Yes, it is true the team that scores more points deserve to win but how they score their points is very important to me. I'm looking for repeatable results.
If we just looked at the results the analysis would be simple. My usually stat to look at Passing Yards Per Attempt. Then look at Adjusted Passing Yards per attempt. The Steelers won the PYA but the Giants won the APYA because APYA subtracts sack yardage. This is high praise for a 2nd year WR that missed most of the first, but I can't remember Steve Smith (the NY version) look so bad. He let some balls go through his hand. Lucikly the Giants still had Toomer - professional receiver. -----Original Message----- From: Charlie Griefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 27, 2008 3:11 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: GIANTS vs cowboys On Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 12:07 PM, Scott Stroz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The oddest part of the game is trying to answer, "Who deserved to win > that > > game?" > > The Giants, were overall, more effective than the Steelers.

I remember a few years back after a Giants/Eagles game. I think the Giants fumbled 5 times (and turned it over all 5, but still won). An Eagles fan posted to the Giants newsgroup that a team that turns the ball over 5 times doesn't deserve to win. My response was, "does a team that forces 5 turnovers but still score fewer points deserve to win?" One of the few online discussions that I think I actually won. If a team plays like shit but still comes out with more points, it generally means that at some point during the game they played well enough to overcome the parts of the game where they played like shit. -- I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my wife. And I wish you my kind of success. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:276884 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
