Go back and look at the replay or play by play, I think you may perceive it differently with a closer look.



The dip at the 4 minute mark is when we punt. After that, the Seahawks win probability goes up with each play that the Cardinals run because Arians gave up and decided a sure 12 point loss was more attractive than taking a long shot for a win and likely getting blown out.

Great post(s) Dib.

It's funny how human emotion can override logic sometimes. I think as Seahawks fans, we've been conditioned by brutal losses and poor officiating and compounding tough breaks to never feel comfortable until we have a 25 point lead. The game really did feel suspenseful, even at the end, when in reality Arizona was an extreme long shot for the entire 4th quarter.

If you graphed my emotions, it would look nothing like that chart. But that's my fault. The chart is right. EPA/WPA is a garbage individual stat, but I love WP charts. No matter how we felt while the game was going, the chart usually ends up being the more correct assessment of the two.

Those damn dips in the middle of the WP chart are brutal.
