We won in every meaningful statistical category. We had more rushing yards, more passing yards, we won the time of possession, and a higher red zone conversion percentage. Not listed here was also a higher 3rd down percentage conversion (9-15 vs. 5-10).

What's the one stat line that really stands put as significantly different? 8-85 vs. 4-22. That was the key difference, folks. 

You need some major fugery for a team to lose on the scoreboard when they win on yardage, time of possession, and turnover battle.

Like i said in another thread, a team like Denver who only has defense needs the whistles to go their way. They need the refs to not see the holding, illegal contact, and flagrant hits in order to stay in the game. If those calls are made, all that adds up insane penalty yardage not even there defense came overcome against a good all around team. We got beat again by the zebras not Denver. 2 games back to back same play out? Cant make this poo up.

to be honest, winning in every statistical category and losing on the scoreboard happens all the time in the NFL. 

 

I wish I had ESPN's fancy computer that spits out random stats, but I'd be willing to bet good money that a team that 1. gains more yards 2. wins time of possession 3. wins the turnover battle 4. has a higher redzone percentage and 5. has a higher 3rd down conversion percentage likely has a staggeringly high winning percentage. Like probably damn near never loses. I'm talking Stephen Curry free throw percentage type win percentage.

Denver has STILL YET to fairly beat us. Superbowl was rigged, this game was rigged, and I'm willing to bet any other future games against Denver will be rigged in their favor. Nothing anybody says will convince me that we are a worse team than them. Play us without the refs and we win 9 times out of 10.

ok, maybe in those specific statistical categories teams do win more often than not. I'm just saying stats don't always tell the full story. The outcome of games are determined by many different factors. In this case, Gano makes that kick and all the stats you mentioned are indicative of the outcome of the game. 

I see what you're saying, but we lost by 1 point. If we would have gotten blown out on the scoreboard but won in every statistical category, then I would say you're on to something

It's not just that we gained more yards than they did or something like that. 

You can pick just about any single statistical category and it's relatively insignificant by itself (except turnovers, that on by itself is significant -  I can't find the NFL stats, but in college football a team that's +2 in turnovers for a game like we were tonight wins over 80% of the time) , but when you have a near clean sweep on the stat sheet, it's HARD to lose. Something weird had to happen. Special teams scores, defensive scores, etc. None of that happened. What happened is pretty clear on that boxscore. Ref fugery happened.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
