[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 369201, member: 1429"] I don't buy that. The team that was the most prepared and takes better advantege of the other's weakness wins. Isn't that being better than the other? Regarding being the #1 seed, when all teams don't play everybody both at home and away, it doesn't mean much. A team can have a better record simply because it faced an easier schedule. I'm not saying that the best team wins everytime, but saying that the best team rarely wins seems farfetched, no? That's my beef with statistics. You can't use statistics to determinate small differences. Their stats are great, both FootballOutsiders and ProFootballFocus provide the best statistical analysis, but the way the NFL is played, you can't devise a statistic to prove a team (or a player) is better than another one, not when they're close in talent. There are simply too many variables to consider, it's much different from baseball, where it's one against one, and there are so many plays that in the end the statistical anomalies are eschewed. To determinate that a team is better than another by looking at statistics, when they played different schedules, and in different situations, is pratically impossible. To determinate that a WR is better than another, simply by statistics, when they faced different opponents, ran different schemes and played with different QBs is almost impossible. That's why NFL teams don't evaluate players by stats, but by film study. Fact is, only they know if the guy run the right route, how many times the guy won his matchup, etc... Again, we're talking about very close individuals, or teams. We're talking about Green Bay and New England, per example, not Green Bay and Kansas City. We're talking about Andre Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald, not Andre Johnson and Jordy Nelson. Ah, the offseason, when it's all about hypoteticals! [/QUOTE]
