Also had some very close games where they could easily have 3 losses right now. Good for them they are 5-1, but until Jackson can show he can overcome a McDermott D I am not overly concerned. Jackson is exceptional at what he does...but when teams force him to do what he isn't comfortable with he struggles. I still view him as limited in the passing game. He is still limited in the passing game (although not as limited as I think some of the perception is) and I also don't think they would beat the Bills. It is matchup league and I think that matchup favours the Bills (I also think the Bills have a Quarterback advantage and a - smaller - overall roster advantage). But the Ravens are a brilliantly run organisation from the top down. They are the only AFC team I'd out on a par with the Bills in that regard. That was my point.

I have also been on Rodgers case for being a drama queen, but in this he is correct and there was nothing wrong with his celebrations after the game sealing run for TD Quote

HappyDays Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 The "go for it on 4th down" analytics has gone way too far. Coaches are gifting great field position for no reason. 2 Quote
Bermuda Triangle Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 Thats a few really bad throws for Murray already Quote

Same with Lamar. Every time they run for a 3 yard gain the announcers tell us what a miracle it was. Maybe other fans feel that way when Josh is playing, you don't notice it as much when it's your own guy 1 Quote

I don't think it accounts for momentum, which is huge in a football game. My biggest problem with the analytics is good offenses go for more 4th downs than bad offenses, right? Because they believe in their ability to convert. So the 4th down conversion rates that then get baked into the modelling are based generally on what decent offenses do. I know there are models that then try and adjust for equitable 3rd down conversions to allow for that but that is only a proxy. 1 Quote
Success Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 I mean, I know from watching BB that he's going to stack the line against the run every time on 3rd & 4th and short. McCarthy didn't know that? Quote
Logic Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 I'm struggling to understand the Browns' line of thinking with this gameplan. They are 1st in the league in every rushing category, and the Cardinals are very bad at stopping the run. So the Browns decide to.....come out in empty sets and call a pass-heavy offensive gameplan? Doesn't make any sense to me. Yes, I know that Chubb is out with an injury. I don't care. Kareem Hunt is more than capable. Dance with what brung ya. 1 Quote

There's a fine line between being aggressive and being stupid. Most games are decided by less than 7 points and some of these coaches are trying to win the game in the 1st half 3 Quote
