It's stats based on the full year (DVOA, point differential, etc) but you do you.

Where do you get this misinformation? Do you just expect no-one to fact check you? The 2025 Seahawks team was good (as were the 2025 Rams and the 2025 Niners), but every NFC team was going to smoke the Patriots. The NFC as a whole was vastly superior. Patriots were lucky to find themselves in a scenario where they simply suit up for the game.

I want to know why all these different Vrabel teams consistently are terrible at pass protection 

I'm no o-line coach, but its apparently directly tied to the abnormal injury numbers for his offensive linemen. According to the Piller / Kearse conversation I had, it all stems from a misunderstanding of anchor and over-emphasizing keeping your feet moving to counter power. 

 

Its a mechanical over-simplification and mis-understanding. And when you repeatedly keep emphasizing moving your feet at all costs (without direction) to someone (as an answer to establishing anchor), you are engraining a flawed technique to a person who doesn't understand it and it introduces injury. Its coaching someone to failure. 

 

Also maybe not so coincidentally why Keith Carter's lines are continually the most injured in the NFL.  Look at Minnesota Vikings this past year after Carter joined and their large injury rate spike on the o-line. Look at Keith Carter injury rates with the Jets. Look at the Keith Carter injury rates with the Titans and Vrabel.

You should have "dug deeper"

You got that right.  I figured that out as soon as the game started.  The book knew that game wasn't going to be that close.  So, they keep setting the spread to attract suckers(me) to think maybe it will be close.  All along they know every bet on the Patriots is free money.

I'd prefer if those who tried to fact check it did anything resembling a good job.

 

Do yourself a favor, Google the creator of DVOA and bother yourself to read through his last week or two of posts.

lol. It’s a tweet. And it isn’t correct for fucks sake! 
 

Seattle didn’t have a 46.4 DVOA you idiot. Just check their site.

DVOA has also been on a 4 year run of anomaly with the 18 game schedule adjustment. 
 

I confused you for a smart person. 

if Seattle hadn’t won, then the the Rams would also have been right there for your pathetic cope excuse.

Schatz needs to stick to analytics and step away from predictions in a recent ESPN article one of his Titans predictions was they were going to trade for and sign George Pickens to a huge contract.

So Vrabel uses ICE. 

 

Wouldn't that technically be the Seahawks defense in this scenario? And wouldn't that make Will Campbell like Renee Good? Or is that Maye?

If you were playing Madden as the Seahawks, this is the equivalent to having the difficulty settings on the easiest mode you can set it on.

[titanruss]

With just the eye test neither the Seahawks nor Rams looked anything like 2 of the top 10 teams since like 1985 or whatever. 

 

They both looked damn good but I dont see anyone drafting those teams in the top20 of teams since 85.

On the db blitz you can see how easily this works. 

 

If the LG is looking anywhere but at the 3-5 tech you know the LT is soloed up meaning the DB will be a free rusher. Soon as you see it you audible and the qb is fucked. 

 

Edit: if there is no rb to pick them up that is.

I saw a bunch of big bettors bet on the Seahawks to cover 9 and even 14 points. 

 

I never understood why the line was only -4.5
