So now all of sudden according to a lot of fans Bryce could have won us those other 5 Games if he could have been allowed to "sling it around". And anybody with common sense is supposed to believe this??? This the problem i have with this fanbase. They will turn over every rock to excuse Bryce for sub par play. Nevermind just enjoying the win and being glad he finally stepped it up. Gotta throw Canales in the fire because Bryce finally having a good passing game against the ONLY team he has done it against in the past and won.

Hallmark of the stan agenda. They choose not to focus on what happened to make the cuffs go on in the first place. That is irrelevant.

I don't have to, I've been paying attention. Defenses are getting better or qb's are getting worse because I've seen the final yards of qb's around the league and it's way down this year.

This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop.

Yeah that’s true.  
Pendulum at work.  It will go back to the aerial fireworks at some point. 

Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.

Weren't we saying passing was way down last year too and it trended waaay up the last 8ish games?  I feel like this came up in discussions last year too, where some QBs (Burrows comes to mind) exploded from week 10 onward. Burrows was like 250/game until week 10 and then 330/game the rest of the way. I feel like someone pointed out a few other players with similar stats (Josh Allen and Mahomes both follow the trend it seems)

I think offenses get more film on what defenses are doing and start to exploit them.

Some folks say it's because teams are playing more shell defenses preventing more longer passes.  The analytics folks would rather you pass for 7 years every down.  As you state, the crop of QBs is mixed as far as quality.

I think when you put it all together, it's a recipe for less passing yards.
