Hopefully, global warming will help us by a few degrees this year. Assuming we get to Lambeau or need to. Go Giants.

I did notice in the game at Lambeau ( and another game there against another team ) that we were slipping on one end of the field. So were the Packers, but, less than we were. Of course, at -24 it would be permafrost. Which cleats do we wear for permafrost?

The % of teams making 3rd downs on them
3rd Down %
NO - 32.8 (#5)
NE - 44.1 (#29)
GB - 42.9 (#28)

But our red zone defense really really needs to improve.
Red Zone Efficiency
NO - 64.7% (#31)
NE - 53.5% (#18)
GB - 53.1% (#17)

Does any one know what our Red Zone Efficiency has been in the last 5 weeks?

Thanks for the stats Pherein.

So let's put that to the test and compare the three teams.

GB - 42.9 (#28)

TO/G
NO - 0.9 (#32)
NE - 2.0 (#4)
GB - 2.3 (#2)

Red Zone Efficiency
NO - 64.7% (#31)
NE - 53.5% (#18)
GB - 53.1% (#17)

dSRS (profootball-reference.com)
NO - 0.0 (#18)
NE - 0.0 (#18)
GB - 0.8 (#15)

The overall profile of Green Bay and New England couldn't be more similar. Not in every exact category, obviously, but in the vast majority. It seems to me that it's clear that NE is the #3 team of this group, but it's a lot closer than people would like to think.

Interestingly, NO probably has the best overall statistical profile. But they'll have to go on the road to beat Green Bay (assuming both teams advance that far), and NE would at least get GB (or NO, of course) on a neutral field.

I would love to move this discussion to its own thread.

I have some questions and contributions.

But, NYE is going to slow me down.

Thanks again Pherein for all this data.

Happy New Year,
Cat

You don't need cleats, lol, your feet will stick to the ground anyways at -24.
Yeah, I saw the same slipping during a game.

Yea, it's usually "They beat us. I have some ideas how to fix the problem." Then after the second game its like "I'm not sure what else to change, we are sooooo screwed".

ESPN Magazine Article on Win Probability

Very interesting Stat ESPN is picking up on. Show the Win probability of a team at a given moment in time. Notice panthers are number 4 but their defense is horrible.
