They look like the abbreviations from the old Tecmo Super Bowl game, so I'm kinda ok with it.

I get it's talking about the defense, but this headline is written like the 49ers offense has complex schemes designed to throw off their own QB, because it's redundant to say that at the end, as all QB's in the league are facing the same defenses.
I enjoy this thread if nothing else cause teams that are doing well somehow get upset that some of that might be due to luck, like their team is somehow winning all those games on skill.
NFL games are so close, and evenly matched a lot of the time, one weird bounce of a fumble, or a WR having a ball go through his hands for a pick 6 can basically decide a game.
There's more luck that most fans want to admit, hell a good portion of every teams success is based on how lucky they are with injuries.
I was fully expecting that to be the Manning face.
Also, is that saying the Chargers are the luckiest team in the league, but also only 4-5? cause that would completely track with a Chargers stat.
1-1 when tied
13-6 when having the lead. 68% win when leading going into the 4th feels really low.

This post from 5 years ago had teams winning around 87% if they led after 3 quarters.
Small sample size, but still should have won 16-17 of those they led instead of 13.
Too lazy to find any better data, was just curious cause that felt off.
I mean, it's not happening cause he's on pace for 28tds and his teams unlikely to win more than 10 games or their division and are currently the 7th seed.
Unless they go 7-1 and he plays far better than he already has it's not happening. Especially if one of Mahomes/Hurts/Goff/Purdy get their team to 14-15 wins
There hasn't been an MVP in the last 20+ years that didn't win 11 games, and that's when they only played 16.
The last time someone won MVP when their team didn't even win their division was 2012 Adrian Peterson when he ran for 2100 yards. Herbert doesn't have a chance unless he throws 30 TDs his last 8 games.
I'll tell you why we don't do this and why it is flawed, using my Team. The Chiefs have only gone for 7 4th downs all year I believe, being 3/7. 4 of those were desperation 4th downs in the broncos/lions game when we were down multiple scores, so it doesn't really give a good representation. Two of them I remember were 4th and 25 or more.
Maybe you could Weight this as there's a lot more 3rd down attempts than 4th down, or take out desperation 4th downs in the 4th quarter when losing over like 5-10 yards. I dunno.
Also I'm really annoyed how conservative Andy is being this year with the offense. They only have 3 4th down attempts this season that weren't because they're losing in the 4th and have to. This is part of why the offense looks worse, is we've punted or kicked field goals on about 20 4th and shorts this season, a lot of them inside the 10.
three 4th down attempts in 9 games with the best QB in the NFL, just dumb. (that's all my complaining, we're awesome)
Bills had an int that went through a WR's hands, Allen fumbled a handoff, you had 12 men on the field on a missed field goal that would have won you the game.
I think the worry comes from you guys shooting yourselves in the foot repeatedly, yet still having a chance to win at the end after 4 turnovers, then still fucking up the easiest part of the game, putting 11 or fewer guys on the field.
the Bills averages 3 more yards per play than the broncos. you averages 7 yards per carry. You guys should have won that game by a couple scores.
they have a better record than you, and that game was 6 weeks ago, it's not that weird.
There's a lot of teams with failures at HC or OC/DC, and they're wasting entire seasons of progression keeping them around. Chargers, Jets, Commanders, Panthers, Steelers, probably missing some others.
It's amazing watching these teams keep doing the same thing every single week for an entire season that doesn't work.
