgotten dream of what could have been, but will never be.

For all that you have going for you, Favre and Mangina are the Jets most fearsome foes.

My mother is a saint, thanks for reminding me I need to pop in on her.


If the season ended today the Jets would win the AFCE vis a vis they have the best divisional record.

I will cling to it, it's been 5 freaking years since the Jets have been in front of the Pats.

Nothing last for ever, enjoy while you can.

I don't think you could determine it because all tied teams have not
played the same number of division games.
