Welcome to another installment of Crunching The Numbers, a weekly, stats-based game preview I do for Bleeding Green Nation. For more about the stats I use (and why I use them) to make my “armchair coach” observations, check out an archive of previous posts in this series here.
Week 14 In Hindsight (Reader Discretion Advised)
Well, that sucked. For some of us, the season was over a long time ago, but for most of us holding onto hope, that last nail is finally in the coffin.
