I mean, if a guard has a pulling assignment on the 4 gap on a run, and the dog backer shoots the  open gap, and the fullback misses the block and the ball carrier is tackled for a loss, who exactly is defeated?

Whatever it is, yeah, it's retarded alright.  Why can't a TFL just be a TFL?  Why does it have to be a "defeat", when there could be multiple players involved in how it develops?

I mean, if a guard has a pulling assignment on the 4 gap on a run, and the dog backer shoots the  open gap, and the fullback misses the block and the ball carrier is tackled for a loss, who exactly is defeated?  The guard?  The fullback?  The ball carrier?  WTF?

The offense.  And a TFL is still a TFL, lefty.  They've just combined it with other things here to get an overall picture of how a player is performing.

QuoteYou tackle a guy on 3rd and 10 after 8 yards and get a "defeat?"  That's retarded.

You just made the offense punt, so yeah, that's a defeat.  It doesn't matter how many yards they got, they're giving the ball back to your offense.  If they don't punt, you don't get one until you stop them on 4th down.  The drive has to end because of the play made. 

The defeat stat is one of football outsiders things, you spergy fuckin mooks.  I just shows basically how much a defensive player is kicking ass, and includes a lot of things.  It's not that difficult to understand.  Stop nuking it.

QuoteDefeats: The total number of plays by a defensive player that prevent the offense from gaining first down yardage on third or fourth down, stop the offense behind the line of scrimmage, or result in a turnover. "Plays" refers to tackles, passes defensed, fumbles forced, or interceptions. See Stops.

That was a nice pass by Flacco for the TD.  I liked the Audi commercial.  Like a fuckin boss.

Kruger?  I'm about 10 minutes behind right now.  The wife insisted on watching a bunch of shit before kickoff so we rewound the thing. Women.  :rolleyes:

Goddamn I don't understand how I watched anything on that other TV.  Now I need a new one for the back too. :P

Oh there's Kruger.  Nice play.

:D  I made her fast forward through the kids/survivors singing or whatever that was, but mostly let it go because it means I can fast forward through a lot of stupid halftime shit.  Like whatever garbage Beyonce rolls out with, for example.
