The NFL Thread 2: 1. T Swift

Almost certainly.

Jets and Giants are sixth and seventh in PD so I guess they’re the sixth and seventh best teams in the league.

Ryan turned the ball over a lot this season, can’t do that in this league.

but lol at not benching Wentz and Ryan getting benched now

Tom Brady is…not well.

Perhaps aging quarterbacks aren’t immune from the clutches of Father Time after all.

JC Jackson out for the year with ruptured patellar tendon. Yikes.

I’m just sad the cowboys played the Bucs before they realized they were going to be awful this year.

I am predicting 400 yards combined rushing for Bears v Cowboys Sunday.

Where are giants?

And the Jets. 3. Cowboys is pretty bold, too.

I’d say Minnesota is the most notable omission.

And does that say “Jacksonville Jaguars” at #9?

Defense-Adjusted Yards Above Replacement (never seen this stat before I don’t think)

FO has been doing DYAR for almost as long as they’ve been doing DVOA.

I have doubts about any system that leaves Josh Allen out of the top 10.

Sounds like the QB coach is horrible. :rofl:

Jags #9 when the only team they’ve played ahead of them is philly and they’re 2-5.

This is one of those check the analytics and throw it into the trash can before you post it. It’s wrong, the end.

Rodgers certainly has not played as well as he has in recent years - his deep balls, in particular, have been pretty bad - but he’s the least of the offense’s problems.

They have no WRs. Finishing the last game were Amari Rodgers, Samari Toure, Sammy Watkins, and Romeo Doubs. That’s bad. Even full health, a top four of Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, Watkins, and Doubs is pretty fucking terrible. I like those guys, but none are lead receivers. Lazard is a good #2, Cobb (who has played well when healthy) is a good #3, Watkins is a solid #3 or #4. I think Doubs is going to be REALLY good, but he’s still making rookie mistakes, as one would expect. There’s just no real hope to do damage through the air.

The offensive line has been quite bad for most of the season. Rodgers has had no time to through and has been hit a lot. They were actually pretty good last game, as the coaches finally figured out they need to do some shuffling. Bakhtiari isn’t 100% yet (didn’t play last game, though his rookie replacement was excellent) and Elgton Jenkins both isn’t back in form and has played most of the season at tackle, which isn’t his best position.

Play calling has been pretty bad, too.

The defense, which was supposed to be the strength, has given up good passer ratings to a parade of backups. The pattern is the same. Hold strong for a half and then give up drive after drive in the second half. Part of that is coaching (the scheme was head-scratching until a couple weeks ago) and part of that, to be fair, is because the offense never stays on the field.

They need Godgers-level play from the QB and he hasn’t been able to provide that.
