Most explosive plays by team in 2022 - 10+ yard rush and 20+ yard catches.

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

Who would have thought that explosive plays have no correlation to winning… that’s crazy.

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.

    • Some people have been beaten down so long they have no standards. Can't be reasoned with.
    • Getting better, might be fairly charitable. We finished 1-3 with the pressure on. That is for sure not trending up.  I don’t see a clear run of performances that prove he has taken it to another level. Not yet.  I would say he played really well in the WC game. And folded on that last series where we still had a chance. I think he threw one good ball. That last series is the kind of thing a player is supposed to learn from and not repeat. We have to see him do it before we can credit him for doing it.    I would also say he has not done enough of playing at his ceiling and what we should expect as the game in game out norm is still not established.  We gonna get MNF in SF or we gonna get the WC game? Seattle or Atlanta yardage record?   Besides that he has three years of horrendous play to start the season hanging over him. Are we going to get that again or will he be over that? We can’t know that. Mind you, that isn‘t two of three it is three of three he has yet to play well to start the year as a pro. Ofer.    So, many questions remain.    As far as weapons and help… said it before. Fix the OL so we can protect him.  It is time for a 1.1 pick in his 4th season, third year in the same offense, to elevate the players we have given him. You can’t keep up the level of investment dedicated to propping him up, you have to prop up the defense too and get some balance.   
    • Yeah, just got back to the house from doing some actual work, hopefully they create some better chances in the second half. 3-1 looks tough for you
