LOL, yeah, it does. Anyway, this isn't the link that I orginally found, but another. Carr was 76. Surprisingly Cunningham was second with 72, and again 9th with 60 and twice more in that table of the "top" 27. Bledsoe in there twice isn't surprising. LOL The rest of the top-10 stands to reason. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/most-sacked-quarterback-in-an-nfl-season

Yeah, I looked it up, I think it was Carr, but without checking I forgot. Great point on the extra game. Add another 4-1/2, say 5, puts it at 77. Still a somewhat "shattering" sized leap. It'll be interesting to watch unfold. LOL

Yeah, not sure that Garbage Plates and the words culinary, cuisine, or gourmet should ever be in the same sentence. Garbage Plates are the British "cuisine" of the world. They were great at 2 a.m. replete with the entertainment and amusement that was provided at Tahoe's, but there should be a warning associated with Garbage Plates; Make sure that your BAC is (this high) before you consume one. I say that as someone that has consumed more than his share of GPs in the distant past. 😁 NoDoz will be in everyone's menu when we're up 27-3 early in the 3rd.

Yeah, conceivable that Daniel Jones takes 90, but still, records don't fall that easily. In this case it would shatter it at 72.

It's definitely a head scratcher.

Which raises a great point, between them they have only 9 1st-Downs on the season, not even 2/game. Harty & Murray have 9 in contrast. Here's another thing, in Beasley's two best seasons her he averaged nearly 12 YPR. Kincaid/Davis aren't even averaging 7 YPR.

I wouldn't pin it all Dorsey. Having a great coach with his hands, apparently, tied in the matter, is problematic. I have no idea why McD perpetually gets a pass at the mismanagement of the most relevant piece of the team. Apparently the whole "culture" thing outweighs the performance aspect.

Kincaid may not even be here when Diggs & Davis are gone. He's not going to be happy long term if this continues. Unless we win a Lombardi. Them everyone will be happy. LOL

Great post. I would however argue that it starts with McD. He's the one that selected Dorsey, and he apparently has nothing to assist and guide Dorsey with, ... add a head coach. If the offense is under achieving as it is, then it's up to the head coach to make the appropriate corrective action, regardless of what it is. IMO McD's simply all but incapable of doing that. Considering that our playoff hopes and hopes for a Championship revolver around Allen & the O, that's a terminal disconnect. All those thinking that Daboll was anything special are wrong.

I'm sure everyone did. Which begs questions. There's an ongoing disconnect between Beane & McD.

Right now or TEs (Kinaid/Knox) are placing for about 650 yards and 3 TDs between 'em. Davis should have 800/7 by the bye week, all he's gotta do is average 54 YPG and a TD every other game. Points wise or offense is performing better than it ever has. But it's the games against the playoff tells that matter most. That's not to say it cannot be better, and it can be.

Add to that, why did we expend a 1st-round pick on a player that isn't even being put in a role in which he can put up performance commensurate with that pick. It's disappointing to be sure. There seems to be a huge ongoing disconnect between Beane & McD in the utilization of our drafted players.

He's only been sacked 9 times though, Zappe once more for 10 total. They tank 7th in Sack%, 2 behind us at 5th, and they tank 8th in attempts. Nothing's impossible, but incredibly unlikely, no? The worst Sack% teams on our schedule are the Raiders (22nd), Jets (23rd), the Broncos (26th), the Skins (31st), and the Giants (32nd).

Of course, but here's the point, say we got 51, and I suspect we'll do a little better, but say it's 51, that's 30 for the remaining dozen games, or an average of 2.5 here on out. ... and if half or so of those are against Zach Wilson, Russell Wilson, and Jones for example ... Or five sacks against Jax, they still put up 500 yards and 25 points. The point is, don't extrapolate season, AKA playoff success, by limited superficial stats. Some stats depicting trends and patterns without requiring the shattering of records are more relevant at the moment. Exactly!! Injuries are quite often a reason as too why records are not shattered. From where I sit, it injuries are not isolated from our style of play on D, namely fast and furious.

