There’s some teams that are really ascending now late in the season: Dallas, Seattle, Chargers, and even the Titans and Dolphins to some extent. Some descending teams also, that started strong through the middle of the season: Pitt, Redskins, Bengals. Always best to get hot in December, so they say. Nothing against them personally, but the Redskins can just keep sliding far as I'm concerned. Each L gives the HHCD draft slot better value....and since they're working on their forth starting QB.....odds are good they'll continue losing.

Rivers was amazing down the stretch tonight. This throw on 4th down to keep the game alive is one of the best I've seen all year. I'd love to see them win it all. Yeah. I wouldnt mind seeing Rivers have some post season success. He's been a warrior in a far off and distant land for a long time. Only thing missing is a ring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that put the game away .... wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense is the most underrated aspect of football and I don't understand it. Chargers/Ravens/Cowboys/Seahawks/Saints. Those are my favorites to win it all this year. Ravens only if Flacco starts (yes, Flacco). Chargers are on the far end of that list. Defense and experience. Two most important factors in Super Bowl winners with the Eagles lack of experience last year being an EXTREME outlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acrid Josher Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 7 hours ago, Mr. Fussnputz said: Did you read a review paper on this? Yes. From Determinants of Success in the National Football League's Postseason (Also titled How important is Previous Playoff Experience?) by Dr. Joshua Pitts published in the Journal of Sports Economics in 2014. Quote In general, the results suggest that a team’s previous playoff experience is not a significant determinant of its postseason outcomes. Excluding EXP0 and EXP1, none of the other previous playoff experience measures are ever statistically signif- icant in any of the specifications of the regression models. Furthermore, EXP1 is only statistically significant in a single specification of the OLS model. As shown in column 5 of Table 4, a team that played in one more playoff game than their oppo- nent in the previous postseason can expect about a one point advantage in the current postseason, other things equal. This result aside, there is extremely little evidence supporting the importance of previous playoff experience in determining the out- comes of current postseason games in the NFL. All the various measures of previous playoff experience included in this study, including measures of quarterback, head coach, and team playoff experience, are rarely statistically significant determinants of the outcomes measured in this study. Furthermore, even when these measures do prove statistically significant, the magnitude of the impact on the dependent vari- ables tends to be extremely small. Hence, these results are certainly not consistent with the purported importance of previous playoff experience by many fans and media, and the supposed importance of previous playoff experience is not supported by the analysis performed in this study. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
