Even if they win they’re less than 50% to make the playoffs according to that chart. Seems odd to me.

Nearly no teams feel like they have great lines anymore because the nature of the game has changed. Teams don’t line up and run the ball 60% of the time and keep the clock rolling like they used to. Linemen are asked to do more things, and they’re on the field for more plays as passing rates increase. It just doesn’t make a lot of sense to spend money and draft capital on five linemen plus backups. Superstar QBs are hard to find and expensive to keep, but the teams who have them are at a huge advantage. Guys like Rodgers, Brady, Wilson, and Mahomes who have the ability to make chicken salad without great lines allow teams to spend their draft picks on more impactful positions. That’s the model in today’s game.

Dude is washed. He’s not worth the salary let alone giving up picks for the opportunity to overpay him.

WTF are they doing? Just get to the locker room.

Barkley is impossibly bad.

TD

That’s exactly what they’ve been doing, and they’ve moved up and down the field, converted 3rd downs, and put together long drives. It’s easy to do in theory. What made the Patriots so great is that they were so disciplined with it. Brady didn’t gift the other team INTs. Welker and Gronk didn’t false start on back to back plays.

Even with that last score, the Titans have an excellent defensive game plan. They’re keeping everything in front of them and making the Bills have to score via 10+ play drives. They know that the Bills are good enough to score with big plays, but they may not be able to consistently go 12, 13, 14 play drives without making the big mistake. For 3 quarters the answer was no.

The Chiefs literally lost at home yesterday.

Yeah. The NFL wants to reward teams for getting exposed to COVID. That makes perfect sense.

If all it takes is one player to postpone a game, if I have a star player who needs a couple extra days in order to play, I’d sign literally anyone with COVID to the team. Automatic 2 day reprieve.

The Chiefs Bills game is almost certainly going to get pushed back to Sunday. No way the Chiefs can play on Tuesday, Sunday, and then Thursday. 3 games in 9 days would be a disaster.

Allen over Mahomes? No way. Mahomes has 10 TDs and 0 turnovers. He’s also done it against 2 elite defenses. He, Wilson, and Rodgers are playing at a level far beyond anyone else.

This game is insane.

I’ve never understood this logic. You may be as likely to get hurt from being hit in the pocket as you are being hit scrambling. So what? This isn’t an either/or proposition. Scrambling QBs aren’t exempt from getting hit in the pocket. They still take those hits, and then they take hits outside the pocket.

You’re joking, right? The TEAM had 291 net yards. Daniel Jones had 301 net yards. It’s literally the exact same method OP used...because it’s correct. He didn’t subtract sack yardage from Josh’s yardage total but did include the negative yardage when showing the team’s yardage. Josh Allen stats: 312 yards passing, 57 yards rushing, 369 total yards Team stats: 306 yards passing, 98 yards rushing, 404 total yards 369/404 = .913 (91.3%) <— Literally the exact number the OP cited. Daniel Jones stats: 279 yards passing, 22 yards rushing, 301 total yards Team stats: 262 yards passing, 69 yards rushing, 291 total yards 301/291 = 1.034 (103.4%)

Nope https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/team/_/view/offense/stat/total/table/passing/sort/netTotalYards/dir/desc https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/player/_/view/offense/table/passing/sort/passingYards/dir/desc https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/player/_/view/offense/stat/rushing Sack yardage lost is credited to the team, not the individual player.

That’s not correct, nor is it the way OP calculated his stats. I’m using the exact same method he did.

Daniel Jones had 301 yards. The Giants had 291. He literally had 103.4% of their total offense.

So your position is that the lack of the run support is evidence that Daniel Jones had it easier? Jimmy G. must have been incredible against the Packers in the playoffs. I mean, clearly the entire defensive game plan was designed to shut down the passing game of the 49ers. Impressive mental gymnastics. Josh has no running support from his running game? He’s a one man team! Jones has no support from his running game? He’s playing on easy mode because clearly the defense is playing the run. Josh gets 100+ yards of rushing from his RBs against the Steelers and throws for 139 yards and 1 TD? Future superstar! Jones gets 7 yards from his RBs against the Steelers and throws for 279 yards and 2 TDs? No upside, not impressed. Tannehill should have been MVP last year. Clearly opponents weren’t geared up to stop the run at all. Otherwise, why was Henry so effective. CMC must suck. Otherwise teams would game plan to stop him and he’d have fewer yards.

Allen had 139 yards passing against this defense last season.

They had the 2nd pick in the draft when he was hurt and made the Super Bowl the next season.

Their RBs were out rushed 132 to 7. His team is trash, and he made a game of it.

Jones has made some dumb plays trying to do too much, but I like his guts. The team has 7 yards of offense besides him. He’s accounted for 301. Dude’s got 279 yards passing and 22 of his team’s 29 rushing yards. What is he supposed to do?

Jackson was 20/25 for 275 yards, 3 TDs and no turnovers. He’s magnificent.
