    But DVOA is already a schedule adjusted metric that adjusts it's weighting throughout the season so it's not clear what excluding weeks would even do there.
  2. WrigleyField 22
    Thats actually additionally funny because DVOA also already has mechanisms in place to deal with opponent strength metric as a season progresses, so presumably this just kneecaps that portion or what, I don't know?

    Random sample size cutoffs are good if they favor my team.

    Obviously Caleb isn't Lamar, but that's not just Lamar pushing the spread up 14. They have a backup bad enough to help push that spread down too.

    I think he broke his dick

    That was annoying but yea not bad. You just have to know it gets called like that. Now on the flip side that late 2Q sack Caleb took certainly looked like helmet to helmet to helmet contact. Though the broadcast avoiding replaying a lot of bad or potential missed calls. For as much as the refs were flag happy against Bears they missed a few other way worse ones that could have gone against Washington. It was just poorly officiated. Whatever W is a W. Great sign Bears could have several miscues, piss poor kick coverage, have several scores swing against them from officiating... And still squeak out a win. Why I'll almost never blame officials for a loss. Find a way. Bears did. And Caleb wasn't at his best either.

    Yes

    There is?

    On one hand TEs are often slow to develop. On the other hand https://www.pff.com/news/indianapolis-colts-tyler-warren-is-rewriting-rookie-history-at-the-tight-end-position

    Mark Sanchez who was in Indianapolis to do the Fox broadcast tomorrow was stabbed last night outside a nar and hospitalized with critical wounds. Though one report says he's now in stable condition.

    He coached my uncle there!

    Biggs reporting in Tribune that expectation is that it will be Benedet over Jones out of bye. Presumably Wright will be back, but if not Trapilo at RT.
  14. WrigleyField 22
    Yes. Sounds like a benching. I wouldn't discount the possibility of platooning vs full benching until they figure out the best LT solution. Via Nicholas Moreano on Twitter:

    Any hard and fast rules on RB value should be viewed skeptically IMO. I think the analytic view on RB will go down in history like early analytics if defense and catcher framing in baseball. I think Jeanty absolutely is a guy who had large enough questions that he shouldn't have been drafted that high. But that doesn't mean they don't exist. Same way that there are very few Gs who meet that criteria, but they do exist. As far as resources go... Resource restriction honestly isn't all that bad in the NFL. Way different than in baseball. But teams should take an economic/market based approach which means that value will always be relative and you can't create many concrete rules about resource allocation.

    Caleb on pace for 4,052 yards. Blue end zone effect is real. We're so back baby.

    Luckily my wife signed me and the youngest up for a toddler sports camp that's at 4pms on Sundays. We'll see if I catch any of this.

    The year is 2034. Kevin and George feel optimistic about the progress. These things take time. Shovels in the ground by 2035 is my expectation says Warren.

    I think it would be homerific to completely deny the reports but also, who cares. It's not definitive of anything. The person who comes off worse is Poles and if Ben is the right coach that will scarcely matter - he'll either fall in line as 3rd most important guy or hell be replaced in a few years. And if Caleb busts and Ben is still the right coach, also, we'll have the right coach. And if Ben busts well then /Bears

    I mean I can emphasize that social media is absolutely terrible for mental health even if you didn't have any unrelated issues. But yea he was absolutely unjustified in his attack that led to his firing and it was justified to let him go. Was he excusing at all what happened or just kind of like "this is what happened and I take responsibility for it"?
  22. WrigleyField 22
    Well at least in the offseason, coaches are limited to how much time they can spend with players. Individual player workouts aren't. There was some heavy inference to that. I don't think that same limit applies in season. But maybe there is some consideration there if they plan to have him in that role an additional offseason. Also, can't totally discount practice squad as an option I guess. Though I'd think by this point of season some team would jump on him for a true #2 role, and you can't block that.
  23. WrigleyField 22
    30 minutes?!? On like 6 minutes of offensive play where Caleb was in? JT is horsefeathers hilarious man. I'm not watching that.
  24. WrigleyField 22
    That man needs to seek help
  25. WrigleyField 22
    Lmao
