4 years ago, I started doing some very simple charting for each Georgia Tech football game. According to the commonly accepted definition of a successful play (50% of needed yards on 1st down, 70% on 2nd, 100% on 3rd or 4th), was each play for and against GT successful or not? This simple exercise helped me to see when the score in the middle of a game was out of line with this underlying efficiency measurement and usually helped shape my expectations for the rest of the game. It helped me have more perspective in evaluating game by game performance.
