TPS Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 While injuries are a part of football, I thought I'd take a quick look at Fitz's stats and see if there was any difference as some key WRs went down--Parrish and Evans. Obviously I am ignoring all other factors. Parrish went down toward the end of the Chicago game, so I inlcude him up to that point; Evans went down early in the Cleveland game, so I exclude him from that game; the results: 6 games with Parrish and Evans: total average O=348; gross pass yds=250 4 games w/out Parrish: total O=326; gross pass=221 3 games w/out Parrish and Evans: total O=325; gross pass=205 With Parrish gone, the average total offense fell 22 yards/game and Fitz's pass yards fell 29yds/game. After Evans went out, the total offense average was unchanged, but Fitz's pass yards fell another 16yds/game. If I were to draw any conclusion from these data, I would say Parrish was a key contributor to Fitz's success. My overall belief is, if you keep the same WR group (along w/ Easely), add a TE and RT, then the Bills' have a playoff caliber offense with Fitzpatrick at the helm.
DreReed83 Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 I also read somewhere that he passes for an average of 360 yds when he eats french toast and scrambled eggs in the morning of gameday.
