it's designed to be a recursive system that re-balances the values for how good each team is based on the previous values until it converges onto specific values for each team empirically. so if I do that after say, week 10, then I'd have to run the converging process again after I include week 11's games to get new values. that's fine though, takes all of 3 seconds, the problem is making a formula to give approximate ratings for teams that would create relatively accurate representations of how that game went for those teams given their initial impressions of how things SHOULD go. if I get that right, I can use it to make predictions as well. the thing is trying to figure out which stats seem important in this context but are actually not useful and don't contribute (or are counterproductive) towards giving the intended results. I don't really concern myself too much with how the useful stats make sense together, only that the actual end product looks like it comes out properly, or else it wouldn't be useful.

to be completely honest, I was going to ridicule you because I thought McClain was the one with the lowest Wonderlic score I was wrong and I'm sorry >It was actually Morris Claiborne, a Dallas CB

How soon is too soon to draft Ezekiel, I'm thinking of keeping Antonio Brown with my round 1 pick and then taking Big Zeke in the 2nd. I expect him to be around for a decade so speaking purely for the future it may be a good move.
Brandon Sanders
>blog posting this is definitively on-topic though, why would you object to that instead of something else? like say, calling out coffee as inferior to candy?
Camden Moore
Packers go 1-15
Robert Young
well the only thing youd need to predict is the final record, wouldnt necessarily need to get the stats (yards and TDs Im assuming) to be perfect.
Blake Thompson
>its a 'tiki shits up a slow thread' thread
Evan Gonzalez
...
Josiah Powell
well if I can get the ratings to come out right, it wouldn't exactly pop out a record as a prediction itself, but rather the record would be derived from the results. so say that the formula say that they were the stronger team in X number of games, but their actual result was X - 3 wins then that would indicate they significantly underachieved.
Kayden Jones
>implying Zeke will get out of the first Hes super hyped. If theres 10 or less pick predicted ot be taken in the first, and hes one of them, you're not getting him if youre keeping AB

Wyatt Smith
The Raiders franchise deserve a city that will take care of them Raider's fans deserve another trophy in Oakland Its a tough issue
Julian Ramirez
I'm in a 16 team league. each team has the option to take up to 3 keepers. You take one you lose your first round pick, you take two and you lose your first and second and so on. I'm only keeping Antonio Brown and am letting Matt Forte and Eddie Lacy go. I won't know who is doing what until keepers date comes and goes
Leo Edwards
Then look to this based motherfucker and go with his plan
Chase Turner
>filename
I dont love you, sorry.
Isaiah Reyes
>that last frame
Caleb Lopez
You will
Thomas Lee
in that sort of system you wont have much of an idea until you see the keepers date You dont now how many (out of fucking 16 so your chances are slim) are actually missing the first round You'll also have to keep in mind who's not keeping RBs because those will be the guys to reach for Zeke

That's why Manning, not Brady, is the GOAT QB.
Liam Wright
I meant more like each team would be given ratings compared to each other based on the overall big picture, and then by looking at the actual results between teams with X and Y ratings, you can see where the outlier performances would be. So for instance (pulling numbers out of my ass here) if the 2015 49ers were rated at -3.27 and the 2015 Vikings were rated at +2.78, then the 49ers beating the Vikings in week 1 would be a statistical aberration. By looking at which teams SHOULD have won each game and how things actually turned out, you could see which teams over/under-performed. That's not the entire purpose of the spreadsheet though, since by setting it up to run continuously the actual ratings involved would change from week to week, so the 5-11 49ers beating the 8-8 Falcons looks like less of a surprise in hindsight than it did at the time. by compiling those changes in perception week-to-week, you can see which teams are building significant momentum and should not be nearly as scary or as slept on in the coming weeks, depending on the case.

Chase Wilson
I think I get what you're saying but I know im not quite there. You said you had a rough draft of graphs of this. May I see so I can get a visual representation of what you're saying?
Evan Sanchez
As I said before, I'm struggling to figure out how to make the actual ratings themselves look accurate, which will take a while to figure out since I have to empirically test how the system would look if implemented, and if that actually makes sense. What makes it harder is that doing so is a partially subjective process since I'd have to throw out configurations that give results I deem nonsensical. If I had figured it out already though, then it would already be done and I wouldn't need to go "finish it up and post it".
Not graphs, spreadsheet. It's not visual. Also, it's in a highly WIP state that isn't ready for sharing and wouldn't make any sense yet, I'd have to clean it up considerably beforehand.

They should have made a clone that was younger.

there is one pseudo-clone, his name is Bill Belichick
Joshua Jackson

William Martin
>the no Tom Flores or Don Coryell clones in a shed somewhere.

I agree Dude was alive to see the Charles Woodson play and still took someone who he's only ever known via highlight reels
Luis Reed
?
Joseph Miller
Wasn't aware my favorite player was any of your business.

