Point differential per quarter through Week 8

[Ruminator]

Pretty interesting. Some oddities. Like, Bucs and Panthers. No doubt some good teams with low + or red negative 4th quarter PD is due to some easing up on the gas with leads late in the game.

I find this fascinating.

Also -

- the Titans are ******* terrible
- the broncos are a fraud

Rams/Seahawks comparison is interesting. While Rams have plus differential all four quarters (+11, +10, +25, +15), only one quarter is in Seahawk Q1 Q2 and Q3 territory (+24, +24, +26). Course, this is all largely determined by the opponents teams have played so far.

Cardinals fourth quarter differential is abysmal. Indicative of the team going all-out the first three quarters and then getting gassed by the fourth?

Also, they have a pouty, bitch face frontrunner QB and young Head coach. I don't recall the last time I saw Kyler looking like he really enjoyed getting paid to be a millionaire starting QB. When we played them, it even looked like it was rubbing off on Harrison Jr.

Wait, how can we be 5-2 while losing the 4th quarter so badly?

It's... PHILOSOPHICAL.

But, damn, the Colts come tf ALIVE in the 2nd . They are an interesting team that I still can't tell if they are just benefiting from not really playing the meat of their schedule yet or not.

I guess you can win in the first quarter, second quarter, and third quarter.

+3 in wins. I like that stat.

The 4th quarter point differential is probably a result of a few factors. One, the Seahawks are not good yet at putting teams away. That may be partly a result of coaching decisions. The other factor is that when you have a big lead in the 4th quarter, the other team is furiously trying to put points on the board while you take the foot off the gas. That happened in the games against the Saints, Jaguars and Texans, when those teams scored in the 4th quarter and the Seahawks did not.

Hopefully that will be how many points we beat the lambs by. Just to be a little ironic lol
Pleas football gods let us win and blow em out if it is not too much to ask

Plus 6 for the 29ers? With the easiest schedule in football? Dayum.
