Extrapolated Stats: Week 1

by David Taylor on Sep 13, 2011 12:36 PM CDT

Is there a better time to guesstimate how the Chicago Bears will fare than after a season opening victory over the Atlanta Falcons? You know, since one game a season makes and all that jazz.

Here's a 16-game extrapolation of team and player statistics based solely off the Bears week one victory. Huzzah!

FIRST DOWNS (Rushing-passing-by penalty)	64 - 176 - 32	48 - 224 - 48
THIRD DOWN CONVERSIONS	96/256 (0.375)	64/208 (0.308)

The end around has replaced the fullback dive as the object of our derision.

Thats what I kept saying to my buddy when I watched the game

with Turner in 09 it seemed like 2nd and 8…Fullback dive…3rd and 1…fullback dive…I think Martz had Robbie as his kicker in fantasy football so he uses the end around to kill the drive so Robbie can kick a field goal

if it's not one POS play

then it’s another. fullback dive replaced (for me) the nogood very bad awful shovel pass that they used to do in the 90’s.

I like the way you think, sir

Although i think i’d have to find some way to weight Cutler’s yardage extrapolation so that he could toss for 5k. That would be sweet.

Jay Cutler is our quarterback, baby! Please pass the nitroglycerin tablets.

by juperee on Sep 13, 2011 12:53 PM CDT reply actions

Roy Williams - 0 TD's

As you can see, he is a total bust. But it’s nice to see Peppers and Melton both shatter the single-season sack records.

At $300 million, I don't want Albert Pujols anywhere near the Cubs.

So it has been extrapolated. So it shall come to pass.

Those seem like low stats to expect out of Urlacher.

I didn't realize that Hester and Knox ended up with exactly the same stats.

That means that Devin only had 7 yards on 2 receptions without the one big play.

by BearFan611 on Sep 13, 2011 4:53 PM CDT reply actions

i lol'd at Forte's 1440 receiving yards

that would be exceptional if our 1000 yard receiver was actually our RB…and if he has over 2000 yards from scrimmage JA better be ready to pony up that 20 million in gurantees

Sucks that

we won’t have any rushing touchdowns this year.

Donovan McNabb’s extrapolated statistics.

You too should keep this up for the entire season.

Because you’re one of our kind.

by Just Dave on Sep 14, 2011 7:46 PM CDT up reply actions

The only offensive numbers that jump out as crazy

would be Forte’s receiving yards and Cutler’s passing yards. And of course the passing TDs would be distributed differently (and there will probably be 6-8 fewer of them with 6-8 more rushing TDs).

But the passing yards for the WR seem somewhat reasonable. I’d expect ~800-900 yards each for two WR out of Hester/Knox/Williams, 500-600 yards each for Forte, Bennett, and the other of the Hester/Knox/Williams trio, and ~300 yards for Davis. If you subtract 800 yards from Forte and Cutler and redistribute the offensive TDs, that’s probably not an unreasonable outcome.

Of course, 80 sacks would probably result in much lower numbers for Cutler (because he’d probably get hurt). So hopefully that number goes way down.

Times both those by 10 or remove the percent

96/256 (0.375%) 64/208 (0.308%)

Other than that, it’s great.

Missed a 0 there bud.

Yup.

Thanks for the catch though, Hamsta.