Oh its not but Ill judge you and your taste regardless

The fuck is this shit
Joseph Walker
Nosebleeds or closer up?
Aaron Clark
>pats ever going 19-0
nah senpai Cam about to BLACKED.com the NFL and win 5 rings in a row on top of 19-0, forever making Tommy deflate balls a foot note in NFL history.
Evan Johnson
what the fuck? those look disgusting

Adrian Nelson
I want clones of the best coaches and coordinators from all time and have them lead the Raiders to a dynasty of dynasties. Imagine: HC is Paul Brown, OC Don Coryell, and Buddy Ryan as the D.C..
Christopher Rodriguez
Eh theyre not that much different than the based powder blue Chargers throwback but theres too much emphasis on the yellow. I can see why thats a sweet ass jersey. Better than Pittsburgh Bumblebees desu
Andrew Reyes
>Jets star who led police on 143 mph chase suspended 3 fewer games than Tom Brady
Pats haters will defend this
Ryan James
offseason nfl generals are all the same
just like Tomo threads
Blake Hall
>Cheat your entire career vs one fuck up
Patsfags pls go
Kayden Morgan
I'm not lol.
Brody Jenkins
Nosebleeds Found some for half the price. Im seriously considering going to a toxins game just for the sake of going to an NFL game 2bh
John Kelly
Ive considered. It'd be pretty cool desu. Make sure you bring money to chill out and drink on. Dallas is only 3 hours south of here but itd suck going to an away game, especially with trash like Cowboys fans everywhere
Easton Wilson
The Brady suspension fiasco is Roger clumsily and idiotically trying to assert his authoritah after being made to look stupid yet again after his team fucked up the initial "investigation" completely. Any and all other suspensions are him effectively doing as he wants, just like with the Brady issue.
Easton Evans
this I dont think many people agree with Brady being suspended for the implication of being involved in an act that, well frankly, a lot of teams (especially ones in colder weather) take advantage of.
Evan Ward
Sometimes I think each hiatus actually makes me feel slightly sicker as they progress.
Jayden Kelly
Why not go to this one then?
Logan Hill
I thought the whole suspension wasn't for deflating but for "refusing to cooperate with the investigation" anyways?
It was for cheating throughout his entire career, Satan.

fuck I bet that would be fun to go to. If I had friends and money of course
John Jones
oh wait I'm awkward and white. I would probably end up getting stabbed for looking at a guy the wrong way.
Nathaniel Walker
Dallas is a fucking 12 hour drive for me senpai.
I live closer to Houston than i do to Mexico City
Honestly i want my first game to be a Broncos one, but i have an itch to go to a game,idk senpaitachi
Easton Mitchell
Is there a more nonsensical, dumb, autistic stat than "on pace" / projected shit?
>some shitter throws for 400 yards in week 1 >OH WOW, HE'S ON PACE TO HAVE 6400 YARDS FOR THE SEASON, LITERAL GOAT !!!
It's on par with baseball having "no-hitter watch" after two innings, pants on head retarded, but you just know these retards will once again spout this bullshit once the season starts.
Leo Watson
stat projections are nothing but blind hope desu imho pham
Wyatt Bennett
>letting espn bait you
/nfl/ meet up for a summer game when
Brayden Murphy
>/nfl/ meet up this is always a bad idea. how many meetups ever turn out to be worth it? /nfl/'s userbase doesn't seem very inspiring, either. especially if it's mostly our tripfags.
Cooper Gray
I paid 100 bucks for Titans@Browns nosebleeds ticket last year lel.
It was still worth every cent for the atmosphere alone.
Ayden Green
Rip Lor Scoota
Easton Richardson
there are millions of Brady haters who will take that headline literally and not read a single word of the rest of the story because >he's Tom Brady and he thinks soda is poison!!!
He's right, though. Kids shouldn't drink sugar water (aka soda) of any kind nearly as much as they tend to across the US; it's just 300 useless calories they have to work off, as /fit/ would probably view it. And Frosted Flakes are gross.
Jason Hughes
Gonna have to agree with Scar, we're too widespread and there aren't very many of us. Maybe if we're all relatively near each other sometime, but I'm not going for a meet up that is farther than a nice day trip.
A localized one with other Eaglesfags could work.
Juan Cooper
tiki or oldbay probably would ruin it desu
It'd be like the "my feet hurt" comic except everyone is wearing jerseys
Joseph Stewart
Or like that one /fa/ meet up.
Christopher Perez
RIP Clops cap space
Liam Parker
true, a meetup among local fans of the same team sounds more worth considering, but not necessarily a good idea. case-by-case basis, however I don't think there are that many fanbases here that have enough fans from the same team to actually make it happen. you'd probably have to infiltrate a ribbit meetup to do that.
the official meetup picture would be reposted here by everyone to show how they all look dead inside
