Dispelling the new myth about our offense and defense

The new narrative amongst some on here is that:

"you are being misled. Our defense is fine but we have an inefficient offense that puts too much undue pressure on our defense. That is why our defense is ranked 18th in YPG but is giving giving up 26 points per game. It is because we have a very inefficient offense that is 5th in YPG but only averages 23.5 PPG!! Only smart people can see this!!11!1"

Well according to www.advancednflstatistics.com this new narrative simply doesn't hold water.

According to advanced statistics we are actually ranked 4th in overall offensive efficiency and we are ranked 29th in defensive efficiency.

Now this website uses a formula a little more complex than the YPG + PPG = efficiency formula that some are trying to push as an example of efficiency.

This website will breakdown offenses and defenses to every single snap. They take into consideration turnovers, field position (in other words scoring on a long field is weighted more heavily than scoring with a short field and vice versa for the defensive analysis), penalties, point per possession, third down conversion percentage (also weighted by third down distance), and just a ton of different variables that should go into properly evaluating and offense or defense.

Our offense hasn't been perfect. But it isn't the main problem either.

The good news is our defense is improving. We are up to 29th. We were 32nd three weeks ago.

Spin away if you must PFFL/Pantherball/ProBowler/TheOneThatStungDelhommey/Stew23/whatever new alt you come up with after your inevitable ban once again :lol:

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.

      Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕

      Canales has never been part of big YAC offenses in the NFL.  That’s not his tree.  Not in Seattle, Tampa or here.  Every O he has been associated with basically has been bottom half of the league in YAC.  That’s what Bryce needs to happen though  2 very different things….and very much gets into why the middle school QB doesn’t fit
