vegas492 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 He (Brooks) is a lot more physical and a lot more violent than I remember seeing in Green and Gold. And not in a dirty way. Nice post, eyecatcher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From now SINCE those times, these are the overall PA rankings. So 22nd goes to 14 when the only available data is 2017. The 2016 number shows 2016 and 2017 data. The 2015 number shows 2015, 2016, and 2017 data, and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure, but we still have a lot to work on to stop Atlanta. It's a top 10 defense when the team isn't ravaged by injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevein2012 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 By Points Per Drive 2016 - 2.29 (28) 2015 - 1.67 (10) 2014 - 1.89 (17) 2013 - 2.24 (26) 2012 - 1.79 (15) 2011 - 1.94 (23) 2010 - 1.24 (1) 2009 - 1.51 (6) I like to look at points per drive because some teams have offenses that move the ball consistently and keep their teams D off the field which limits the amount of points they may give up even if they are bad. I don't know if the fluctuations in effectiveness for our D are normal or anything but it's interesting. I think GBs defense can be good if everything goes right for them during a season but it seems fragile to me where when something goes wrong it will result in an embarrassing collapse. It's just not very consistent even with the coaching staff staying consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any reason to believe that GB was exceptionally good or bad at this relative to other teams over that long time span? It's all well and good to try to normalize for things, but 8 years of 16 games is a pretty large sample, so I wouldn't expect us to be too different than other teams over that long haul.

I wasn't really trying to imply that the Packers were exceptionally good or bad in this area, I was more or less wanting some level of understanding in this area. You'd imagine that teams who are turnover prone are giving up more points per drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while it's a nice tool to have in place, numbers without context are just numbers. I'd love to get some more context behind those numbers. How does Green Bay compare to say Atlanta or Seattle? Right now, I've got more questions than the stats were supposed to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is generally the nature of some statistical measure....they lead to more questions than the supposed answer(s) they provide. The true nature of scientific study/method.
