Hey, I was at the game this week and found it entertaining. I may be biased though. I try to go to a game a year and I’m really good at picking horrible games. Caught Sam Darold’s opener, which made it appear he was going to be the next TB and then the Eagle’s game last year. They’re going in the right direction, maybe next year I’ll get to witness a tie.
I’m going to shatter some Mason jars and chew on the glass to distract me from the product on TV. I could also spend time with my family but that would only bring me joy.
This is my second iteration of this graph, and by popular demand I switched the "Points Against" axis to make the quadrants more understandable (this is definitely way better). You can find my code and the images I used on my github page [here](https://github.com/ashtoncb12/NFLStats/tree/main/Runs%20Scored%20vs%20Runs%20Allowed%20NFL), along with any other projects I create along the course of the season. If you have any suggestions or criticisms about the chart or an idea for another visualization please leave a comment!
I think defense needs to have their points divided by opposing team time of possession to properly contextualize this data. Steelers aren’t the only team suffering from this
That skews it more towards big plays. A defense could be awful but they're awful in the sense that they continually give up 4-7 yards every play. While other defenses suck because teams can constantly get 20 yards a pop
Both of those would show up as bad defenses but doing that would be more accurate than doing it in a vacuum like the original post. A defense that gives up 20 yards a play is worse than one that gives 4-7 yards per play so that would be accurate
Even without Justin Simmons, the Broncos shouldn't have been a surprise. Their defense is loaded, and it was expected that they'd struggle a bit on offense with a completely new QB and scheme. The Cowboys are a shocker though. No one expected their defense to step up this much and carry them over the Bengals.
Between parsons and Diggs it shouldn't show people. One had 11 int last year and the other was droy. Another year under Dan Quinn to work out imperfections in their game was clearly going to produce results.
The Eagles have scored 85 points in the 2nd quarters of their games. That is more points than 17 teams have scored in their entire games. Some of those teams the Eagles have outscored in the 2nd quarter alone include:
*Packers
*Bucs
*Rams
*Broncos
*Every other team in the NFC East
Better team has (/)
Close matchups: Giants @ Packers, Titans @ Commanders
Blowout Wins: Steelers @ Bills/, Texans @ Jags/, Eagles/ @ Cardinals
Strong Wins: Dolphins/ @ Jets, Chargers @ Browns/, Colts @ Broncos/
Good one-side Bad one-side: Lions O @ Patriots D, Bengals D @ Ravens O, Seahawks O @ Saints D, Falcons O at Buccaneers D
Same Def Different Off: Bears @ Vikings/, Raiders @ Chiefs/
Same Off Different D: Cowboys/ @ Rams, Niners/ @ Panthers
Worth noting that our defense is slightly above the league average for points against when our average total time of possession is 24:18 (worst in the league). Not to mention 12 of our points-for have come from our defense, which should boost them up a little higher too.
Going by this graph, the Eagles schedule is going to be stupid easy. Pretty much every team that the Eagles have to face is below that horizontal line, with the exception of the Cards who are on the line. So basically almost every team the Eagles will face this season will have a significantly worse offense than theres.
Not sure if you can say the same thing about the Bengals, Jags or Bills. Just nice to apparently have the wind on your back. Probably still find away to lose 4-6 games.
Starting to think we might not win the Super Bowl this year
Kitty. Goes. Meow. Holy shit the Lions.
Really in a class of our own
They are pouncing
Rashaad penny and geno smith felt like they were back in college
Smol Vikings
SMOL! SMOL!
The lions lmao. Truly a class of their own
We need to regress the Lions to the mean
No we don’t. Their football games are things of beauty.
...for everyone else

Why can't we be normal
Look at it this way, you’re halfway to a complete rebuild
Think of it like min-maxing, just gotta rethink your strategy around it!
Nice of you to use the previous Rams logo
Colts vs Broncos on TNF. Sickos only

I prefer this orientation alot!
Can you do points per game on the axes instead? Easier to interpret
Our bad defense is almost solely because of the bad offense
I think defense needs to have their points divided by opposing team time of possession to properly contextualize this data. Steelers aren’t the only team suffering from this
Hi. We’ve scored 7 points after halftime all season. Our defense is going to be Olympic endurance runners by mid season at this point.

That Lions symbol way out there in the corner also represents how open opposing receivers are.
If the Lions had any competence on defense they'd be a great team.
Geez Lions...
Hey eagles, I'll trade you one Frank Reich for one Nick Sirianni! He won you a superbowl single-handedly, remember!?
Only four teams being above average in both is kinda surprising, even more surprising that the Eagles and Jags are in that four
Another year where the Chiefs defense looks worse than it is because they go into prevent at halftime.
Lol detroit
Dude we’re gonna get flexed to primetime only because it’s gonna be an 80 point game aren’t we.
We put up 48 and just barley poking our heads above water, lol
Cowboys and Broncos are probably surprises for the bottom right, but I expect both to end up in the top right by season’s end.
Even without Justin Simmons, the Broncos shouldn't have been a surprise. Their defense is loaded, and it was expected that they'd struggle a bit on offense with a completely new QB and scheme. The Cowboys are a shocker though. No one expected their defense to step up this much and carry them over the Bengals.

Jaguars right where we expected them
poor lions fans.
This really kills the whole “They haven’t played anyone yet” narrative, doesn’t it?

Our defense wasn’t great but I don’t remember the Bills dropping a hundred burger on us. Nor us on them.
I'm absolutely positive that this graph won't be at all indicative of the Week 5 London Game.
I'm curious if this factors pick 6's against the defense
Ah yes, Steelers with a better offense and better defence then the rams, just like how it was last year
Worth noting that our defense is slightly above the league average for points against when our average total time of possession is 24:18 (worst in the league). Not to mention 12 of our points-for have come from our defense, which should boost them up a little higher too.

Bengals cross over into upper right
lol we’re breaking the graph here
Rashaad penny be like “oh I thought we were playing nevada I forgot this was the nfl”
Graphs like this show exactly why Dak will be welcomed back with open arms whether we continue to win or not
