Woah. Buccaneers @ Falcons on a short week might be a really, really painful game.

Nick Foles was the winning QB last night. He was the only winning QB this week to throw an interception. And here's quick reads: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/quick-reads/2014/week-2-quick-reads quote:31. Matt Cassel: It's not just that Cassel was awful, it's that he got worse as the game went along. By DYAR, his fourth quarter was worse than his third quarter, which was worse than his second, which was worse than his first. His average completion came just 2.7 yards past the line of scrimmage, least of any quarterback this week.

Mind_Taker posted:The defense is currently ranked #1 in yards allowed, I love early season stats for their pure weirdness based on who they've played. The Patriots have the best pass defense in the league, the Bears are 4th. The Seahawks are 27th. The Texans are allowing 5.8 yards per rushing attempt. The Bengals are averaging almost 10 yards per pass attempt. The Seahawks are the worst defense on 3rd down currently. The Eagles are the best. The Buccaneers have assigned 118 tackles on plays. The Ravens, 68. Both have played ~125 defensive snaps. (I presume the other 50 were assigned to Ray Lewis)

Yeah but all Brady vs all Peyton would just be a thousand bullet passes into tiny holes that are mostly dropped or converted for 5 yard gains. I don't think that would even be football at that point.

Volkerball posted:Broncos fans are tired of dealing with Phil Simms biased commentary, so they've put in a petition to ban him from covering Broncos games. The city of Denver has spoken. I oppose it because every Broncos game Simms does is one less Patriots game he's assigned to.

Ozu posted:NFL Rating is the quarterback rating of those throwing into his coverage thus far. He's been targeted a whopping 4 times so it's an essentially meaningless small sample size. Yup. All a super low one can really tell you is the guy caught an int or two at this point due to how the passer rating formula works.

Yeah, just tiny sample sizes. Aside from the Jaguars, the Patriots committed unholy acts against a Matt Cassel led attack that lost their best player the day before the game. Somehow I doubt Seattle will be the 21st ranked defense once they're not playing Rodgers and Rivers. It'll be lower, because here comes a throbbing Peyton

I didn't even notice that. I don't think early season DVOA is very useful...

Ozu posted:They basically tell you to not even pay attention to DVOA until at least week 4. Yeah, that's also why they use that previous season stat (DAVE) for the first chunk of the season to normalize data.

Harlock posted:I don't think they're actually building a case against Brandon Marshall but a class action (?) suit on the NFL because of negligence? (???) Without having time to look into it, that's my reading as well. They're probably going to claim the league knew and acted idiotically which considering the last few weeks means they've probably got the most airtight case in history.

It'd probably be funnier if Kaep had directed whatever he said at a punter. Except it's impossible to call one something more derogatory then punter.

Oh, another player is trying that weird stock thing that feels so much like a scam: Andrew Brandt posted:Another athlete will have his "stock" for sale. Fantex will acquire 13% of the "brand income" of WR Alshon Jeffery for $7.94M. At least this one looks like it makes more sense then Arian Foster's.

No Butt Stuff posted:What do you figure the assistant special teams coach makes? I'm sure it's more than me, but he also feels poor every day he drives to work. It's not reported anywhere, but appears to generally be in the low 6 figures for assistant coaches, up to like half a million for long time guys. Coordinators reportedly average around $800k now, with some guys obviously being way higher then that. Pretend I posted an image of Brian Schottenheimer here.

Remember a few days ago when the league claimed the pink out was going to be lessened this year as part a of a planned thing to focus on the military instead? Yeah, Jason La Canfora just annihilated that in pregame. Turns out a bunch of companies were going to have a massive pink push with players on all 32 teams that was scrapped after Adrian Peterson's stuff came out. Whoops!

Gerund posted:Can I get a link? This poo poo is amazing. Goodell should walk the plank. Not seeing any news articles. La Canfora just spent a few minutes on it in pregame. A Pale Horse posted:At this point its becoming some sort of dark comedy. Their incompetence over the past two weeks has been stunning and scary to behold. I didn't think Goodell's job was ever really in danger, but I am starting to think that if two or three more things pile on within the month it really could be curtains for him. Yeah, even ignoring everything else, the NFL's management has looked incredibly incompetent and reactionary in all of this. Their security department has to either be incompetent or incredibly pissed as well considering how much they've been thrown under the bus in this.
