Quote HistoryQuoted: I am normally pessimistic, but dammit the first two weeks had me. I was thinking, yeah, this is the formula. An efficient, ball control offense, which Dak could run that in his sleep, and make the occasional play. And a shut down defense. Meh. I am retarded. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Thanks, but I think a even more important aspect of it is being able to judge your team objectively. It seems most fans are either delusionally optimistic ("we look good in September, Super Bowl, here we come") or delusionally pessimistic ("our statistically top 10 QB hasn't gotten us to the Super Bowl therefore he sucks and we need to cut him"). Here is my advice: go into every game assuming they will lose. If they lose: you were expecting it. If they win: it's a pleasant surprise.  Another piece of advice: Always bet against the Cowboys in the Divisional. I seriously didn't spend so much as a minute researching last season's game and just blindly bet on the 49ers.

Putting some more blame on Zach Wilson.
The Patriots generated pressure on 61.5% of the Jets dropbacks. Their highest rate in the last 5 years. Zach Wilson had the 3rd highest average time to throw in the entire NFL last week. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I imagine so. 1st and goal, down 4 points, game on the line, and you choke it away... Of course, this will be another notch in Cousins' hat for the crumble under pressure/never wins the big game crowd. But he still threw for 350 and 3 TDs BEFORE he choked the game away. It should have been enough to win. Also... Even though they won the game, can we add this game to the growing list of reasons why Staley should be fired? You are winning by 4, less than 2 minutes left in the game, and you go for it on 4th and 1 from your OWN 24 yard line? Fuck that dude. Chargers should have lost another close game due to their coach. Kick the 3, be down by 2, kick it off, play D, burn your TO's if necessary and try to get in position to kick a GW FG. Nope, we go for it on the GL and get stuffed. Then the Chargers do the dumbest thing ever and go for it deep inside their own territory on 4th down. When we were close to scoring again, I said "it would be nice to kick a FG now wouldn't it?". Stupid, stupid, stupid coaching on both sides of the ball in that game. |

Teams are rarely so universally bad on both sides of the ball. Looking back, no team finished bottom 3 in both in the last 3 seasons.

Desmond Ridder leads the league in turnover worthy plays through 3 games (7).
He does so while 23 other quarterbacks have more pass attempts. The Lions defense straight dropped multiple interceptions last week. The fact that he only has 1 INT so far is a blessing/lucky and not sustainable with his current play. Falcons used the last three drafts to take a TE, WR and RB in the 1st round. Using a 3rd round draft pick for a QB, in the worst QB draft class in YEARS, isn't going to cut it. They need to find themselves a QB before they completely waste their offense's rookie contract years. Edit: His PFF grade is 40.2, ranked 34/34. |

Found it. The Erik Kramer led Detroit Lions were favored by 3 points over the Mike Tomczak Packers in Green Bay on December 15th 1991. It was 10 degrees at kick off. The Packers outgained the Lions 367 to 207. The Packers had 160 yards rushing. Both teams had 2 turnovers. But the Lions won 21-17. Covered the spread by 1.
The Lions managed to win on Special Teams. A story as old as the Packers themselves. Mel Gray returned a 78 yard punt for a Lions TD in the 4th quarter to put the game out of reach for the Packers. Edit: The Lions had 143 yards on 6 returns (23.8 avg), the Packers had 33 on 7 (4.7 avg). |

You are winning by 4, less than 2 minutes left in the game, and you go for it on 4th and 1 from your OWN 24 yard line? Fuck that dude. Chargers should have lost another close game due to their coach. Staley chose correctly.   Most punt/go decisions have a win probability difference of less than 5%. These two models showing that much of a spread is a VERY strong GO. The plot twist is, I'm not sure if these account for the fact that LAC was in that game with a top 5 offense and a bottom 5 defense. That could make the math favoring a go decision even stronger. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Staley chose correctly. In no world, will I ever agree, that when you are leading by 4, on your own ~25 yard line, with LESS than 2 minutes left in the game, with your opponent having no timeouts, that anything other than a punt is the correct decision. Even in his own post, with numbers that I don't believe based on historical results on stathead, he says that a conversion attempt would increase their Win Probability by LESS than 10%. A failure to convert results in a decline down to 59% (his numbers, I don't believe it). That's a loss of more than 20% WP vs punting, in his algorithm. Meanwhile, stathead says that in the last 10 years, on 4th and 1, in the 4th quarter of all games, not goal to go, teams have converted 511 of 1,384 attempts. That's a 36.9% conversion rate... That's not predictions. That's actual numbers of how many 4th and 1's resulted in a 1st down (run, pass or penalty). That's less than a coin flip man. LESS than a coin flip to increase your WP by less than 10% vs dropping to a 50/50 game on failure? Kick the ball. The numbers are BS. He was bailed out on a stupid decision. |

