Dean Pees goes off...........
Anyone who says coaches don't care they got another thing coming. Pees goes off on a little rant. I like the fire.

I'll tell you what I like. The players are blaming themselves. The coaches are blaming THEMselves. This isn't the players throwing the coaches under the bus and vice versa.
Everyone has the right attitude here. That's a good thing.

Re: Dean Pees goes off...........
The players have acknowledged it. The coaches have acknowledged it. Yet, I have to sit here and listen to posters go on with their petty statistics about how it's not as bad as it looks?

Re: Dean Pees goes off...........
FTR, in a long career as a statistician I usually found that people who denigrate statistics either don't like what they have to say, don't understand what they have to say, or can't count past ten without taking off shoes. Just saying.
While it may have been every bit as bad as it looked, in fact it may not be as bad as it looks, because a lot of it may be fixable. The reason the coaches & players are pissed off is precisely because they believe it's fixable--if they were just getting steamrollered by superior talent they'd be more surly than angry. And as everyone admits, the fixing starts with better concentration & technique when tackling. Do they get that done? Does it make a difference? Tune in Sunday.

Data will tell you anything if you torture them long enough.

Re: Dean Pees goes off...........
I prefer a version of that quote from an economics paper published in 1892:
An old jest runs to the effect that there are three degrees of comparison among liars. There are liars, there are outrageous liars, and there are scientific experts. This has lately been adapted to throw dirt upon statistics.One can usually find some kind of statistic to support any argument.
Statisticians are exquisitely sensitive to these facts; we do everything in our power to minimize the random errors and maximize the power of our tests to detect effects that are not only statistically significant but meaningful; we describe our results very carefully; and we are very mindful that our customers understand the limits of what can be discovered with the tools & data we have.
We get very angry when someone "cherry-picks" our work to make claims that aren't supported by the analysis. We get even angrier when a customer tells us from the outset that our analysis is expected to support certain preconceived notions.
Fortunately, most intelligent managers don'[t misuse us in that way. They use statistical analysts to sift through masses of data & discover what is in fact going on underneath it all, so that they can make good decisions. </rant>
I can't speak for anyone else here, but I parse Ravens defensive statistics looking for general trends in order to conjecture what might be causing them, in order to understand where & how they need to improve. I have no preconceived notions as to who or what is at fault that I would be looking to justify by the numbers. OK?

All I know is I wish I was in the locker room to hear to rays pregame speech to the team.... It's gonna be epic!
But on topic... These coming weeks will show what coach DP is made of when and how well he can disguise different packages. These moments are what make NFL coaches great.
