  1. That reminds me. I forgot to mention that I watched the Raiders game last week. Carr got dinged and went into the medical tent. Broadcast team monitored situation and they showed Peterman warming up. Opponent getting ready to punt and it’s pointed out that Peterman has put his helmet on and standing near coach. Carr comes out of tent and tuns out onto the field. 😂 So, did they dodge a bullet?
  2. It was interesting that neither Frazier or Dabol were on the Jags list of interviewees but previously fired Nate “Can’t “ Hackett was.
  3. Damn, now he’s going to give away all our secrets for Sunday.
  4. I’ve been doing some research and found interesting stuff: NFL and CFL formula[edit] The NFL passer rating formula includes five variables: pass attempts, completions, passing yards, touchdown passes, and interceptions. Each of those variables is scaled to a value between 0 and 2.375, with 1.0 being statistically average (based on league data between 1960–1970). When the formula was first created, a 66.7 rating indicated an average performance, and a 100+ rating indicated an excellent performance.[3] However, passing performance has improved steadily since then and in 2017 the league average rating was 88.6,[4] and by 2020 it was 93.6.[5] The four separate calculations can be expressed in the following equations: a= ( COMP/ATT - .3). X 5 b= (YDS/ATT - 3). x 0.25 c= (TD/ATT) x 20 d=. 2.375 - (INT/ATT x 25) where ATT = Number of passing attempts COMP = Number of completions YDS = Passing yards TD = Touchdown passes INT = Interceptions If the result of any calculation is greater than 2.375, it is set to 2.375. If the result is a negative number, it is set to zero. Then, the above calculations are used to complete the passer rating: Passer Rating = ( (a + b + c + d)/6) x 100 A perfect passer rating (158.33) requires at least: 77.5% completion percentage (31 completions in 40 attempts) 12.5 yards per attempt 11.875% TD/ATT (1 TD/8.421ATT) No interceptions A minimum rating (0.0) requires at best: 30.0% completion percentage 3.0 yards per attempt No touchdowns 9.5% INT/ATT Now, I was unable to find explanations for the above formulas and why they used the numbers they did. It still doesn’t make sense that the best a QB can get is 158.3 and that you don’t have to be perfect to get that rating. To further illustrate the absurdity of this, here are the details of a Drew Brees game in December of 2019: 29 of 30 passing (96.7 completion percentage; AN NFL RECORD!) 307 passing yards 4 TD passes no INTs His calculated passer rating for that game was 148.9 so it was not perfect.
  5. I had recorded the All Madden documentary from Saturday and just watched it. Then I got online and saw he had died.
  6. At least it’s based out of 100. The other QB Rating has a max of 158.3. Where did they get that from? Does anybody have a clue how it works? I’ve seen multiple QBs score a 158.3 with different stats. To me, a max rating should be 100% completion rate, a TD for every pass, and 99 yards per pass. Then you work back from there. We learn most things based out of 100. Normal percent calculations are based out of 100. Test scores are out of 100. Our monetary system is based out of 100. How can anyone relate to 158.3?! Eventually we learned that anything over 90 is very good. If it was based out of 100, it would be easier to understand. Stepping off of soapbox now. 🙂
  7. I noticed Morse communicating more at the LOS.
  8. Exactly! I was good at memorizing things for tests. Depending on the subject, after the test most of it was gone.
  9. Yes, they were. There was a play I remember where a defender was quickly in Josh’s face. I rewound and saw it was old #75, Williams, who totally whiffed on his block attempt. I don’t get it. Even if you’re physically overmatched, you should still be able to get in the defender’s way for a couple seconds, don’t you think? The concept of pass protection doesn’t make sense to me in some ways. I get that they like to make a pocket around the QB. However, the idea of backing up and trying to hold off a defender that’s moving forward seems flawed. The pass rusher, the aggressor, seems to have an immediate advantage and once the blocker is back on his heels, it’s pretty much over.
  10. Yeah, Hughes gets pushed (or held) to the outside and the QB just moves up in the pocket.
  11. Merry Christmas from California!!! I just watched The Santa Clause 2. I still believe!! Ho ho ho!
  12. I want to see Billy B pissed off on the sidelines and throw something again.
  13. Mitch Morse?!! Are they kidding? Who the he!! voted for him?! There are always snubs but some of these selections are ridiculous. Dawkins is having a mediocre year, probably due to his COVID experience, as is the whole O-Line, and he makes it for this season?
  14. I think a fruitcake may be more appropriate.
  15. Sports journalism went way down when hot takes became popular. Did this all start with Jim Rome? It seemed he started it with fan takes. Then ESPN created all those shows with nothing but quick takes. Now that seems to be about all there is. Hard to find much good in depth analysis. I like GMF but even half of that is based on takes as they go around the table with quick answers to the same question or topic.
  16. Where did you find the alternate info? Is Poyer an alternate?
  17. IIRC after Cole limped off the field, McKenzie was in and Josh targeted him on consecutive pass attempts.
  18. A Super Bowl with replacement players?!. Have to track down Shane Falco!
  19. Using a fake vaccination is supposed to be a federal offense. Where’s the FBI?
  20. Reps are from the coach, unless the GM wants to justify his roster move. Since those guys work in tandem, I don’t think Beane would be forcing McD to play Sanders over Davis.
  21. Look at Jack Kemp’s yearly stats. They weren’t much different.