You can deliberately give possession to the other team (relying on a sketchy ST unit to not screw it up) and then ask your defense which has been quite bad this season to survive 60-70 yards and ~1:45 against an offense featuring *checks notes* JUSTIN F'ING JEFFERSON (the best WR in the entire NFL and 2022 OPOY for a reason), a very good TE, and one of the most underrated QBs in the league. If you want to throw shade and ask questions, we should be asking why Kellen Moore took the ball away from a top 5 QB and gave it to a backup RB in that situation. |

Calling for McDaniels to be fired. Saying Aaron Hernandez's death wasn't a suicide. Breaking down into tears out of nowhere. Confronting his neighbor. Called McDaniels and Davis "slave masters". He's going to go back on a hold in another facility at this rate. Edit: Here's the link to his 25 minute live session on Twitter, before he deletes it. https://twitter.com/chanjones55/status/1707377553361772585 "Oh, y'all didn't know what Josh McDaniels really did to Aaron Hernandez? If y'all don't know what really happened with Aaron Hernandez ... y'all thought Aaron Hernandez killed himself in jail? Y'all thought my n***a chico killed himself in jail?" He mentioned knowing government secrets, stuff about the Illuminati and ISIS. There's also dozens of Twitter posts to go with it. Double Edit: Some of the Tweets in text in case they all get deleted again. There's around 50 of them since late yesterday. So not posting them all. Click To View Spoiler |

Comp % is basically the same (within 2.5%) On Target % is basicallythe same (within 2.5%) Bad Throw % is basically the same (within 2%) Success % is basically the same (within 2.5%) Pocket Time is basically the same (within 0.2 seconds) Pressure % is basically the same (within 2%) Sack % is actually down somehow Trying to figure out what is different... Oh... I found it! Their play action play percentage is half... HALF... what it was last season. Down from 26% to 13%. Combined with that, their rushing attempts have dropped from 56% to 41%. Intended air yards per attempt are down 25-30% versus his previous two seasons. "I'm not saying Fields is playing phenomenal and is blameless but..." It seems there's definitely room to put that "but" in there. Statistically, Fields throwing ability doesn't seem to have declined/regressed. We have seen some hesitation/bad looks on Fields part, but the play calling definitely has also changed, and so far, not for the better. So it's "the Bears still suck" vs "Fields still sucks"?

This is where I'm at. I don't mind giving your guys the opportunity to go win it, but give it to your playmaker. The play design wasn't very good, either. The RB is 5 yards back, and the process of snapping the ball to Herbert, handing off to the RB, and the RB getting up to the line seems to take a pretty long time. It's probably only 2-2.5s, but it just feels slow watching it, and by the time the RB gets up there, there's Vikings behind the OL. |

Edit: Last 10 years, 4th and 1, 4th quarter, run vs pass conversion, any game score, any field position. Runs off center/off guard (inside): 67.8% Runs off tackle/end (outside): 71.4% Short pass (left, right and middle): 59.4% I am honestly surprised at how high the center/off guard conversion is. I feel like it fails almost every time I see someone do it. I wish I could pull out and see how many of those are RB vs QB sneak, but it doesn't let me filter that far unfortunately. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I still don't understand why the RB going off center is the most called play on 4th and 1 when defenses are basically in stacked goal line. If you need one yard, and everyone knows you need one yard, then you need movement away from the LOS. Either run it outside or use play action to set up a quick pass. I'm going to go pull the stats on 4th and 1 run vs pass. BRB. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: The play design wasn't very good, either. I'm going to go pull the stats on 4th and 1 run vs pass. BRB. Even if you want to keep it vanilla and keep it on the ground, using your 6'6" QB to run a QB sneak seems like a pretty good idea. The Vikings had 7 guys on the line for that play, but the guys on the second level were 2-3 yards back. Getting enough push to get Herbert over the line after a quick snap seems way more likely in that scenario than the slow handoff they did instead. Anecdotally, it feels like the Chiefs have had bad luck trying to run to the outside on 3rd & 1 or 4th & 1, but I'm not sure how much of that is slow RBs like CEH, weak blocks, or gimmicky plays that get too complicated. |

