WELCOME to QuantCoach.com, the only site on the world-wide web that provides meaningful professional football coaching statistics. QuantCoach.com's revolutionary coaching statistics are derived from a peer-reviewed and generally accepted theory of competition known as Growth Theory. Veteran coach Bill Parcells once said, "If they want you to cook the dinner, at least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries." But Growth Theory teaches us that success "springs from better recipes, not just from more cooking." In professional football, those "recipes" are the plays that coaches design. Simply, QuantCoach.com's coaching statistics separate the contribution of plays to pro football success from the contribution of players.

Championship Round Thoughts

Baltimore's 23-20 loss to New England in the AFC Championship Game was an almost perfect carbon copy of the Ravens' 23-20 loss to the Patriots in Week 6 of the 2010 season. In both games, Baltimore enjoyed a plus-2 turnover edge. Quarterback Joe Flacco averaged 8.34 (2010) and 8.35 (AFC Title) yards per pass attempt while Tom Brady averaged 6.5 and 6.3, respectively. In 2010, Baltimore was about 6% better designed and 4.19 more productive while in the AFC Championship the Ravens were 5.6% better designed and 4.75 more productive. In 2010, the Patriots won on kicker Steven Gostkowski's field goal in overtime. In the AFC Title, the Patriots won when Baltimore kicker Billy Cundiff's missed field goal prevented overtime. Amazing.

**********
San Francisco punt returner Kyle Williams lost 2 fumbles in the 49ers 20-17 loss to New York in the NFC Championship Game. But just as significantly, it was only the third time all year that the opposition did not subsidize San Francisco with at least 2 turnovers. During the regular season, Detroit did not give Jim Harbaugh's team any turnovers, but the 49ers still won 24-19. Brother John's Baltimore team did turn the ball over in the Ravens 16-6 win in the Har Bowl. Giants quarterback Eli Manning was sacked, hit, and pressured frequently, but he stubbornly refused to make the big mistake. That is why New York is in the Super Bowl.
