Last night's Packers v 49ers OMG.

Par4QC

johnnydoom Texans have turned things around quickly now. We'll see what the 2nd half looks like.
Herbert is way off on his throws.

ode

Houston with a 180 in that game....huge play by Stroud and another stop by the D followed by another huge play by Stroud !

ode

Good lord......the idiotic play calls continue. Dumb!

professor Wish I could give some of you more credit; that we engage in some good discussions.

There are no meaningful discussions before games. Only banter and parties using their truths to argue against another. I don't engage in reasoning or stats based predictions or opinions as to who is better or what matters. I'll chime in after the games because score is the only thing that matters. I'll watch you and Rex exchange barbs.😉

professor

sdandrea1 I'll watch you and Rex exchange barbs.

Trouble maker!

professor But some of you are stats kooks.

It's hard to have meaningful discussions with someone that does not believe in stats.

Esp. when that someone is in a profession that requires such. And does not even realize he uses such.

Since this post the Chargers have done jack and shit on offense.

That's a zebra blunder there. No ? down by. Contact and should have been blown dead. I don't understand that at all. And as it turns out the DB didn't even complete the catch. No way they should let plays like that continue.

ode

Houston OC should get a kick to the balls. Run the CLOCK!

professor

Par4QC You do not score without moving the ball.

Really?! Where’s that pick six show up? That’s moving the ball, right?

professor

Ha-hah, hah! Great extra point!

professor

Holy crap! Chargers have the best scoring defense, statistically, in the regular season. What’s it worth? As much as my opinion.

professor

Oh, announcers; don’t dick Dicker. He’s just a kicker. LOL
Who remembers Garo Yepremian? Great ball skills!

ode

Ball game. LA could not get back in it! Wild game!

johnnydoom

My bracket looks like it will stay intact. 🤣

ode

Houston pass rush reeked havoc.

Ah, now don’t go getting bitter. LOL
I believe in stats - the ones that use letters. W or L
Regarding my profession, you know nothing. Stats in Psychology are bullshit. They have tried to ruin the helping professions. Insurance companies have changed mental health services to behavioral health. You know nothing about what I do.
Quite frankly, there are lies, damn lies, and statistics.

And yes I do selectively use stats to possibly reflect on a game. As compiled stats, they’re pretty deceiving. Why I don’t like them. Now go measure heart, courage, investment, and character.

Those discussions can still be had. Let's look at the Charger's and Texans. Please explain these inadequacies or anomalies.
Total Defense
Chargers #11
Texans #6

Passing Defense
Chargers #7
Texans #6 Pretty close here.

Run Defense
Chargers #14
Texans #11

Scoring Defense
Chargers #1
Texans #14
Wow! Such incredibly predictive value in those stats! Those stats are for the compilations of all regular season games.

I wonder where Justin Herbert ranked - past tense. He was rank last night. Damn! He was ranked 9th! CJ Stroud was ranked 21st.
Loving some Stats baby.

Absolutely correct, I know noting of your profession. But, if I had to think, or believe, you do not use statistics in your personal work, I'd have to think much less of you. Statistics is nothing more than data, even though you'll probably disagree. And I'd like to think you do use data from previous cases, even if not something written down. I'm sure you have much data kept in your head or otherwise. Stats baby!!!! 😄😉

And....my bracket has been busted, btw.

azgreg

That was a man's drive. 13 plays, 13 runs, TD. How do you stop it?

Par4QC

azgreg Point spread at this moment has ballooned to 20.5. 🤣
Now at 23.5.

professor

azgreg That was a man's drive. 13 plays, 13 runs, TD. How do you stop it?

Most call it defense. You play defense. LOL Or, you can look like you quit.

professor

Par4QC But, if I had to think, or believe, you do not use statistics in your personal work, I'd have to think much less of you.

Well, then it's a good think you don't "have to". Better you don't. There are many schools of thought and a variety of perspectives about "therapy". Maybe you know one personal experience? That's not an insult. I'd never. That's one who'd been to therapy once would be familiar with. Otherwise, let us stick to the football thread and football statistics if you must be obstinate. I will be. 😊

Just F'ing had to, huh? Well the game sucks. Stats say most teams down 21-0 at the half of a playoff game haven't experienced the disappointment of Russell Wilson.
Stats are just data. Agreed.
Many equate data with truth. False
I could never and would NEVER use what you called "data" which in what you're inferring is going to most likely be my memory of another client. Let's just call that history. You'd be real F'ing wrong now. That's the work of my job. I may not engage in "transference" of any sort, certainly not from one client to another. Humans are all individual creatures with their own genecology, history, genes, socialization, locale, region, country. Jesus, what are you trying to talk about? You'd think less of me? Got it.
Not "stats baby".
