[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 844763, member: 282"] There’s a difference between good seasons and outlier seasons. If you win 4 games a year every year and then suddenly you go undefeated, that’s an outlier. Keep in mind, even if you did have 4 4-win seasons in a row and then went undefeated for one season, that doesn’t mean that you didn’t EARN that undefeated season. It just means it was unusual for you. The 11 win seasons look to be in the normal variation of wins that Johnson had. Johnson averaged 7.5 wins per year. He had two losing seasons and two 11 win seasons. It’s the same distance from the mean as the 11-win seasons, but if I was going to throw out a season as an outlier, it’d be the 3-9 season. [B]To be clear, I wouldn’t throw it out[/B]. However, several stats gurus have said listed it as one of the strongest and unluckiest 3-9 teams ever. (They should have probably ended up closer to 5-7 or 6-6). That doesn’t even factor in the rash of injuries we had that year. The 3-9 season is the one that looks statistically weirdest, especially if you peek under the covers. [/QUOTE]
