Yet the ten game win streak correlates with their offensive improvements, right? This has been a trend for decades. Hell, I wrote about this in grad school and started my professional career off that project. The - at the time - ten highest scoring teams in NFL history had all finished .750 or better, but only one of them had won the Super Bowl up to that point. In the playoffs, and I suspect this is due to good defenses appearing to be more consistent than good offenses, defense became a better indicator of success. For instance, in 2010 the top two defenses were Pittsburgh and Green Bay, who played each other in the Super Bowl that year. Top two offenses? San Diego and New England who combined for zero playoff wins that year.

As a pats fan we were just killed by terribly untimely mistakes and bad special teams. I mean the offense wasn’t great but we gave away at least 3-4 games with just some idiotic shit.

Heard the front office was toying with the idea of fielding actual bears next year. Can’t do worse than the humans did this season!

Good point. Next time I hit up my bean broker I'll pick up some beans to blend a half-calf. Typically when I try to get on the wagon I'll cycle to tea and cut back on that (until I find myself drinking tea in the shower)

Can’t recall

I loved watching the Vikes hunt down dead center. Something poetically Minnesota about it.

Anime Ohio?

Now lets hope this doesn’t cause issues with dams later this year.

Ahh makes sense. Very cool visualization (and cool to see you did it using R)!

Hahahaha!! Flick the bean!!! 🤣🤣

True, they shifted their offense once they acquired McCaffrey. But their defense has always surpassed their offense this year so in their case you could say their defense had a bigger impact than their offense. At least, looking at this graph that could be a conclusion. Watching the games it's clear their offense has had a great psychological edge, but that isn't reflected in the numbers in this graph since the defense rating is consistently higher than the offense.

There is definitely one in Cincinnati but I can't recall the name

I suggest adding some time to the end of the gif so it is more user friendly to see the results at the end of the time period before auto loop. Very cool though

Except that their defense has surpassed their offense, even as offense improved. So the defense had a larger impact than their offense, yes?

I know already I have something like that, but why I can never truly break out of it?

I know it's hard, but it's all a matter of habit I think?

The OP said that offense had more impact than defense, but with the Niners their defense always surpassed their offense.

You could call it an anomoly but in their case defense had a "bigger impact" on their success.

Oh thank god, Reno has one.

I think you need to see a doctor

EPA is not a common term. Needs a definition.

Depends on the type there are 8 to 10 types

You might have delayed sleep phase disorder. I do too.

There's nothing inherently wrong with it other than it's hard to conform to society's normal morning oriented structure. Even if you force yourself to wake up early for years you can never truly break out of it.
