When DVOA turned against us: A Seahawks story
The “DVOA Title” is something that honestly has not been relevant to probably any other fanbase except for the Seattle Seahawks and the 12th Man. No offense to Aaron Schatz and FootballOutsiders, but in order for something like that to be relevant, it would have to be:
A) Recent. I don’t think advanced football stats penetrated the collective landscape (and still really haven’t) until very recently.
B) Something you’ve won. The Seahawks have won every DVOA title since 2012. Not many other fans have experienced that joy in the moment, the most recent non-Seattle team finishing first in DVOA being the Green Bay Packers in 2011 when they went 15-1.
That Packers team had a DVOA of 27%.
