How is it possible that Lamar Jackson’s QBR was 67.4 last night and Josh Allen’s was 91.6

What is this crazy stat ESPN is throwing out there and why does it feel like they’re trying to troll everyone

The first three quarters were accounted for would be my guess.

Lamar was great the whole third quarter except for the fumble on the 1, which was admittedly terrible.

he wasn't even that bad in the first half, the Colts just shut down the run and it took too long for Roman to adjust

This season is very similar to the 2001 season for the Ravens where we had to refigure the whole offense in short order due to preseason injuries. And so far we are doing a much better job!!

Thank god for the Houston Texans for taking Culley

What's going on with Bavaria

They're not as inviting of foreigners as the rest of Germany. They watch a top tier club play constantly in Bayern Munich, and as was hit on by several posters, Bavaria is not a place that Germans all want to travel to.

Wait, Wentz was wearing a mask on the sideline but Lamar wasn’t right? I guess that means the rumor that he actually got vaxxed was true?

If the Cowboys don’t run away with this game then McCarthy should be fired. Which is maybe what Cowboys fans should root for honesty.

I think McCarthy is a yes-man placeholder till Moore gets a little more experience under his belt anyway

Yes. Pretty much all of the beat writers have implied that Lamar got vaccinated in early-to-mid August, and has avoided commenting on it since then presumably at his request to avoid looking like he gave in to peer pressure.

Not to say that the team doesn't have people who refuse to take the vaccine (looking at you, Houston, Brandon Williams and Madubuike), but Lamar for all intents of purposes isn't currently among them.

I definitely heard the rumors and it sure seemed like he had stopped wearing it in places he had before, but the radio silence on it was weird.

After traveling up and down Bavaria I never experienced any kind of unwelcoming actions. I imagine it is pretty similar to upper middle class midwest America. You have to scratch deeper than you think to uncover the economic elitism and institutional racism that you know is there.

Bad, very bad!

Mahomes has been more or less fine and good but far from perfect, the offense is loving up quite a bit when they need to be absolutely perfect, the defense is doing it's best impression of the time Kemper Arena's roof collapsed--insert whatever structural disaster you like the best here. e: the Hyatt Regency Walkway collapse is the local disaster I was actually thinking of.

They'll still probably be fine, but there's a lot of stuff to figure out since 'oh this has been a hard schedule' will be the teams they need to beat in the playoffs (hopefully).

On the development of QBR.

quote:

The group also worked closely with a number of ESPN analysts, including Super Bowl-winning quarterback Trent Dilfer, Super Bowl champion head coach Jon Gruden and Ron Jaworski, to understand the mindset and the demands placed upon the modern NFL quarterback.

Maybe not the best metric for young Black athletes.

QBR at least tries to quantify QBs being sacked which isn’t used in the older QB rating at all.

If you're not a dick people have vastly overstated anti-American sentiment once you're actually on the ground in another country. I've never been anywhere where I felt immediately unwelcome because I was an American.

Yeah I feel like a lot of this is self-fulfilling prophecy. The people angry about a Greek restaurant in Dettelbach, Germany not selling burgers or speaking English are the ones that (like a buddy’s wife who did that when we went out with them) are most likely to return home saying Europe sucks and treat Americans like poo poo.

I will say I was over there during NFL Europa and never saw a single indicator of it anywhere in Frankfurt or Munich