This guy is an idiot
 Well, NBC Sports' Chris Simms, no stranger to controversy, chimed in from the side of the aisle who do not feel that the unique quarterback sneak should be legal because of the alleged advantage that the runner gets with a favorable block in the back. Simms went as far on-air to suggest that opposing teams should try to, metaphorically speaking, "kill the quarterback" to stop the "tush push." "If I was a defensive coach, I'd be going, 'Go headhunting on the quarterback here. Go ahead. Let 'em have it. Dive over. Go crazy. Try to kill the quarterback.' That's what I would do," Simms said. He quickly pulled back on his rhetoric (amid backtracking from co-host Mike Florio) by saying he didn't actually mean they should literally kill the quarterback on a "tush push," as opposed to "[making] him pay" and "think twice about doing it." |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Desmond Ridder leads the league in turnover worthy plays through 3 games (7). He does so while 23 other quarterbacks have more pass attempts. The Lions defense straight dropped multiple interceptions last week. The fact that he only has 1 INT so far is a blessing/lucky and not sustainable with his current play. Falcons used the last three drafts to take a TE, WR and RB in the 1st round. Using a 3rd round draft pick for a QB, in the worst QB draft class in YEARS, isn't going to cut it. They need to find themselves a QB before they completely waste their offense's rookie contract years. Edit: His PFF grade is 40.2, ranked 34/34. Already a lot of calls for Heinicke to step in, I bet he gets more play time than he expected if Ridder doesn't improve quickly. The whole team looked terrible against Detroit though. |

JC Jackson's response when asked about his healthy benching last weekend:
"I don't know, what else do they expect me to do? I told coach (Brandon Staley) what else do you expect me to do? I've been doing everything. I came back from my injury pretty fast. I've been putting in extra work after practice, even in meeting rooms. The DBs every Friday we all meet to do extra film and being a good teammate, so I don't know what it is. I'm still kind of confused and still don't have answers to why I'm getting treated like this." Maybe, and I'm just spit balling here, don't skip out on your scheduled court appearance for probation violation directly resulting in having a warrant issued for your arrest just before the weekend? Huh? Try that. |

I'm off to NFL Penalties to analyze! BRB. Week 1: Cardinals vs Washington, Alan Eck, 9 against for 122 yards Week 2: Cardinals vs Giants, Land Clark, 8 against for 57 yards Week 3: Cardinals vs Dallas, Alex Kemp, 8 against for 69 yards Alan Eck: #7 in called penalties, #8 in confirmed penalties, #8 in dismissed penalties, #8 in penalty yards Land Clark: #10 in called penalties, #7 in confirmed penalties, #14 in dismissed penalties, #7 in penalty yards Alex Kemp: #1 in called penalties, #1 in confirmed penalties, #1 in dismissed penalties, #3 in penalty yards So, they had one game under the most flag happy crew in the NFL (thru 3 weeks), but that crew did not flag the Cardinals more than the other two crews. The other two crews are right in the middle of all officials for penalty calls. This leads me to believe that the Cardinals deserved their penalties and their games are not being over officiated. Reviewing their opponents to keep things even. Week 1: Washington, 8 against for 69 yards Week 2: Giants, 9 against for 75 yards Week 3: Dallas, 13 against for 107 yards Now... This is getting more interesting. For all 3 of these teams, their games vs the Cardinals resulted in their highest penalty count totals of the season. It was also the highest penalty count game of the season for all three of the individual crews: Alan Eck: 17 penalties in Cardinals Washington game. 11 in his next, 9 in his 3rd. Land Clark: 17 penalties in Cardinals Giants game. 14 in his next, 8th in his 3rd. Alex Kemp: 21 penalties in Cardinals Dallas game. 17 in his next, 13 in his 3rd. So... The Cardinals appear to have been consistently enforced as a bad penalty team, but for some reason their opponents have ALL had their worst penalty game against the Cardinals, with three different crews... That is very interesting. Edit: @Hunter-Killer I know you'll be interested in this as well. Another Edit: These 3 games ranked 1st (Dallas), 8th (Washington) and 13th (Giants) for the most flags thrown in a single game so far this season (out of 48 total games). |
