Last year, half the teams on Thanksgiving Day scored more than 30 points.  Today, no one has yet, although MN/NE may.  I don't have any stats to back it up, but it seems that scoring is down some this year.

Scoring peaked in '21 with teams averaging 24.8 points per game. It dropped to 23 last year. It's at 21.8 so far this year. So year, scoring is trending down. I fully expect the NFL to further tweak the rules this off-season on an effort to reverse that trend.

But all three games have been good and entertaining.

They need to give the defense more leeway. Scoring is too easy already.

I did. Passer rating is within half a point completion percentage is almost identical. Passing yards are within 150 of each other.

Pretty much identical. 

Perhaps you could show me where my comprehension is off?

 

Lamar is at

63.4% 1977yds 16td 7int and 91.7 rating

Daniel is at

65.1 % 1937yds 9td 4int 89.8 rating

 

Lol one player has almost double TDs than the other. Glad you are looking at rating too. Jones has a better rating than Stafford. Time for the Rams to draft a QB too??

In what world is nearly 50% more yards "pretty similar"?

You can keep making this argument if you want but there's nothing to support it. Lamar is an NFL MVP. Daniel Jones is a guy who sucks so bad that the Giants didn't even pick up his 5th year rookie contract option.

 

He gets blinded by QBs than can run. For some reason it triggers him and he can’t make a fair assessment of them.

Yeah I guess Lamar averaging close to 23 passing td's a year to Jones at about 10 a year is somehow negatively affected by Lamar averaging 5 rushing TDs a year to Jone's 2.5, because running is bad

I hope not, the game needs balance

Never understood why Kirk Cousins was never considered a franchise QB. Clearly he can play 

Lack of postseason success. That's a big factor in how you're perceived. 

Unless of course you just look cool. Lots of guys get extra points for looking cool.

Kinda like the Pontiac Fiero and DeLorean from the 80's

      Dan Morgan interviews this week

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Another thread where the Huddle melts down over a Bryce comment.  "Conversations" and "Bryce Young has been signed to a new long-term contract" are still far away from being the gospel.  For a fanbase that has watched two top-3 drafted QBs come here, and us move on, only to see them elevate their play elsewhere, I find it comical. Bryce is flawed but this org is damned if you do and damned if you don't with BY9.  Why would our GM and HC say anything other than supportive about their QB1. Yes, he's extended, but I truly do not think if he goes out and has a repeat of the previous seasons, that he is here beyond 2027. They're giving him every opportunity and surrounding him with a ridiculous amount of assets on both sides of the ball. If he continues to pitch 110 yd/ game and cough up the ball while everyone else is busting their ass, no way Dan keeps him beyond the extension.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Ooof, I was not a Proctor fan. I agree w/ a lot of smarter folks than me that he's more of a guard and think his weight fluctuation is going to be something to navigate. I liked Lomu a lot, but figured there would be more talented guys there at 19. I also wasn't big on bringing in a TE via the draft. If it's not a vet (Njoku) or a trade for Mayer or Kmet, I'd just as soon see what the youngsters have. No need cluttering the room with more of the same.

      Sam Darnold & Bryce Young are two very different Qbs ..just saying the last 25 years approximately 2/3 of ALL  first round Qb's  in the NFL were or are bust.so for everyone who makes it like a Sam Darnold you have two that don't make it or are a bust
