I really haven't been watching a ton of football beyond the RZ channel and you don't get a full picture. Without a running game Dallas cant win on the back of his arm. Theres not a lot of QBs that can win without a running game. Sometimes yall expect too much from the amount of talent we have on the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really haven't been watching a ton of football beyond the RZ channel and you don't get a full picture. Cincy's run game is awful. 30th in yards, T-27th in attempts, 30th in YPC. Tennessee is 7th in yards (exactly 1 yard more than the Bills), 13th in attempts, and 7th in YPC Dallas is 4th in yards, 5th in attempts, and 3rd in YPC Chicago is T-12 in yards, T-15th in attempts, and 10th in YPC Buffalo is 8th in yards, 6th in attempts, and 13th in YPC But again, they aren't throwing. It isn't just a Buffalo thing. And when we had the #1 rushing offense in the league we "ran that much because our QB couldn't throw". In case you forgot.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Great segue. Now we've gotten to the O Line that literally let Bosa run FREE and harass a rookie on their home turf in LA. Does the O Line improve and digress weekly? (the answer is probably yes, but based on the numerous discussions on Vladimir Ducasse, Ryan Groy, John Miller, Jordan Mills, Cordy Glenn).

Those 4 have less called pass plays per game than the Bills. Are you talking about attempts? Because I think only the Bears and Bengals have less attempts.

Still flawed in that it doesn't account for scrambles or RPOs where run is the correct call, but it'll do. And that's a per game basis based on team, not broken down by QB.

sleeby Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 WR is a team in need of upgrades. Tyrod and OC aside, Nathan p threw several fine passes (not all to WRs though) that were not caught. I say draft one and FA another if able. Assuming a rookie qb next season pairing him with one rookie wr would be fine. The best EJ ever looked was his first games when he and woods were having a rookie bond connection going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prescott has a game with a rating of 30.4 (worse than any of TT's games) 3 INTs, no TDs Dalton has a game with a rating of 28.4. 4 INTs, no TDs Mariota hasn't been quite that bad in a single game, but just bad every game. He has the same number of TDs as Tyrod and double the turnovers. His rating on the year is 80.4, compared to TT's 88.6 7 minutes ago, GoBills808 said: Why do you include sacks?

They all play with the same QBs. I got this one. He usally throw the ball less than 5 times a game so that one 40 yarder he hits dramatically inflates his yards per target and he normally doesnt throw it unless his receiver has at least 20 yards of separation making it much more likely that the catch will be made.

I assume you're actually interested in sack % vs sacks with this question though. Because Stafford has been sacked a lot, because he's being asked to pass. Regardless, Tyrod also isn't alone in sack % in the league so his point is still invalid. Tyrod's 8th. Brissett, Hundley, Cassel, Trubisky, and Bradford all worse. Surprised by Bradford, as Keenum behind the same line has the lowest sack % of starters at 2.44%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised by Bradford, as Keenum behind the same line has the lowest sack % of starters at 2.44%. Correct. I guess I jumped in the conversation, but if the overall point is to try and deduce whether the low amount of attempts is related more to WR or QB quality (or lack thereof), adding sacks into attempts to get a higher number of pass plays doesn't account for whether or not that sack could have been avoided, and isn't an indicator of anything other than the result of the called pass play was a sack. I'm not sure I would credit a QB (or an offense) an attempt on a play that resulted in a sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
