Why Mike Zimmer Made the Right Decision Against the Seahawks

Reading Time: 2 minutes Analytics if not already dominating the sport of football is soon to completely take over the sport. After Mike Zimmer‘s failed 4th-and-1 attempt from Seattle’s 6-yard-line instead of kicking the field goal to go up 8, many folks criticized his decision, citing an example like this for why analytics should be used less. While it is good to use context as well as analytics everyone saying that they should take the points here is simply wrong even with the context of the game factored in. First let’s look at from the perspective of if the Vikings do...

Week 1 NFL Takeaways: One Thought from Each Game

Week 1 NFL Takeaways: One Thought from Each Game

Reading Time: 6 minutes Jets 17 – Bills 27: The Jets are going to suckThis game looks fairly close but if you watched the game at all it’s obvious that it wasn’t really that close with the Bills going up 21-0 early and then letting up eventually. Josh Allen looked like the same high potential quarterback who couldn’t stop making mistakes but my biggest takeaway is that the Jets are going to be really bad. The offensive line while improved is still gonna be bottom half in the league, Bell in his six touches looked like the same inefficient...

Why Sam Darnold is Not the Answer for the Jets

Why Sam Darnold is Not the Answer for the Jets

Reading Time: 2 minutes Sam Darnold is not the answer for the Jets.The goal of every single NFL team is to win a Super Bowl, and if that’s not possible, at least be a consistent playoff team.With Darnold, I believe it is possible for the second to maybe be reached however, I don’t believe that the first is possible.This isn’t really a knock on Darnold but more Jets former GM Mike Maccagnan, and Jets leadership for not firing him soon enough.The last six quarterbacks to lead their teams to the Super Bowl have been Patrick Mahomes, Jimmy Garoppolo, Jared...

True Interceptions: An Advanced Stat Created by Paranjai Patil

True Interceptions: An Advanced Stat Created by Paranjai Patil

Reading Time: 4 minutes Recently, I read an interesting article about NFL Stats that were pretty overrated. Among one of those stats was interceptions, although it was in the sense of interceptions being overrated to judge defensive backs.Then I thought, interceptions are also a pretty overrated stat for quarterbacks as well. I was originally going to create a stat to judge quarterback interceptions based on interceptable passes, but while I was checking to see if interceptable passes counted as interceptions (which I still do not know), I came across an interesting Football DVOA article. They created their own Adjusted...
