My eyes hurt from reading that rainbow chart but it looks like we're tied for 8th worst in terms of total number of blown 4th quarter leads. I wish I had confidence that Pees could change this for the better.

If this chart is valid, then we could say that blowing 4th quarter leads has virtually no impact on long-term success. Basically most of your teams that are good on a pretty consistent basis are blowing like 40% of their 4th quarter leads.

While teams who typically aren't that competitive (Cleveland, Chicago, TB, Detroit, Miami, St.Louis, etc.) don't blow 4th quarter leads that often.

Now, the obvious caveat being that teams that aren't that good are less likely to have 4th quarter leads, and thus are less likely to blow them.

Basically I'm not sure if there's a solid takeaway from this or not.

Win % has to be the most important stat there. Looks like we're 8th-best, not worst.

What are the parameters behind this chart with 4th quarter blown leads?
Because the Ravens have had more than 8 4th quarter blown leads just in the last 3 seasons.

Which is reasonable, given that its looking back six years. I doubt we had nearly as many blown leads in 2011-2012 as we did in future years.

Does that table mean our d has blown 15 4th qtr leads but we managed to regain the lead and win 7?
