[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 961361, member: 10086"] I can see that. Although I generally support using stats. As you said, the most important stat is Wins vs Losses. For me, the 2nd most important stat is Points scored. I say that because whoever scores the most points wins the game. It’s more important to have points than yards. We can take the ball 90 yards down the field, but if we don’t come away with points? We actually missed our goal. That’s why finishing in the Red Zone is so important. I also like that stats give a general indicator for areas of improvement. We will notice that the teams who win Championships (ultimate goal) tend to have the best overall stats. we’d be hard pressed to find a Champion caliber team who’s stats we’re not good. Going back through historic statistical records, nearly every SB Champion was top half of the league on both Offense AND Defensive scoring with very rare exception. Stats are a tool that should not be discounted entirely. But as with probability, sometimes coaches similar to your “feel” have to use their “flow of the game” to decide how to win. So occasionally, we go contrary to what the numbers tell us. So how I’ve witnessed it, is its a combination of the eye test and stats combined that work best. I’d really like to see Joe Barry crack the top #8 on Defense in Scoring because that absolutely will improve our odds of going the distance. Net Turnover ratio is another complimentary stat that is nearly always consistent with Winners. [/QUOTE]
