Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

as always great stuff Brian

P.S. still waiting for that email ;)

Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

What do you mean you're still waiting for that email? I sent it a couple of weeks ago? (which is why I was wondering why you were asking me to look so many things up the past couple of weeks).

Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

really?

Honestly, I never got it.

Can you resend it... mike@predsff.com

Thanks!

Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

Done.

Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

Good stuff. Now if only 2-3 was not my best start ever. BTW, I have ever won 3 in row? I can't imagine it has ever happened (and I doubt it will happen here, but I figured it can't hurt to ask).

Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

Yes, you won 3 in a row in 2001, weeks 8-10. You are the only franchise not to have won 4 in a row yet.

Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

Something to shoot for...

Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

Got em!

Excellant stuff... I can't believe the amount of work you have to put in to them to keep them current, but the data is FANTASTIC!

Gonna see if I can somehow modify them or tweak them to automate them a bit... but I have a feeling that the manual input you do is likely a necessity. What I've seen makes updating the roster app seem minimal by comparison!

How much time a week does it take you?

Absolutely great work Brian!

Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

I've got it down to a pretty quick process. This league take me a little longer than my local league (12 teams vs 10 seems like a lot more when I'm doing this). Probably about 1-2 hours for my local league, and a little over 2 for this one. That's counting the time I get distracted at work with real work and such.

Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

I'm gonna see if I can intereconnect any of the data between files and cut down some of the data entry... but at first glance it doesn't look too promising!

Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

As long as I'm spreading praise around (see the roster app thread), I just want to thank Brian for keeping these records. I look forward to seeing these reports every week, and I appreciate the work that goes into maintaining them. I'm sure I speak for everybody. Three cheers! :toast: :toast: :toast:

Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

I concur I have not seen the full files but based on the depth and quality of the information I can only imagine the effort involved.

Thanks!!

BTW, do you think it might be possible to post some of this stuff on the league website after each season. I would not want to have to see it updated too frequently but after each season would give everyone a chance to peruse it.

Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

I could post some limited amount of the information on the website at the conclusion of each year. I'll look into that.

Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

Excellent thanks. BTW, it would probably help us get more free Stat Books if FBG's has that offer again next year.

Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

It would be nice if they had that offer pre-draft time. It was a cool book and all, but only of minimal use after the season has started.

Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

I thought the book was highly overrated myself. I haven't had a chance to look at the files on the CD yet, but from what I've looked at, I can't say it's something I would pay for!

Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

I agree. I was more interested in getting some love for the league. I still say it is the best out there.

Re: Sam's week 5 Notes
 

I think if I had the book before the draft, I would have used it extensively to do research into different trends, and coaching tendencies. Not having done that work, I don't know how useful the information would have been. I haven't looked at the CD either, but that's probably where the real value is. I'll pop it in one of these days.
