I'm primarily talking about just how much different the passing game in general is between the two eras. The protection QBs get, the protection WRs get, how much tougher it is to cover, the more spread out attacks, etc. It's just a different game now.

Yep...but still if you can run the ball you can beat anybody

That may be the dagger to this game.

Lazard and MVS and Tonyan, the TE, are not chopped liver. I'm trying to tell y'all.

[Harbingers]

Yep Walk in TD.

That's the time honored thinking, but a university crunched the numbers years ago before the passing game went bonkers and believe it or not, rushing number actually had among the weakest correlations to winning in the NFL even back then. I'm thinking that study was done about a decade ago.

Seemed like a matter of time. Rodgers air mailed one and a WR alligator armed another, but the opportunities have been there the entire second half.

I just imagined Teddy doing that and then reality hit me

[LinvilleGorge]

That should've been the curtain call, but dude had a cast on his arm that didn't allow him to make the catch.

[Harbingers]

Oh man that would have been game right there.

[LinvilleGorge]

Goff is basically the best possible version of Teddy which still isn't very good.

Gotta be. He just broke it a couple of weeks ago.
