https://twitter.com/benbbaldwin/status/1184102815695802376 Also quick reads is up: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/quick-reads/2019/week-6-quick-reads The best QB performance of the week, of course it's Kirk Cousins. The worst? Man is the bottom 5 just dire this week: quote:26. Goff only picked up one first down in this game, and it came with the Rams down by 13 points with less than four minutes left in the fourth quarter. In San Francisco territory, he went 4-of-7 for 12 yards and no first downs. On third and fourth downs, he went 2-of-8 for 3 yards with two sacks and no first downs. On throws to his left, he went 6-of-10 for 26 yards and no first downs. On throws that traveled at least 10 yards downfield, he went oh-for-five ... and no first downs. He would rank even lower, but he gets a big boost in opponent adjustments (63 DYAR) for playing San Francisco, and he did at least manage to avoid interceptions.

Mariota could still go be a backup for a few years and hopefully settle into a system and become the QB he always could be for a late career renaissance type situation Winston just seems like he'll always be a chuck & duck guy, and that's just not gonna work.

^^ Yeah, exactly. Trevor Siemian is the Vikings backup QB, Matt Barkley is the Bills, Brett Hundley on the Cardinals. Top Hats Monthly posted:I think Mariota is probably done. If there is a time to turn his career now it is right now. Guys who don't turn the ball over much and can caretake an offense will always have a job in the league though. Blake Bortles has a job, Mariota could easily bounce around the league for like 15 more years.

Nodoze posted:I don't know that I would say Blake Bortles doesn't turn the ball over much. He averages just under 10 fumbles plus 15 INT's a year, and he did't play a full season his last year. At the very least I'd say he definitely gives the other team the opportunity to take the ball away lol Yeah, I kind of went off on a tangent when I refreshed and saw Adaz's post. In a world where Bortles and all the other aggressively bad backups exist, Mariota is a valued backup, who's probably gonna be making Bridgewater money for the next decade.

DVOA: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/dvoa-ratings/2019/week-6-dvoa-ratingsquote:The final game that had a surprising DVOA result was the Tua Bowl between Miami and Washington. Although the Dolphins almost won with a final two-point conversion, Washington dominated in terms of DVOA. Well, as much as you can dominate when both teams are in the negative: -9.8% DVOA for Washington, and -54.9% DVOA for Miami. Washington had more yards per play (5.4 to 3.9) and Miami had two interceptions and two fumbles while Washington had zero interceptions and one fumble. (None of the three fumbles ended up as turnovers.) Four different Miami drives went backwards, while the only Washington "drive" that went backwards was the final kneeldown.  Also 9 of the top 12 teams are in the NFC currently

We just discovered in the AFC East thread that if you are sick of penalties and want the refs to cut that poo poo out, you need to be watching... the Dolphins. They've been called for HALF as many penalties as the Browns or Falcons (28), and have benefitted from the least penalties as well, 33, with the Titans having had 56 benefit them. Good, fundamental football there folks.

On Sundays just kick off two games every hour one on each CBS / FOX and just let them aggressively cut between them as the situation warrants when your home team isn't playing.

Intruder posted:I could be remembering wrong but I think a lot of people made fun of the Matt Ryan pick Yeah, there were 3 consecutive years before 2008 where the 1st round QB's were dogshit (Alex Smith, Aaron Rodgers, Jason Campbell, Vince Young, Matt Leinart, Jay Cutler, JaMarcus Russell and Brady Quinn) that goons were super down on taking QB's early.

rjmccall posted:So 1 extra game a year would have to be unsystematic, right? With two extra games you could play another in-conference rank (so the 1st-ranked teams also play the 2nd-ranked teams), or you could stop playing the same-rank teams and just play another whole division. But I can’t see how you’d fit in just one more game without either having arbitrary differences (like just playing some random other team that you aren’t already playing) or really radically changing the basic setup (like not playing your division twice). The move that would make the most sense imo would be to play the team in the opposite conference that you played two years ago that finished in the same rank. Right now you only play a team in the opposing conference once every 4 years, and this would give a few more opportunities for sweet matchups. For example, that'd give us a Patriots-Saints game this year, and Brady has faced Brees three times ever. So AFC East plays the NFC East this year, and played the NFC South two years ago, so we'd have had: AFC E vs NFC S Patriots - Saints Dolphins - Falcons Bills - Panthers Jets - Buccaneers AFC N vs NFC N Ravens - Bears Steelers - Vikings Browns - Packers Bengals - Lions AFC S vs NFC W Texans - Rams Colts - Seahawks Titans - 49ers Jaguars - Cardinals AFC W vs NFC E Chiefs - Cowboys Chargers - Eagles Broncos - Washington Raiders - Giants So that'd be a pretty good slate of games, and help out parity and whatnot.

Even if they lose those two games, nobody else is running away with the 2nd bye, so they can still be in contention for that, and at least non-conference games don't hurt much there.

Aye Doc posted:please show me them, because what the absolute heck. so they're not supposed to snap the ball, right? because it looks like absolutely nobody away from the ball for the colts moves at all In addition to what Pat said, the worst case scenario is you have no intention of snapping the ball, so you just take a 5 yard delay of game of illegal formation penalty and that's that. But they had an injury during the game, so the wrong snapper was in, AND on top of that, they decided at the last minute to add a hardcount fake to try and draw an offsides somehow? Anyway, instead the guy snaps the ball and... something much worse then expected happens. In general a well prepared team can and should show the opposing team something super weird when a 5 yard penalty won't cost them anything, because if you get them confused, you either get a lane for a big gain or get them to blow a timeout or do some fuckup. The problem is when you aren't a well prepared team.... that can happen.

Larch posted:Thanks. I feel like I used to be able to find them easily. NFL posts a gamebook pdf for each game but it may miss players who don't play a snap in the game, which may make it less useful then PFR's snapcounts tracker: https://nflcdns.nfl.com/liveupdate/gamecenter/57978/NE_Gamebook.pdf You can find them on each game's page. Football Outsiders also has a snapcounts tracker: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/snapcounts Also unrelated, but Sports Info Solutions made a bunch of their data public and searchable, so if you want stats on what a bunch of nerds think are catchable balls or which WR's get thrown to the most or completed air yards or breakdowns of pressures vs hurries and coverage stats, it's neat to look at: https://www.sisdatahub.com/leaderboards/QB Kalli fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Oct 20, 2019 |

I dunno, Paxton led to the Broncos immediately drafting another bad QB and signing Flacco, who is just like the halfway point between bad Mariota and bad Winston in playstyle.

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:At least they could cut their loses and move on. I dunno, I think that being able to cut losses quickly means the people who made the awful decision don't turn over, so they're just probably going to make another awful decision. Also I generally think QB's are as much a product of their surroundings as natural talent, and teams quickly moving on from trash fire QB's are mostly creating those trash fires, and just likely to create more of them.

Winston's a different story. Dude loving loves not protecting the ball. We knew coming out of college he'd have to change how he played or fizzle out, and he never changed, but the Buccaneers didn't cut bait because he'd throw a dozen balls to Mike Evans for 150 yards which was great except that it'd also come with 3 ints and fumbles. Should've realized he wasn't going to change after the 20th game like that and prepared to move on.
