Patler had the first numbers itch? What is this number? 67.9

[SnakeLH2006]

Fun topic only cuz the Patler had a great topic a month ago with a mysterious number. This one will shock and awe all Packer fans once they know what it means.

One clue. This is after the full 10 games. And will amaze you when you find out the significance. NFL stats only of a current NFL player=2nd hint.

67.9

Go forth.....The winner gets cookies that CPK's mom and I baked (we are really close )

[SnakeLH2006]

Patler where are you? I'd think you'd have this one nailed. I gave some very easy clues....Stats...love 'em. and this is good one.

It's abhorrent to say, but I guess Justin Harrell gets this one first.

[Patler]

Too late at night!

Too late at night!

Awwww. man...THis one is easy. and you started this... 1 player....1 stat.NFL....now that is the 3rd cheat. You got this one and it's gonna be a doozy.

Is it something like the amount of INT return yards per game by the defense?

EDIT: I just decided to read the posts and now I see only 1 player. I have no clue now.

EDIT: With some free time on my hands I just noticed something that scared the piss out of me.

If you take Jennings receiving yards 865 minus Grant's rushing yards 770 you get 95. Now add Rodgers passing yards 2351, and then subtract Favre's passing yards 2237. 209. Take Rodgers passing TD's 15 and square it. 225. Add that to 209. 434. Subtract Favre's passing TD's 18. 416. Add the number of INT's by Woodson, Collins, and Williams and square it. 196. Add it to 416. 612. 612 minus 10 games played equals 602. Add Grant's rushing average 77 to 602. 679 divided by 10 games played equals 67.9

Seriously, I have goosebumps right now.

That post is a thing of beauty. I can sleep well knowing that genius is alive and well at PackerRats.

[Tarlam!]

Seriously, I have goosebumps right now.

I don't know if you made that shit up, but, this is one of the best posts I have ever read on any forum I ever was on.

Absolutely brilliant and, I take my hat off to you. Great, Great post. This one is going into the "save" box. I want to enjoy it over and over.

Youzaaa

[KYPack]

OK, OK.

I'm impressed, sorta.

For instance, why would you go thru all these mental gyrations?

Let's take it easy.

"If you take Jennings receiving yards 865 minus Grant's rushing yards 770 you get 95."

Why would you do that first?

Cause it makes a neat number?

Jennings is a good guy?

Favre makes an appearance because he's our ex-QB?

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi. I've never got one of these numbers trail exercises, and I want to understand what goes thru the minds of those that devise such puzzles.

Seriously.

Respond anybody.

My mind needs to know.

.

That's what I was going to say.

Just curious, how long did it take you to put that together?

[Patler]

Patler where are you? I'd think you'd have this one nailed. I gave some very easy clues....Stats...love 'em. and this is good one.

Sorry, I got nothin'!
I came up with a couple 68.9s and 67.8 but nothing for 67.9.

[hoosier]

67.9 = ARod's third-down completion percentage, tops in NFL.

EDIT: took me ten seconds to track it down.

[sharpe1027]

OK, OK.

To save the economy.

Let's take it easy.

"If you take Jennings receiving yards 865 minus Grant's rushing yards 770 you get 95."

Why would you do that first?

Because doing it second would just be silly.

Cause it makes a neat number?

Pure coincidence.

Jennings is a good guy?

Yes.

Favre makes an appearance because he's our ex-QB?

Nah, he makes an appearance because he's a good guy too.

My guess is that that was done last, and that he started with 67.9 and worked backwards with available numbers.

So, to put this in descriptive terms so that similar calculations can be made when different players are involved, 67.9 is the per game average of the sum of the leading rusher's per game rushing average plus the net of: the difference between the leading receiver's receiving yards and the leading rusher's rushing yards, plus the starting quarterback's passing yards minus the immediately preceding starting quarterback's passing yards, plus the square of the leading passer's passing touchdowns minus the immediately preceding starting quarterback's passing touchdowns, plus the square of the three leading interceptors total interceptions, minus the total number of games played.

We should probably come up with an abbreviated term for this very informative calculation!
