I had another thought, though, and I don't know if it's been posted before:
If the Pats had won that game, would they have gotten Stallworth, Welker, and Moss in the offseason? Some of them? All of them?
For Pete's sake. I offered you the chance to just let it go. But you insist on somehow trying to bring your complete ignorance of the subject matter to light.
The entire point of a t-test is that the statistic is NOT normally distributed. Do you even know where the t-value in "t-test"...
Hehe. I was just reading about something like that the other day. Supposedly there's an evolutionary advantage to believing something has a "cause" even if it doesn't - like, it's less harmful to invent a link between two things that aren't linked than it is to miss a link where one actually...
Um, wow. I Googled "NFL Head Coaches Association" too, and I can't find any reference to it except in relation to Madden and Belichick. Does it actually exist?
There's an "NFL Coaches Association," but it seems like more of a union effort for assistant coaches, not something that every head...
Personally I would trust footballoutsiders.com over Faulk:
NE Pass Offense: 80.0% (1st)
IND Pass Offense: 54.9% (2nd)
NE Rush Offense: 17.4% (4th)
IND Rush Offense: 31.0% (1st)
NE Total Offense: 49.0% (1st)
IND Total Offense: 42.8% (2nd)
Not sure how it's calculated exactly, but it's...
I think you're not supposed to average single-game pass ratings, since it sets the # of passes per game equal. I think you're supposed to do total completions, attempts, yards, TDs, INTs from all games and calculate from that (but you'd have to leave out games vs. Colts and Pats to get to what...
I think stopping ALL of them would be a good idea.:)
Seriously, though, I think Addai is going to be most dangerous if the Pats fall behind, for the reasons you stated. If the Colts fall behind by a lot, conventional wisdom would probably say that they'd go to Addai less.
So I think the...
You're absolutely correct - a sample is a representation of a "population," and the population in this case means (in the strictest, most theoretical sense) an infinite set of drives by the Patriots under the same conditions (opponent, personnel, game situation, starting position, etc.). If we...
Yes, after it was clear you came onto the board, ignored my response (posted elsewhere), and couldn't "back up" your claim. And somehow, being called out for posting BS entitles you to ad hominem attacks...right.
And what number, approximately, would that be? Seriously, aside from the fact...
That would be nice. :) I did that in a few posts earlier this year, but for points scored against the Pats' D.
@ Amnorix: Thanks for the lists; I went ahead and looked up the pass ratings for all the opponents and ranked them in order:
IND:
1 92.5
2 89.3
3 86.0
4 85.9
5 85.8
6 78.6...
Weren't people in the media saying things like "the Patriots have not played a real offense" before the Dallas game, and "the Patriots have not played a real defense" before the Washington game? Is there stuff like that about the Colts now?
