The analysis and posts in the goat threads are always much more informative than the ones in the game ball threads. I think that's because we don't look as hard at the wins as we do at the losses.
I saw Jim Caldwell make a point about this once at a conference where he was talking about the concept of after-action reviews. (He was a surprisingly great speaker.) He talked about how sometimes you make twice as many mistakes in wins as you do in losses but it's hard to focus on them and correct them. I thought that was actually kind of Belichickian.
Anyway, that's a diversion from the point that I really appreciate the analysis that's going on here, though I much prefer the game ball threads.
