Recommended Posts

I won't be posting any statistical analysis tonight, but I certainly enjoyed having one thread last week as a place to gather key stats & analysis.  So, here's a thread for just that.

Any key stats, any nice game analysis, please post it here.

I'll have some game analysis and stats tomorrow evening.

Rapid Reactions: Panthers 2-0 After Toppling Texans

http://blackandbluereview.com/panthers-texans-week-2-2015-rapid-reactions/

Houston’s Horrid Ground Game

It’s hard to win in the NFL without a run game, and the Texans don’t have one without injured back Arian Foster. They gained just 24 yards on 11 carries in the first half and just 37 more in the second. It’s the eighth time in their last nine regular-season games that the Panthers have held an opponent below 100 rushing yards. It was the first time they’ve done it despite being without LB Luke Kuechly and DT Star Lotulelei.

Joe Person has some instant analysis.  Wow, 29 incompletions for Mallett:

Defense taking care of bad quarterbacks

The Panthers have yet to face a good passer. They will next week when Drew Brees comes to town.

But the defense did its part against Blake Bortles and Ryan Mallett, who made his third career start Sunday.

Mallett had 29 incompletions, but made things interesting late.

Playing in place of Luke Kuechly, Klein had a key interception. The Panthers had taken Klein out in a lot of passing situations, but he was on the field and made a nice drop in coverage to pick off Mallett.

Charles Johnson’s pressure on Mallett forced an intentional grounding on the Texans’ final drive.

DeAndre Hopkins had 9 receptions, 98 yds & 2 TDs in Week 1. 1 catch for 16 yds in first half today.

Official JJ Watt stats from first half: 4 tackles, 1 QB hurry, 1 pass defensed. Not bad, considering.

    • Because being a pauper in the NFL is still making a king's ransom. NFL vet min is roughly 18x the median salary in the U.S.
    • At some point I sense it's gonna create some hate and locker room cancer between these cap hogs and the rest of the players. When the top 6 or 7 players take 80% of the cap, the other 40 plus guys are gonna get pissed off, especially when they're still only winning 5 or 6 games. Why put everything on the line to play with guys who are only in it for themselves? 
    • I am just spitballing here--let it play out and I will go to bed: Let's say Mahome's contract comes due and he insists on $100m per season.  Is there a team that would find the money to pay it?  Would KC? It was in 2015 (I think) when Cam was getting $20m and it was hard to grasp.  In the past decade, the price of a franchise QB has tripled.  Then the next QB bases his contract on the Mahomes deal.  The trend has been the last QB contract is the highest.  I see nothing to discourage that trend--Greed can destroy a league.  Personally, I don't watch baseball any more, and the NBA has a small group of about 8 teams that appear on national TV and they have players who make more than some eastern block countries.  Ticket prices go up---and we are headed for pay-per-view very soon across the board-
