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

      My fantasy team...I'm going all-in

      And for those curious to see a more complete picture: If CMC can't go (which he probably will, as I heard they're just being overly cautious), then I will move Chuba into the dedicated RB slot and will indeed begin my season with T-Mac and X playing. Keep pounding all the way.

      They already were down rice, when Worthy went down and you're relying on old ass kelci and juju and a run game that looks weak as hell you're going to have a bad time. I still won't be surprised at all when they're in the super bowl in February. Philly is going to stomp them next week though

      My fantasy team...I'm going all-in

      By TD alt · Posted

      My fantasy league is named Any Given Sunday. It's a Yahoo friends and family league that's existed since 2008. There's no money involved, just bragging rights. The participants love it, and we love mixing it up and talking sh¡t to one another. I've won the trophy five times (and almost a close sixth), so they love beating me (and seeing me win, oddly). I'm on a four year drought though. So this year I kinda said, "fug it, I'm going all-in on my guys." Amid that, I did something that I never do and went RBs one, two and three, with the critical---some would say the "crazy" move being Chuba at three. So now I'm light on receivers. But, I was ultimately able to get my guys. Dave Canales is already talking crazy talk, suggesting that he's not going to let Chuba run wild in so many words (so I learned in the other thread). I bristle at that. I'm giving Bryce a lotta faith by extension. He's on the wire (but I may as well have played him for all Dakota did the other night). I obviously believe in Tetairoa. He could be my WR1 (other than Scary Terry). I picked up X late, and I'm hoping that he will make the league hate that I did because it was kinda disrespectful for him to be drafted in the 12th round if you ask me. As for JT Sanders, I picked him up as an aside because as we all know, the pickings at TE are slim (especially when you have to try and build a complete team after taking three RBs so early). I hope that Sanders comes through, then I might be looking good.  So, yeah, I kinda went all-in. If there was ever a time for our offense to come alive, I need them to do it this season.  Bryce needs to continue on his ascension from the end of last season, and Canales needs to let Chuba run the damned rock. We have insurance in Rico (as do I), so let Chuba do his thing. If our offense doesn't work this season, then we're just fùcked, and so am I most likely. But I have faith. Now let me go move Golden back to W/T spot. I have faith in X, but no so much that I'm playing him over Golden tomorrow.
