Uffdaswede Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 My guess is it's one of those internet Halloween memes. I'm supposed to keep staring at it looking for Mason Crosby and then Bertie Boatsman in a Scream mask will jump out at me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cakeshoppe Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I’m not sure exactly how they’re arriving at their numbers, but FG added is likely a measure of how a kicker fares vs. the difficulty of the kick. I’m no mathmagician but it seems to me that points added is a better measure than FG added, and that it would be more useful as a points added per kick number than what appears to just be a flat FG added. Maybe I’m a dummy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m a dummy though. points added is just 3x what these numbers are. Same thing. FGs are all worth 3, and this doesn't account for XPs at all. The bolded part is exactly correct.

Ah, so what determines the "expectation" -- in order words what criteria turns an expected make into an unexpected one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're telling me an average kicker nails 61 yard GWs all the time? Cause Elliot isn't even registered. Seems like a completely arbitrary stat. Not to mention Crosby isn't even on there.

Seems like a completely arbitrary stat. how about you try to understand what the stat is before you pick it apart. Elliot has a NET added Field Goals over expectation of 0. It's because the 61 yarder he made is counterbalanced by several 30-x yarders he missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
