Aho hit his level as a player 3 years ago and has regressed. He isn’t going to take this team to the next level. It’s time to find a 1c

Yeah. For sure we are no longer bottom tier, on the whole. We still have some days like that but overall the floor is higher to the point we are off the bottom. The rating in that graphic is really overrating us.

Reid going for it on that 4th down was a terrible idea at the time and even worse in retrospect.

Finally in a convo where we arent in the bottom tier

OMG, this chocolate cake is so moist and delicious

Stroud with an incredible play to avoid a sack and deliver the ball down field

It’s that week off that concerns me. Bryce and this team need to keep it going. It’s also why if best case scenario happens, and Tampa falters with us clenching early, I’m not giving any breaks/rest. Bryce will keep playing. The offense will keep playing. I might would give the defense some rest, but the offense is way too inconsistent for that

Sniffing Glue

Haha it's easier than just listing stats across years. I also just realized that ESPN article is off by a year. See https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2022/index.htm, 2022 average yards 218 (well 218.5), https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2021/index.htm 2021 average yards 228

I am not on his jock but not sure why wanting to avoid being behind Lamar Jackson is worthy of scorn. That could be a 4 year sentence to having pine splinters in his butt. Which might be good for him for a couple of years… not 4 though.

Oregon -20.5 opening line. Hahaha. Easy money. Oregon's 4th string would beat JMU by 21.

I get that Stroud is being destroyed every drop back, but the rushing game is doing absolutely nothing, yet they keep trying it.

y'all made this guy break out Excel

Whatever you say, Nicole...

I agree here. Falcons won't lay down. Tampa SHOULD win. However, it is a short week and both teams need this game to be played different ways. Tampa needs to have time to scheme and keep this game fast paced, Atlanta needs this to be a physical heavy run slobberknocker which is more likely to happen with just 3 days. Keep in mind, Raheem should probably be fired tomorrow but won't be because it's a short week, he can save some grace and coach for his job Thursday. I wouldn't be surprised to see him be super aggressive on calls all night. I worry about the Saints as well. I really hope our week of rest to get healthy and realign focus outweighs the risk of us getting lazy again. Hopefully, the last time we played them was a wake up call and they come in motivated and pissed off to prove a point. However, the Saints are having fun shitting on everyone and I would not be surprised if it was a repeat. Somehow I feel us and the Bucs will both find a way to lose.

Man Mahomes with the pick... Texans offense needs to wake the fug up

1) This article is from the middle of the 2024 season. There was no season that ended with 202.8 YPG. By the end of the season, passing numbers had bounced up to 217. We shared those numbers here a few times. The fact that from Oct to end of season numbers went up by ~14 yards suggests we'll see a bounce up this year too. 2) The article you're referencing is from 2016 onwards... My numbers were not, just last few years. That's the time period we're talking about. 3) There is DEFINITELY a long term trend down. My comment was regarding it is unlikely I see teams changing strategies with regards to QBs because the numbers have been pretty consistent for the last 4 years.

That hit was nasty wow

Decided to look at the BIG drop off was 2021 -> 2022... I do remember people saying the same thing last year, I think that the last few games some players had tons of yards and pulled the average up. We'll see if that happens again

Looking at only the top passers only, it would appear they haven't changed but when you look at the NFL overall, they have. Here is a link to an ESPN article discussing that subject: Why passing numbers are down From that article, the passing numbers ince 2016 have gradually declined from 250.9 to 202.8

He's not looking good in the 2nd half

Cam Ward is a rookie, Jayden Daniels has been injured all year, Penix has missed several weeks, Baker Mayfield is way above the average in a bunch of league stats, Bo Nix is top third in a bunch of them, Trevor Lawrence and Michael Penix are probably average NFL starters and their teams may indeed move on from them, and Caleb Williams is still unknown 2 years in. Cam Ward is the only one of those that is basically worse than Bryce in every stat (other than Y/G, lol, where he is barely ahead). So again which stats is Bryce at / above the league average? I know which he is, do you?

Stroud is sailing everything

Well than so are Baker Mayfield, Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix, Michael Penix, Trevor Lawrence, Cam Ward and Caleb Williams. Are you claiming they should all be dumped because they are also below average?
