BigBlue Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Based on the transactions to date who rises, who falls in the standings: East - Durant will make the Alouettes a contender again .... will see what Calvillo can do to keep hin uporight .... don't know how much the management coaching team is going to help or hurt but I suspect the latter Hamilton lost a lot in free agency and does not seem to have a plan to change their status quo ... still Austin must have something up his sleeve ..... If Collaros is healthy all year maybe the Cats take a run at first Ottawa has been on wheels the last two years and maybe one is about to fall off .... salary capp you know .... pass and catch game is on a definite down tick ... best legacy so first or second still likely but third is a real possibility In Toronto we will see QB management that will make a huge difference on the Trestman team .... will have a much better record but no cigar this year Edited March 15, 2017 by BigBlue
BigBlue Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) West Calgary just keeps doing everything right ... no signs of a crack anywhere .... best management in the league .... their QB decisions is where some type of fault may show up Edmonton hasn't been plagued by a player Exodus to Jones ... a lot of shuffling but nothing I can see that will change life much for them .... in a 2 or 3 way fight for 2nd, again .... anybody see differently? Huge loss of US personnel is Wally's challenge but he is a recruiting machine ... may be some early season weakness but am guessing will pick up momentum as the season progresses ... will surprise on resiliency Regina will likely improve on D but the offence looks like it will be a sorting out disaster all year .... Jones's ego is not enough to fuel the boat and the water won't rise put of the basement Is MOS short for Moses and our quest for the promised land? I think we are better than last year but no where near the dynasty building stage ... a cup in 2018 more likely than 2017 ... should be more fun than last year .... maybe MOS just needs to grow his beard longer Edited March 15, 2017 by BigBlue Mark F and Tracker 2
bearpants Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 17 hours ago, Rich said: Why would you not consider it a real stat? 82% tells you how many field goals they made vs attempts. My understanding of points above expected is it takes into account the distance (or difficulty) of the field goals attempted and made. I don't quite understand this stat... so if a kicker lines up for a 50-yarder, would that be considered "not expected to make" so if he makes it he would be 3 point above expected?.... then does it consider weather and wind too?... wouldn't someone technically have to review almost every kick all season and make a judgement on if it is expected or not?...

It could potentially take into account all of those things and that is part of the problem with the way Dunk reports these numbers. All I've ever seen from him is pictures of portions of his spreadsheets that he sends out on Twitter without explanations as to what numbers go into them, or what his methodology is. The NFL sites that track and post these analytics at least define and tell you what and how they are calculating things. Here is a sample from an NFL analytics site: http://archive.advancedfootballanalytics.com/2012/01/temperature-and-field-goals.html What you would basically do is compare the league average of each kick for a kicker based on down, distance, (maybe temperature / wind speed) and see if overall they are making more or less then league average on each kick then add all of those up for their overall number.

The Unknown Poster Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 Riders didn't know. Found out when reporters called. Reaves played last season out on bail and his trial is nov 20th. Brandon and wbbfan 2

Taynted_Fayth Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 in any case this is disappointing, I was rooting for Reaves to carve himself out a CFL career. The irony is many Rider fans were mocking the Stamps and Tommy Campbell for getting caught with a bag full of crack a few months ago. Guess they have some crow to eat Brandon and wbbfan 2
bigg jay Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 The article says he was arrested in early 2016. It also says he has a 2008 conviction for trafficking. Not good. Brandon and wbbfan 2

blueingreenland Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 Reaves is facing some tough times. Hopefully this is his "rock bottom" and through this he can get the help he needs to turn his life around for good. His football career though, may be over...

Tracker Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 The vast majority of nose candy dealers are users who have turned to retailing to pay for their own habit and then have found out how lucrative it can be. Jordan was the author of his own misfortune but I feel most for his parents. Willard was/is a good guy but this is a parent's nightmare.
