Behind Enemy Lines: Regression Testing

Regression Testing is defined in Wikipedia as any type of software testing that seeks to uncover new errors, or regressions, in existing...

Still in Beta, then, eh?

Not sure I would call what I am seeing even Beta, serv. Beta implies that we are just a step away from a Release Candidate, to stick with the software development metaphor. I'm just not seeing it.

Although, I am seeing year on year improvement, it is the pattern of game on game regression through the season that disturbs me. I am really hoping that most of what I have seen as been due to the very mobile QBs we have played the last weeks and we will get back to something positive this week against Fitzpatrick.

I have perceived the same pattern myself, Neo. Buffalo will be an interesting test because although Fitzpatrick is not what one would call a "mobile" QB like Romo, Vick, or Newton, they do an excellent job of protecting him-he's been sacked only 7 times, fewest in the league. The Giants accounted for 3 of those sacks-Osi, Pierre-Paul, and Kiwanuka each had one sack. We are tied with the Giants for the league lead with a 3.5 sack per game average, although ours are distributed across a greater number of players.

Yeah - nicely done Neo. I've been unable to come up with a witty tech analogy - other than that perhaps we hoped this season's team was Windows 7, turns out we're still Vista.

Anyway, enjoyed that. Don't take any more time off. We need ya!
