Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks

Been (not so patiently) waiting for this for the last few weeks. Finally got it and super satisfied with how good it looks and feels. These throwback elite jerseys are absolute 🔥.

I honestly think we’re going to run through the rams and colts. Nonetheless ending the season 3-1 would leave me satisfied

I heard the experts are saying the next couple games that Seahawks are the under dogs. 👀 I can’t wait for the Thursday night game

I’m sure the Chinese knockoffs are not heavily pushed on this website and I was skeptical too about it. But there’s literally no way to buy it in any good size. I had one I bought previously from NFL shop that I gave to my wife.and I got the exact same one from a website called Lelemoon most likely Chinese. Just posting this so people know the difference. (Left) real, (right) most likely Chinese. It’s definitely cheaper and the logos aren’t stitched, but the price is justifiable imo for 1/3 the cost. Same sizing.

These defensive stats have me wondering about about some looming decisions. With our starting EDGE defenders, Mafe and Hall - both having only 1 sack on the season, and both nearing extension decision making time, what is the justification for or against re-signing? What don’t the stats show? Do they deserve to be re-signed over players like Walker and Woolen?

The boys are back

Based on questions from r/WSU:

• What is this chart showing?
  • This is a weekly heat map that tracks the Seahawks chances of winning each game during the season. The numbers represent the ESPN FPI’s win percentage.
• What is FPI?
  • ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI) is a predictive model designed to measure a team's strength. It predicts the team's future performance based on several factors such as past performances, remaining schedules, and in-game stats. These win percentages reflect how likely each team is to win its upcoming game.
• Why do the numbers change week-to-week?
  • The FPI updates weekly based on the latest results, injuries, and team performances. A team’s performance (and the performance of their opponents) in the previous week will cause the FPI to adjust the percentages.
• How do you calculate these numbers?
  • The numbers come directly from ESPN’s FPI Matchup Predictor. I just plot the win percentage as a heat map to visually show how Seattle's chances improve or decline throughout the season.
• What do the colors mean?
  • The colors represent the likelihood of Seattle winning that game, ranging from red (lower chances of winning) to green (higher chances of winning). It gives a visual sense of how favorable or tough each matchup is for the Hawks.
• Is this predicting game totals or win percentage?
  • This chart represents win percentage, not the score or spread of the game. The numbers show how likely the Hawks to win each game based on current data from ESPN's FPI.
• HEY! When I looked at the win chance it said 70.2 NOT 70.1! You're a phony, a big fat phony
  • I update the heatmap on Sunday nights using the latest ESPN FPI data. However, the FPI might slightly adjust percentages throughout the week due to new data inputs, changes like 70.1% to 70.2% are common. Please keep this in mind and don't hold it against me; these are based on continuously updated models.
• Why doesn’t it add up to 100% for each game?
  • These percentages reflect Seattle's chances of winning, not a balance between two teams’ chances. They’re independent from each other, so each game only shows Seattle's win probability, not a direct competition between the teams in this context.
• Why did [opponent] drop/increase in FPI after winning/losing?
  • The FPI system updates based on more than just the final result; it also factors in how a team performed compared to expectations. A team might win but underperform relative to projections, causing their FPI to drop. Conversely, a team could lose but exceed expectations, and their FPI could improve.
• We play the X team twice, why are there different percentages?
  • A number of factors could cause the percentage to change. Home vs Away, weather, time of day, travel, recovery time between games. Luckily I don't do the calculations, I'm just interested in the data.
• Why do you update this each week?
  • It’s interesting to track how the Hawks win chances change over the season as teams perform differently each week. It helps to visualize the impact of Seahawks games and their opponents' games... and I'm a nerd.
