That doesn't make me an Aaron Curry fan Oh so you're a '94 9ers fan yourself without the offense. Yeah you might not get back to where you were but you probably won't have to deal with Eddie DeBartolo, seems like another win for Seattle.

Just ask the 2007 Patriots. And the 2007 Pats fans over and over because its fun.

Well it sort of is for the exact reasons you just said. Results in sports are talent + random events including luck. A good portion of regression to the mean in sports is that luck evening out. It can also be attributed to the underlying reason for the sophomore slump, the SI curse, etc.

Yeah, considering that people usually get on the cover of Madden after having a career best season, it's easy to see why they'd regress Of course, when the Madden Curse results in a jail sentence for dog fighting...

Spoeank posted:Well it sort of is for the exact reasons you just said. Results in sports are talent + random events including luck. Regression to mean is more about overperforming rather than performing to your expected ability. For instance, a QB like Foles having the statistical year he had. Next year, he will likely regress to his mean, which may be terrible or it may be really good. We won't know for a couple years honestly. With a more dynamic thing like teams, regression to the mean means that they will got form good to average. The Patriots (and likey) the Seahawks won't regress to the mean. They will still be really really good. If the Broncos win 14 games this year, but not the Super Bowl, they are aren't overachieving, they are doing what is natural. Basically, there is a difference between regressing to the mean and failing to win a game in the playoffs. If the Seahawks go 9-7 then I will say they regressed to the mean. But if they make the playoffs and win a game, you can't say that even if they don't win the Super Bowl.

Seahawks have had two Madden covers since 2006 - has any other team had two Madden cover players that soon apart? How many teams have even had two Madden cover players ever? Clearly Seahawks rule, especially late-career Shaun Alexander. Edit: The Alexander Madden cover was actually Madden 07???? Good god, he was terrible in 2006. How did that happen? gohuskies fucked around with this message at 06:47 on Jul 22, 2014 |

The Seahawks won like six regular season games by one possession when the other team had them dead to rights through most of the game and that's the sort of thing that can regress to the mean very, very easily between seasons. If they lose any one of those games and/or Drew Brees doesn't get that ticky tack call the Seahawks don't even reach the Super Bowl last year.

Swickles my man we're saying the same thing but in different ways and with different viewpoints on regression in athletics. The Seahawks' mean (extracting flukiness) is different than the Jags' mean. Regression to the mean in sports doesn't mean getting closer to average it means getting closer to that player or team's true talent level. Foles would regress because his non-picks that randomly bounced off DBs' hands will be caught. The Seahawks won't necessarily have random weird wins like the Titans game last year. Like I said, it's extracting the luck from the results and getting to a team or a player's true talent level. Its the same theory behind bounce back players.
