Week 4 /// STAT’ UPDATE \\\
This thread is for “stat geeks” (like myself). I used to run it every week in Broncomania (RIP) for the last two years (weeks 4-17)
The stat are broken down to 3 categories: Offense, defense and Special teams; there is also a section about penalties, and it is focused on the Broncos. For each stat category you'll see the score or average, NFL rank (1-32) change in rank since last week and also NFL 1st and last teams with their perspective scores. Scores that are ranked in the top or bottom five are highlighted. And AFCW teams are also indicated. There is also a summery of ‘Red Zone’ offense and defense success rates. The next post is about ‘Strength of Schedule” based only on games already played. I will also point out anything that I find interesting or unusual. For comparison, if you’re interested, last years final stat can be found here: 2006, 2005. Feel free to suggest more categories if you think they can be helpful or other ideas for improvement. |

For each team you accumulate the opponent’s records.
(If a team played another team twice you add their record twice) Then subtract the games against the team in question. Then you calculate the percentage value. Example: Denver opponents: Buf (1-3), Oak (2-2), Jac (2-1), Ind (4-0). Combined record: 9-6. / 0.600 Removing the games against Denver (2-2). Combined record is 7-4. Or 0.636%. Just for reference, you have the “non adjusted SoS” (just the total W/L of the opponents). This is the way the NFL calculate it for ranking purposes. STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE Code:
Team OpW/L-adjusted non-adjusted (rank) 01 N.Y. Giants 9-2 0.818 11-4 0.733 (02) 02 New Orleans 6-2 0.750 9-2 0.818 (01) 03 Philadelphia 8-3 0.727 11-4 0.733 (02) 04 Tennessee 5-2 0.714 6-4 0.600 (11) 05 Arizona 8-4 0.667 10-6 0.625 (07) 05 Cincinnati 8-4 0.667 11-5 0.688 (04) 05 San Diego 8-4 0.667 11-5 0.688 (04) 08 Denver 7-4 0.636 9-6 0.600 (11) 09 Indianapolis 6-4 0.600 6-8 0.429 (23) 10 Buffalo 7-5 0.583 10-6 0.625 (07) 10 Chicago 7-5 0.583 10-6 0.625 (07) 10 Houston 7-5 0.583 9-7 0.563 (14) 10 Minnesota 7-5 0.583 10-6 0.625 (07) 10 Oakland 7-5 0.583 9-7 0.563 (14) 10 Seattle 7-5 0.583 8-8 0.500 (16) 10 St. Louis 7-5 0.583 11-5 0.688 (04) 17 Cleveland 6-6 0.500 8-8 0.500 (16) 17 Jacksonville 4-4 0.500 5-6 0.455 (20) 17 Pittsburgh 6-6 0.500 7-9 0.438 (21) 17 San Francisco 6-6 0.500 8-8 0.500 (16) 21 Miami 5-6 0.455 9-6 0.600 (11) 22 Green Bay 5-7 0.417 5-11 0.313 (27) 23 Atlanta 4-7 0.364 7-8 0.467 (19) 23 Tampa Bay 4-7 0.364 5-10 0.333 (26) 25 Baltimore 4-8 0.333 6-10 0.375 (24) 25 Carolina 4-8 0.333 6-10 0.375 (24) 25 Detroit 4-8 0.333 5-11 0.313 (27) 25 New England 4-8 0.333 4-12 0.250 (30) 25 N.Y.

Awesome posts. Keep it up.
Our rush defense has turned to a house of cards. My kingdom for a stud DT and healthy Al Wilson! |

Couldn't help notice this discrepency:
punts average 51.7 1 == Broncos(51.7) Titans(36.6) punts net average 34.3 26 == Raiders(44.1) Colts(29.1) Who cares what the punt average is? Net is what counts. |

Good stuff.
How about avg. starting field possession. Do you have a way of tracking that? I can never find it. It's never with the usual stats you find everywhere. I'm guessing it would be right about the 20yrd line at this moment? I know we're at the bottom. |

I added average starting field positions on both sides (O/D). As you guessed, it’s not very good: Broncos’ average starting field position is on the 24.7-yards line, ranked 31st. Broncos’ opponents average starting field position is on the 33.1-yards line, ranked 26th. Football Outsider gathers lots of stat regarding drives, including average starting field position right HERE. |

Another point to consider: when you punt to the endzone (touchback), which happened too many times this year, there is automatically 20-yards difference between punt length and the punt net. On the other hand with our poor coverage that might not be a bad idea. |

People really need to look at the punting figures more closely. In the case here, the numbers really do lie. We've only punted 9 times. One of those punts was returned for a TD. That one punt totally skewed all the numbers.
Don't let that one punt fool you......since that one punt in game one, Sauerbraun has led the league in both gross and net punting. Another point to consider: when you punt to the endzone (touchback), which happened too many times this year.... All of his touchbacks have come from the Denver side of the field, so it's not like he's screwing up intentional pooch punts or anything. And why on earth, with the terrible coverage and tackling the Broncos have been exhibiting, would you ever want Sauerbraun keeping the punt in the field of play anyway? Nothing good can happen there. |

As always, stats and figures are only a a part of the picture! I love them, and they tell a good story, but it's only half the story if you don't know what actually happened! It's always good information to look at, though! I'd be interested in knowing the difference between top and bottom of the average starting position. I can't imagine it's a whole lot. What would be the most helpful would be to see how often we start behind our own 20! Just one good return (or the opposite) could skew those numbers. |
