NBC Sports:

Kirk Cousins was the player who made the biggest impact on the NFL on Sunday. ... Cousins was excellent: He completed 30 of his 48 passes, threw three touchdowns, showed off a great arm on deep balls and nice touch on short passes, only had one interception and — maybe most importantly — felt the pressure so well and got the ball away so quickly that he was never sacked. ... Cousins has looked comfortable taking shots downfield. ... Cousins totaled 427 yards on the day, topping Griffin’s career high by 98 yards.

At some point people will learn that offensive stats against the Eagles and for Eagles players should be considered on a curve because of the pace the Eagles play at.

So if you are thinking about signing FA player off the Eagles you need to dig deep into analytics and advanced statistics instead of drooling over raw numbers

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
