Don’t Look Back; Look Ahead

By Jeremy Hritz on Thursday, January 19th, 2012 | 3 Comments

By Jeremy Hritz Right now, it still hurts for Steelers fans. Two of our most hated opponents will battle for the AFC crown that we proudly wore last year. And in the NFC, we have to watch the other hated Harbaugh and the Eli Manning-led New York Giants. While Sunday will no doubt be agonizing as it reminds us of what could have been, it is time to move on. And what better way to do so than taking a closer look at the 2012-2013 Steelers’ opponents. Opponents’ 2011 Records: 103-105 (.495) 2011 Playoff Opponents on 2012 Schedule: 4 – Baltimore, Cincinnati, Denver, New York Giants Divisional Read more [...]

Harrison & Farrior Point Out Steelers Bias In Regards To Elam Hit On Spurlock

By Dave Bryan on Sunday, December 18th, 2011 | 10 Comments

The Dallas Cowboys game Saturday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was pretty much a laugher from the get-go, but two Pittsburgh Steelers players did not get a laugh out of the Cowboys final defensive play of the game. On 4th down and 12 from the Buccaneers 18 yard-line, Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman threw a pass down the right sideline to wide receiver Michael Spurlock, who had a step on Cowboys cornerback Terence Newman. The ball seemed to be slightly overthrown and Spurlock let up when he caught Cowboys safety Abram Elam closing out of the corner of his eye. The pictures below show Read more [...]

Looking At The Adjusted Net Yards Per Passing Attempt Differential Stat

By Dave Bryan on Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 | 1 Comment

It has been a while since I checked up on the adjusted net yards per passing attempt differential stat so I decided to research it and post the results. adjusted net yards per passing attempt differential is the difference of the adjusted yards per passing attempt on offense versus that allowed on defense. To get a true adjusted yards per passing attempt stat, we use the formula explained in a book called The Hidden Game of Football. That formula, as explained on Pro Football Reference, is: (pass yards + 20*(pass TD) – 45*(interceptions thrown) – sack yards)/(passing attempts + sacks). We do this Read more [...]

By Dave Bryan on Monday, June 20th, 2011 | No Comments

Steelers linebacker James Harrison checked in at #21 on the NFL top 100 players of 2011 list that the NFL Network has been running for the last several weeks.
