If you don't like DVOA then give a reasonable explanation of why it is flawed other than you just don't like it. Or provide a different source that backs up your reasons like has been done here with DVOA.
Well the only thing any Seahawk fan here is pointing to is DVOA. Which we've well established is an efficiency rating and nothing more. I'm really happy for your team efficiency. Too bad efficiency doesn't predict who will win.
Why is Carolina better?
We have the league MVP, you don't.
We have 10 probowlers, you have 7.
We have 8 all pros, you have 3.
We won 15 games, you won 10.
We have the #1 offense in the league.
We beat you head to head in your house.
We're playing at home this time.
Next, you start talking from both sides of your mouth again. Criticizing schedule, even though you lost to the Rams twice, us, and really the Vikings as well. You'll claim Russel was the MVP not Cam, even though Cam IS the MVP. You'll say our head to head win doesn't matter, while also claiming your pedigree makes all the difference. Then you'll talk a lot about your precious DVOA again because it's really the only thing you can point to that makes any argument for Seattle to win. Those notes above sir are the reason DVOA is flawed. DVOA said we should win 11 games, it was wrong. DVOA said you should win 12-13 games, it was wrong. DVOA says you should win this weekend and it will be wrong again.
It's all really pointless because you'll devalue anything that indicates Carolina will win. You blindly think you have a better team even though the ProBowl, All-Pro, head to head, and overall record disagree with you. You keep thinking your peaking at the right time, even though your team was awful last week, but hey, it was cold, that's the excuse there. The Vikings played in the same weather and played well enough to win that game. Your team is flawed, at times this season this board has been realistic about that, but now the blinders are on. Carolina will bring you back to earth this Sunday, I'll be there in person to watch it.
I'll be back to eat crow and congratulate you if I'm wrong.
