And we are definitely where you would guess. This has got to improve next year. 

Edit: for those who can’t click we are the 7th worst at getting explosive plays this season. A lot of that is poor coordinating and QB play

Well with the metric provided, it's one team that has a RB that consistently gets 10+ yard runs (Chubb) and 3 teams with the top running QBs (Bears, Eagles, Ravens).  Would like to see this with some adjustments.

It's all about how it's qualified.  I'd personally love the team to be able to make big plays at will, it helps with scoring TDs which I hear are important.

This is just about offenses and has nothing to do with defenses. But it’s hard to sustain drives if you don’t get chunk plays here and there.

I kinda wish the chart would show a breakdown of it per game. There is some real good story telling that can be done with that depth of data

I don’t disagree, I think this data set might be too “loose” to actually pull informed conclusions from it.

The whole 'explosive play' thing is, IMO, not an indicator of much of anything. Kind of like the 20-yard threshold of 'deep pass' missing the point, which is typically to try to measure how often an offense can cause drastic change in field position or on the scoreboard. Neither a 10-yard run or 20-yard pass achieves that.

IMO yhe best example of this is the Saints after about 2011 or so. Sure, they won games and put up pretty stats, but when it came to the playoffs and competing against the best teams they were unable to really take advantage downfield and got shut down.

Doesn't mean QBs have to be long bombers all the time, but 10 and 20 yard plays in a vacuum aren't that impressive.

We need to go heavy offense in free agency and the draft obviously.  Surprised with the Bears being first cuz of their record.

The Bears have been averaging like 27 points a game over Fields last 6 starts. However, they give up over 30 a game lol.

It’s mainly their run game. They lead the nfl in rushing I believe.

having a running QB helps.

Correct. Chicago has almost 40 more runs of 10+ yards than us. They have 4 less 20 yard completions. However, most of those completions have come over the last seven weeks for them. The dude on twitter is providing other details if you ask in comments.

      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.
