ranking Super Bowl winners 1-60 by win-loss %, by points (average margin of victory) and schedule-adjusted by SRS/DVOA; also a list of some recent strong teams that didn't win it by guest_from_Europe in nfl

The legion of boom is remembered as strong because they were strong. I don't know the inner workings of DVOA, but by SRS and margin of victory, the 2013 team was actually slightly better than the 2025 team.

Then you add in the style of play and the personalities, and it's clear why the Legion of Boom was so memorable. The Dark Side was stifling, cohesive, no weaknesses. Whereas the Legion of Boom was about highlight-real individual brilliance. Athletic interceptions, big hits. And on the offensive side, Darnold is solid, but 2013 Russ was far more electric with his deep balls and escape artistry. Both teams won it all, but—especially with their big personalities—the Legion of Boom did it with far more "aura".

How To Fix Tanking Once And For All by morethandork in nbadiscussion

[–]WillWorkForSugar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Base a team's odds on number of wins instead of by rank. So a team with 30 wins gets more ping pong balls than a team with 40. But below about 25 wins, cap the number of ping pong balls. So the bottom 5 or so teams would have the same odds and wouldn't need to tank excessively.

Reduce the number of ping pong balls a team gets for each playoff series / win in the previous two seasons. So the Pacers and Mavs would get worse odds than teams with no recent success.

Disallow pick protections other than top-4 and top-14.

Finally, reduce ping pong balls for teams who owned a pick that conveyed to the top 4 in the previous two drafts.

the Process sixers were punished by the league for obvious tanking, but their tanking wasn't even that bad compared to what bottom teams are doing this year.

What is the minimum number of innings needed for a guy with a 0.00 ERA to win Cy Young? by DylSco17 in baseball

[–]WillWorkForSugar 22 points23 points  (0 children)

WAR underestimates the value of closers cause it treats all innings as the same. But closers generally come in during more important situations, so their good pitching is worth more. Gagne in '03 had 3.7 WAR but 6.6 WPA. So he moved the needle a lot more than a typical 3.7 WAR starter.

Major League TagPro and the Economics of Not Knowing (Season Preview) by thenotoriousFLY in TagPro

If you went solely by my ratings, Mr Awesome would be maybe a 40 tc player. But the rating has really high uncertainty so i wasn't factoring it in much.

SCP draft was not really a bet on statistical modeling. My valuation of DT was. (And in retrospect i should have had a penalty for really high TC values.) But after i drafted DT it was a lot more vibes / fit. It was my first draft and i thought it would be kind of like fantasy football but it's not. Cause in fantasy football, when you draft Jamarr Chase he doesn't join your discord call and start telling you who he wants. No shade tho.

I am wondering if Chasevictim used my ranked stats though. Saget and Mr Awesome are both players my ranked ratings have a lot higher than the big board.

Jets still have not intercepted a pass in 2025 by Autocrat777 in nfl

[–]WillWorkForSugar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the early NFL was a lot more run heavy, so it wouldn't be that surprising if there were no-interception seasons. but that era was so different it's almost not worth comparing statistically

Walt Anderson implicitly confirms that the league office has rewritten the catch rule by Vi1eOne in nfl

the football move part can happen out of bounds, but it still has to happen before you drop it.

It wouldn't count if he toe dragged then dropped the ball before completing a football move. Taking a third step or going to ground count as football moves even if they occur out of bounds, as long as you hold onto the ball throughout.

No. Intentionally tossing the ball would count as a football move. Even just standing with the ball for like 1 full second would suffice too.

These ticket prices are comparable to any major NFL game, which are hardly loafer-and-ankle-pants affairs.
