I am Scared

I thought The Golden Calf of Bristol was 2 for 8 for 69 Yards. Which scares me because how can we throw for 212 yards and lose and Denver throw 2 complete passes all day and win. The Golden Calf of Bristol is averaging 10 completions a game, and 6 completions a game when they win. Is our team that bad?

One day people will figure out why the best offenses are ranked by efficiency not yards or attempts. The Golden Calf of Bristol was the most efficient QB in the NFL today 2 completed passes = win. ;)

But to answer your question. Yes we really are that bad. Offenses are best ranked by total scoring efficiency and we are ranked 25th: http://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/yards-per-point

One of the worst offenses in the NFL. We get a lot of yards but we don't score enough points. Our defense is now ranked 20th, so it's now officially quite a bit better than our offense.

An average offense travels 14.2 yards to get 1 point. 100 yards/ 7 points

We have to travel almost 19 yards for the same point, and this doesn't even count turnovers. So when you factor that in, we're no better than a team like Indianapolis. Deceiving when you watch them on the field, but very true, and very real. They are incredibly inefficient.

Think of it as an average offense plays on a 100 yard long football field.

But then when our offense gets on, their field is 133 yards long on each drive. So the extra yards we get means nothing to make us better. We need them just to be average at scoring points.

So if a game has 4 scoring TD drives from each team, our offense needs an additional(133) yards to keep up with just an average offense and also score 4 touchdowns.

A very efficient offense like Green Bay or San Francisco they only travel 12 yards for the same point.

So their field is usually only 84 yards long. Imagine what happens then when we face one of these guys.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      How about just don't draft project players in the first round? How about especially when you have arguably the worst roster in the NFL(we did all those years in question)? You don't even have to dig into those player debates specifically. Just don't grasp at straws early in the draft.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      I think there were 9, and since I haven't took time to watch each of them on each play individually Its impossible for me to say, which I doubt you have either.   It's not a stat driven grading system; it's a per play grading system.  Tommy Tremble making a great block to spring Rico for that 10-yard run might actually score higher on that play then Ricos run. The actual run might not be anything special; it might be a run that pretty much every back in the league would have made. Here again, I would guess, if you look at every RB in the league, he is towards the top in rushing grade for the year which is what most of us are seeing.  Whether you call that a 90/80/70, 50/40/30, A/B/C, Gold/Green/Red star, it doesn't really matter it's how he ranks relative to everybody else at his position.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By strato · Posted

      Well I will never knock a strong arm, in a vacuum, but it is a lot more than that to it.  Did we kill our roster building and our defense in particular to stick PJ out there?  No. We knew we sucked and he was really just a temporary thing too.  While with Bryce I see the up and down, mostly down, roller coaster on loop now in year three. It has been a Looooong time.    Back to strong arms, it is like having a powerful motor in a car. All the power in the world isn’t going to overcome a bad driver.   But at the same time, even a decent drive with a killer car will beat the best driver if you put him in a go kart   Exaggerating for effect, I know Bryce is not a go kart. Maybe closer to a 6 cylinder with not much displacement…..
