Watching these playoff team's offenses

I get tired of people acting like PFF is the Bible. You can't accurately grade individual players unless you actually know the assignments. We can assume assignments, but we don't know for sure especially with busted plays.

I watch a lot of games and the Cowboys were the best OL I saw followed by the Raiders. 

Sometimes I think PFF tries a little too hard to come up with opinions that go against the norm.

And yeah... having a rookie QB behind that OL absolutely matters. Rookies tend to take more sacks.

Dak doesn't take a lot sacks because he's smart, smarter than a lot of vets. Just the fact that each player of the Titan's O-line gave up so little sacks is phenomenal! The run blocking was exceptional as well. The Cowboys and especially the Raiders didn't do as well as a unit. That's just the facts.

The Cowboys have the best OL. A rookie RB ran for over 1600 yards. 7th fewest sacks allowed while starting a rookie QB.

I would consider Beasley an elite slot receiver, but admittedly that's arguable.

We have three players who could start on offense for them - Cam, KB, and Olsen. That's it.

 

I have no idea why fans of a 6-10 team have so much trouble giving the talent of a 13-3 squad (that lost a nailbiter to a red hot team with a GOAT QB, despite starting a rookie QB and RB) its due. Cowboys can go all defense in April and are looking good for the foreseeable future.

Newton had by far the worst completion percentage of qualifying QBs -- the second worst was nearly 4 p.p. better. You can't blame that sort of statistical deviance on an OC. 

 

And perhaps Shula avoids calling for short, accurate passes for the same reason Kyle Shanahan doesn't call QB keepers for Matt Ryan. 

Hmm your argument doesn't really add up, especially given the fact that Shula called deep, long time taking plays with the offensive line that we had. Also, we all know why Matt doesn't see any QB keepers but Cam has shown that he can make the short throws. Like I've been telling all you Falcons fans enjoy Cam's down year while you can. Honestly I just found out you were a Falcons fan several weeks ago (around the second time we played y'all) maybe I just didn't notice it, and excuse my ignorance if im wrong, but where were you last season? I do think you make quality posts itd be a shame if you disappear when we are good again.

We were all counting Matt Ryan out after last season, don't make the same mistake we did.

When Matt Ryan wins the MVP with Ted Ginn Jr as his #1 WR, and not Julio f*cking Jones, then you can come back here and start flapping your gums Falcons fans.

Until then, your boy is still a braided belt wearing fairy.

Don't step in this house thinking you run anything.

Matt Ryan is basically a more efficient Mark Sanchez at this point.

Goofy bastard playing out of his mind managing the game behind a stacked team with great play calling, and arguably the best WR in the NFL.

He put up a 117 QB rating this season and just torched the Seahawks with Julio hobbled (as he has been much of the season), all despite a pretty terrible defense Playing out of his head? Of course -- we've never seen anything like this from him. Mark Sanchez comparisons? Laughable, and you know it. 

He's about to take home the MVP award -- either the 50 AP voters are totally off-base and can't see that he's more or less on level with a 3rd stringer, or you're letting your Panther/Cam fandom pollute your perception.

Atlanta is winning because they are effective at running the ball with Coleman and Freeman

Dallas is the one see because of their run game

New England looks invincible because of the duo of Blount and Dion Lewis

Laveon Bell has single handidly changed the steelers season

 

Ron is right. We need to run the ball better to lengthen drives and take some pressure off Cam. 

Look at all 4 of these teams and there's one thing they all have that we don't, a serious receiving threat out of the backfield. When our RBs line up, defenses don't really have to worry about that aspect of our offensive game plan. You have to be able to be versatile with your RBs. and we aren't.

Mark Sanchez probably had more playoff wins than Matt Ryan until yesterday. Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Cam had a bad season, along with the rest of our team.

But you stepping in here talking poo when your board was ready to run Matty Melt out of town on a rail last year is beyond ironic.

Take your success with a big slice of humble pie.

Cam can do more than most QBs with a 50% completion percentage can due to our system and his arm strength. 70% is overrated. I rather have a QB go 5-10 for 100 yards and than a QB who will go 8-10 for 50 yards. Fug that Alex Smith garbage.

I mean, you of all fans should recognize that poo. Yeah, Cam misses his two passes... but then completes a 35 yard laser. Just imagine what will happen to defenses when Shula finally gets Cam into a rhythm early in a game.

 

The problem is Cam will complete a long pass then go 3 and out. 

Id rather complete 4-6 yard passes that continual move the chains than hit on a few deep balls in a game but have to punt more often.

It is all about moving the chains and scoring points. 

Teams usually give up the flats and check downs or drags. 

Need to take that and force the team to cover short. That will open up the deep stuff.

    • I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.   
    • IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st. 
    • Season tickets aren't affordable anymore definitely when they've been so bad for 8 years before last season. When I started going my seats were front row uppers for like 38 bucks. Those seats are 100 dollars now. Teams make their money from tv, if I was an owner my goal would be to break even on tickets and concessions.