BTW, a great example of law-of-averages stuff is the sacks we've been discussing. Presently, Howell's been sacked 29 times and Jones 28. That could lead someone to conclude that played out all season at that rate, they'd finish with 98 and 95 sacks respectively. That's incredibly unlikley to occur however. The QB with the most ever sacks in a season had 76. Only one other had in the 70s, 72. The next 7 QBs in the 60s. After that, in the 50s on downward. But think about it, let's suppose one of the two sets a new record, it likely wouldn't be by much. Say 75. That'd be just under 4 sacks/game sustained on average from here on out, about 2 fewer per game than they've allowed to date now.

Both have 19 targets. Package deal then. Curious how many think I'm serious. LOL

We can trade him for Kincaid. We don't use him.

LOL, you're not supposed to leave it hanging out of your pocket. I have tac fatigues that I wear and there's no way I can get pickpocketed in those. Also, a waist belt for under one's shirt, or a lanyard for under one's shirt. There are a bunch of safeguards. We've always kept ours with us except with friends or relatives. To each his own I suppose. If you leave it with the front desk hotel safe, then be sure to get a receipt for exactly what you left with them and when.

All valid points. I just threw the sack metric in as a comp. Looking at all the games, 9 of our 21 sacks were against Howell and the Skins. 12 otherwise in the other four games. 3 per. FWIW We'll see how they do going forward. I expect a blowout on Sunday. The two most sacked QBs in the game today are Jones and Howell, 28 and 29 respectively. 3rd is Fields with 20. LOL It's looking like Taylor will get the start, but he has a 9.3 career Sack%, so with the Giants OL it doesn't appear as if he'll be much better than Jones, who's also mobile. We'll see. We need a couple of games to retrack, let injuries heal, and let the next-men-up acquaint themselves with starting. The Giants and @ NE should be just what the doctor ordered. I suspect that Kyle Allen will get some 4th Q mop-up action in both.

And while traveling abroad, one's passport should always be on their person as well. Is it the team's choice? Why would any team volunteer one of their home games to play anywhere but ... well, home? Even a road game should be refused.

This week will be a good game to pull ourselves together and retrack. Along with Howell, Jones was the most sacked QB in the league. It's my understanding that he's not playing, but there's a reason for the sacks besides simply Jones, so even with Taylor, or whomever they're starting if not him, and given our offense against their low-end passing defense we should be fine.

Agree with your entire post for the most part. Particularly that we've covered just about everything. LOL On this point however, also keep in mind, and you know this so simply preaching to the choir presumably, but it typically takes 5 or 6 games, and often until a capable opposing coordinator faces a team with a new HC or coordinator, to figure out and possible "solve" their offensive or defensive schemes. It's happened time and time again over the years. I pointed out in another thread just now how that's likely why Daboll's Giants started 6-1 and 7-2 last season but have gone 4-10 since. IMO that's what happened on Sunday. Press Taylor (and Pederson) figured out our D and as you say, took advantage of its weaknesses. The problem is that the teams that generally will do that, are the ones that we need to be able to beat to win a championship. Teams with good offenses and competent OCs will now use Sunday's video and info to gameplan against us. We'll see how it shakes out. Speaking of Daboll's Giants, LOL, the nice thing for us is that we should be able to beat them even if Josh didn't suit up an Kyle took his place. Home game for us, hopefully Kyle ends up playing the second half, or most of it.

Scent of a Woman Either that or you're thinking of Elaine Benes.

Well, there are other commonalities in our 3 wins. The one that sticks out most to me is that we've had TO margins of +2, +3, and +4 in our three wins. I forget which season it was, maybe 2004, where everyone thought that we were better than we were, but where the reality was that we won most of our games due to significant TO margin advantages. TOs are great obviously, but they cannot be relied upon as a construct or strategy for winning. Just sayin'.
