Basically, yes. For S&G, I did a deep(er) dive into these and other metrics. Re (best piece) imo: https://distinctathlete.com/2020/11/25/opinion-a-quarterback-metric-amalgamation-for-your-consideration-when-evaluating-josh-allen/ My analytic (ha ha) results: 1. The stat/metric geeks are controlling our lives, will obliterate our love of pure football, and will almost certainly destroy our American way of life. 2. That said, Tre is having an amazing year. Fewest targets (on "average") and, when targeted, gives up low completion rate. Separated only by a few percentage points from the "best". Remember kids, scale of a graph is enormously important. 3. A bit o/t, but JA is having an absolutely great year--not the best--based on the average of the average (etc) of all the genius metrics. I'm exhausted. Need a drink.

We don’t need a dome. We can play in less than perfect weather. We are better in the third quarter. We have improved running the ball and stopping the run. We can survive without John Brown (yes we are better with him). We have one of the most talented and well coached teams in the league. We don’t need anything other than to stay healthy and execute at the level we are capable of. Doesn’t mean we will win the Super Bowl but we have the team to make a run this season. It is pretty obvious that it’s just men thumbing their nose at each other, ya know, ball busting as it were, it’s a man macho thing, so we are just kinda running with it spoofing on the whole thing... get it? 😁👍, after all its a gladiator sport... Go Bills!!! 1

Throw at him all day Drew. 1

Beerball: good, straightforward question, but that's not exactly what the analytic/metric graph represents. I won't detail it here (see above), but the CPOE/Target graph is not, per se, a team defense indicator. A wee bit, but not exactly. Thus spake DSK, Newly Minted, Still Somewhat Confused, PhD (Analytics).

If your QB doesn't have confidence you don't have a QB. I don't expect Lock to target Tre but he does get beat on occasion. Hail Murray comes to mind.

Dr.Mantis_Toboggan Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 I bet Drew is scared now... he should probably spend less time talking and more time in the Quarterback room.
SirAndrew Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 Lock should be afraid to throw at anyone, the guy is another Elway trash bin find.
