    I remember when Fitz had a perfect rating against the Seahawks one time, and I’m not even sure if we won….but I think so. 

    Josh Allen also had a perfect passer rating game in 2023. It was against (I'm sure you guessed it) the Dolphins.

     

    I remember way back when Geno Smith was playing for the Jets that he had a game with a perfect 158.3 rating and another game that year with a perfect 0.0 rating. Such variance is impressive, to say the least.

    Good point. It's just a metric, useful as long as clear what it's measuring. Same with QBR and EPA. (As I recall, Lamar is higher than Allen in QBR, too, but lower in EPA.)

    Now, QBR I think IS flawed. I never use it. It only works for quarterbacks who don't rush very much. And ESPN doesn't even tell us exactly how they calculate it. It apparently uses EPA, but the exact methodology it proprietary.

    Josh's QB sneaks & Cook's runs on the goal line basically vulture his QB rating.  If Bills had scored on the Hawes catch instead of it being at the 1 yard line, Josh's QBR would have been 119+, similarly if Cook had scored instead of being tackled at the 2 after his 51 yard run, passer rating would have been 126+ with 4 TD's. 

    Yes, good points. That would habe increased his TD percentage. QBR is different from passer rating, though, just FYI. QBR is on a 100 point scale while passer rating goes up to 158.3.

    Keon Coleman separation metrics in Week 1, per

    @FantasyPtsData

    (min 10 routes): Separation Score: -0.049 (88th of 105 WRs) Route Win Rate: 0.0% (tied for last)

    Pretty impressive that he didn't win a single route but was still open on a number of plays and had over 100 yards and a score. How do they even determine this? Just insane.

    Jackson had a really high yards per attempt at 11.0. Josh Allen's was 8.6. Jackson also had a higher completion percentage. That is why his score is a lot higher. Also, he scored as many passing TDs as Allen, but with far fewer attempts.

     

    Passer rating isn't a measure of the quality or production of passing. It is a measure of the efficiency of the passing. It measures completion percentage, yards per attempt, touchdown percentage, and interception percentage.

     

    It's a perfectly good measure of a QB. It isn't flawed or antiquated. It means what it means and it doesn't mean anything else. It should be taken into consideration with other stats to understand the performance of the QB. Lamar Jackson was indeed a much more efficient passer than Josh Allen in week 1. He produced what he did with far fewer passes than Allen, so his efficiency score is higher even if his production wasn't.

    Two of our D-Line free agent upgrades (Larry Ogunjobi and Michael Hoecht) were suspended, and couldn't help.

    One of our D-Line free agent upgrades (Joey Bosa) lost contain on Jackson a few times, but settled in later.

    Two of our D-Line draft picks (TJ Sanders, Deone Walker) were playing in their very first game.  The third (Landon Jackson) was inactive.

     

    Our middle linebacker (Terrell Bernard), top cornerback (Christian Benford) and two safeties (Taylor Rapp, Cole Bishop) were injured a good chunk of training camp/preseason, and haven't gotten a chance to play together at all.  Which leads to a lack of communication and knowing where each other will be on plays.

     

    Plus we had to throw a 6th Round rookie into one of the starting slots at cornerback, so I'm sure the coaching staff was focused on protecting him and making sure he wasn't put into really bad positions.

     

    Anyone who was expecting a huge improvement from the Defense in Week 1 probably hasn't been paying attention.  This unit looks like one that will gradually improve as the season goes along, and hopefully peaks closer to playoff time.

     

    And we were facing one of the best and most unique offenses in the NFL.

    This is why coaching is so important. Coaches set the tone for the entire organization. Having the patience to develop a QB comes directly from the head coach. McDermott had already bought himself job security by breaking the playoff drought, so he had the patience to let Josh Allen develop, and built a strong defense with good leaders to keep them in games.

     

    But Josh was pretty good out of the gate, in the grand scheme of things. He had lows in his rookie season, but he also had highs. And then he took the Bills to the playoffs in his second year. He was a functional QB. There was never really a time where it seemed like he was a bust or should be benched.

    Eligible Receivers - 2pt Coleman Non-Catch

    what I gather from the rule below is that once you’re out, no matter how you got there, you can’t catch it… no matter if you’ve re-established.
     

    I don’t understand how it’s not an illegal contact penalty on the DB for shoving the WR out of bounds. Shouldn’t every DB do that in short fields?

     

     

    ARTICLE 6. INELIGIBLE RECEIVERS.

    All offensive players other than those identified in Article 5 above are ineligible to catch a legal or illegal forward pass thrown from behind the line of scrimmage, including:

    (a) Players who are not on either end of their line or at least one yard behind it when the ball is snapped;

    (b) Players who fail to notify the Referee of being eligible as required by Article 5;

    (c) An eligible receiver who has been out of bounds prior to or during a pass, either by his own volition or by being legally forced out, even if he has reestablished himself inbounds with both feet or with any part of his body other than his hands;

    Yes, it should have been a penalty for illegal contact. But they didn't call it.

    Will Prater Be Signed to the 53?

    There's no reason to. Keep calling him up until you need to add him. It's like a free roster spot for a couple more weeks. There could be injuries between now and then that affect the roster. And if someone tries to claim him, you can just add him to the 53 at that time. There's no down side to keeping him on the practice squad.

    Exactly. They were provoking the fans purposely. That still doesn't give any fan the right to put hands on the players, but the Ravens players created this situation intentionally.

    I think so. And for that reason, I would not be opposed to Jackson receiving a fine. Yes, the fan was way out of line and he is being punished for it. But Jackson retaliated physically and their players created the possibility for it to happen.

    My guess is this is to cover a 'fake slide' but I don't know that I like that .... it inputs (more) subjectivity, as a ref could at any time can say someone is simulating a slide. If you want to delay a slide or fake slide, you can get popped. So I like that the rule gives you the progress where a non-foot falls, and not when you "start" your slide. It helps remove the benefit of doing a fake slide but continuing on, as it's not something that refs are (currently) trying to police for.

    I just swear that I have heard on broadcasts many times that the rule is that you are down where you start the slide. So, maybe they weren't expressing the rule correctly, or maybe it changed, but I have heard that many times watching football games.
