26CornerBlitz Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) @fboutsiders Week 4 DVOA ratings are here, with first look at opponent adjustments and schedule strength. @Chiefs still No. 1. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/dvoa-ratings/2017/week-4-dvoa-ratings We also have updated FO playoff odds. @Steelers and @Chiefs far ahead of rest of the AFC but NFC is very tight! http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/playoffodds Edited October 4, 2017 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watkins101 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 So we have the third best chance of the playoffs in the AFC as of right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 -We have played the 14th hardest schedule so far, and we have the 3rd easiest schedule remaining. -We have higher playoff odds than the Patriots. But they've played the hardest schedule so far, and have the 8th easiest schedule remaining. -Our defense is #1 but it's the worst #1 defense after 4 weeks of all time. -Our pass offense is 11th, our rush offense is 25th. Who saw that coming? -Tyrod Taylor is 9th in QB DVOA. -Jacksonville has the best pass defense and the worst run defense. Amazing. -EJ Gaines is 4th overall in CB success rate (don't know what Tre White is at, they mentioned Gaines's offhand in that article but the rest of the stat can only be seen by subscribers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) @fboutsiders New DVOA Ratings: @Chiefs way ahead at No. 1, lots of sort-of good/average teams, and then some awful ones. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/dvoa-ratings/2017/week-5-dvoa-ratings @fboutsiders New playoff odds dominated by @Chiefs, in part because of what looks like an unprecedented 1.5-game conference lead. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/playoffodds Edited October 11, 2017 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBills808 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 -Our pass offense is 11th, our rush offense is 25th. Who saw that coming? Not me, but that DVOA would consider a pass offense ranked 28th in attempts, 18th in completion %, 21st in Y/A, =21st in TDs, taken the 4th most sacks, 19th in ANY/A, and 29th in YPG to be the 11th ranked...it's just another reason for me to ignore the stat.

GunnerBill Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Tyrod should buy all stocks of DVOA and QBR. He will be wishing he hadn't thrown that pick and instead had scrambled on 4th down and come up valiantly just short of the sticks. Would have done wonders for his QBR.

Not true. The Bills are ranked 23rd in offense: 28th in rushing and 18th in passing. The low number of turovers and SOS accounts for the relatively high pass ranking. Taylor is ranked 19th among qbs. The Bills top qualifying receiver, Zay Jones, is ranked 71st and Matthews, who doesn't have enough targets to qualify for the main board, has solid numbers (scroll down). http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/wr Edited October 11, 2017 by dave mcbride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you reply to my post from last week, before the Bengals game? The numbers changed. Pass offense is 18th now. Tyrod is 19th in DYAR and 18th in DVOA. The rush offense is now 28th. The only reason you would ignore this stat is you don't understand it. YPG won't factor in at all because DVOA is a per play stat. Our pass game ranking in DVOA is a little higher than it is in the other passing stats because we've faced tougher defenses (8th hardest offensive schedule) which DVOA accounts for. Here's a positive - the Bills have faced the 11th hardest schedule so far, but the remaining schedule is the 4th easiest. We're still slightly more likely to make the playoffs than the Patriots are. We also have better playoff odds than any of our wildcard competition: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/playoffodds And these playoff odds uses their DAVE stat which is partly based on the Football Outsiders preseason projections (currently weighted at 30%), so we actually have better odds than they list because their preseason projections for us were poor.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 He will be wishing he hadn't thrown that pick and instead had scrambled on 4th down and come up valiantly just short of the sticks. Would have done wonders for his QBR. They weight the plays in DVOA - so a 9 yard run on 4th and 10 isn't a positive play and a 2 yard run on 3rd and 1 is a positive play. Factors in the opponent as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Tyrod should buy all stocks of DVOA and QBR. QBR has the highest win correlation of any passing stat: http://www.footballperspective.com/is-espns-qbr-the-best-measure-of-quarterback-play/ It actually correlates even better with predicting future wins than it does with past wins.

Typed ranks 16th in QBR right now which isn't really good enough anyways, so there's no reason for the Tyrod sucks crowd to pretend it isn't a good stat.

Big C Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 QBR...DVOA...all I care about is 4th qtr comebacks. That's where he fails miserably. Not trying to say he's great in this regard, but I believe strongly that he had miserable luck in a couple of his opportunities. This year's Carolina game spoiled by a questionable OPI and a missed connection with Zay, Miami last year spoiled by some garbage defense in the 4th quarter and OT, Seattle last year with some questionable goal line playcalls. Tyrod can't be held faultless but he has put his team in a position to win multiple times and the team couldn't close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVOA says that on 3rd and 20 from the 50, a 19 yard run (or pass) to put you in field goal range on fourth down is not a successful play.

Okay? That scenario must account for like .01% of total plays. Do you understand statistics at all? It's starting to sound like willful ignorance on your part.
