Seahawks team grades by quarter

[GeekHawk]

Okay, so being a geek I tend to keep track of (and grade)the Seahawks record by quarter. 4 games per quarter, so 4 wins = A, 3 wins = B, 2 wins = C, 1 win = D, no wins = F. No grading on a curve here! Just what they objectively earn. Here are the wins per quarter in the Pete Carroll era (y'all could have done this on your own, but I went ahead for you):



(I hope the formatting posts as-is! Otherwise this sort of thing is hard to read and I'll have to go back and turn this into a picture or something)

Out of 9 full seasons, we've had no Fs in the first quarter, one D, and one A (2013, the Glory Year). Otherwise it's been 2 Bs and 5 Cs. With a win tomorrow we get only the 3rd first-quarter B of the PC era, with a loss we get the 6th C. No matter what happens, we're still doing alright so far.

A tie is half a win and half a loss, so 2.5 wins in 2016 Q2.

<edit> dammit! the formatting didn't stick. sorry!

Interesting. Thanks. I've wondered this.

So, using your numbers, the average wins per quarter of season is:

Q1: 2.33
Q2: 2.17
Q3: 2.89
Q4: 2.44

It would be interesting to weight this by overall season record and home/away ratio. Also, the 2017 Q4 result of one win should be named after Blair phvcking Walsh.

I was hoping someone would do some things with the numbers to pull out some wisdom or something. :mrgreen:

Figuring the win/loss record is easy, since you know the wins per year and there's 16 games. I'll go back and make a similar chart of the home games per quarter for each year and post it in a couple minutes. Mostly I'm trying to make my truck project start today, but right now I'm in a bit of a rain delay.

Just finishing up the wiring adaptations to make the '74 Mercury solid-state ignition work with the '67 F100 wiring, along with replacing the horribly-corroded fusebox with 2 cheapo aftermarket boxes. It's a rustbucket so I'm not spending top dollar on top-shelf parts. But what I *am* doing is putting a sweetened-up '74 400M and C6 out of my old 74 Cougar in. All the money (what I've spent, at least) has gone into getting the truck body and making the engine more powerful.

Not that anybody cares about all that, but I like talking about it. :irishdrinkers:

Seahawks home games per quarter (year). Not sure if I see any correlation between wins in a quarter and home games in a quarter. Maybe it would correlate closer if I went for home games vs win/loss, but that's too much work for me right now.

I don't have the data broken down by quarter like this but here are the correlations by individual week of the regular season.

Home vs. Wins = 0.22
Positive correlation because we win more at home than on the road. 22% of our wins could be explained due to home field advantage.

Week vs. Wins = 0.08
Small positive correlation. We have been more likely to win as the season progresses but it's a weak effect.

Week vs. Wins (Home only) = -0.14
Week vs. Wins (Road only) = 0.24
We've played much better on the road late in the season than early in the season. To a lesser degree, we are better at home early in the season - potentially because our opponents are also worse on the road early in the season.
