Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the Bear’s defense is the key to their success.
I’m not a guy who relates every sports argument back to stats. We all know that guy, though. He can usually be found saying ignorant things such as:
“Well, the stats say X so you guys don’t have a chance tonight.”
It’s so gratifying to me when their statistically based predictions go wrong. That’s why the game isn’t played on paper.
But I’m aware stats do have a place in sports, that’s why we keep them. 3 games worth of information isn’t really enough to make long term projections, but I want to take the stats that we have so far and give some context to this up and down season we’re witnessing.
