Just when I think I’m out - the Chicago Bears pull me back in.
Right where I belong.
Funny how that works.
And still - in an “ugly win is still win” game, they ended up losing.
I haven’t been this fired up for a Sad Stats blog in quite some time.
It’s scorched Earth week.
Here are your sad stats for Week 8.
But the final two play sequence showed how dumb Eberflus really is.
First of all, he gave the Commanders about 15-yards the play before for free.
If that play didn’t matter, then why do you think the Commanders did it there coach?
And what in the hell is Edmonds (#53) assignment here?
kindly don’t tell me he’s covering the running back.
Dear God he’s covering the running back isn’t he?
Let me twist the knife into my own thigh a little more.
I’ll try not to squirt blood next to the chairs next to me.
Only they lost both games.
Have a seat, Tyrique.
RIP the ole saying “it’s never one guy that loses a football game”.
Like receivers running down the field full speed.
What would that note look like exactly?
“Don’t be a complete idiot at the end of the game”?
I mean, do you write notes for yourself to put on pants in the morning?
I need to see what else is in this notebook.
“The game ain’t over until zeroes hit the clock”????
Did you really just say that?
The Ravens are such a weird team.
The largest differences in overall team DVOA rank this season are 27, and 30.
30 meaning the #1 rank vs the #31 rank.
Reminder that the max rank difference possible is 31.
The Ravens own both of these differences and lost both games (Raiders and Browns).
The Chiefs are just inevitable.
Oh - speaking of the Chiefs being inevitable.
They were that other team that lost with a 30 rank difference.
Week 3, 2022 when the Matt Ryan led Colts somehow beat the Pat Mahomes Chiefs.
Here’s how things would look doing this for every team.
The Jets would go from their reality of 2-6 to 4-3-1.
Jets fans thought they were one quarterback away before Rodgers.
Then one receiver away before Adams.
But really, they’ve just been one kicker away.
Flacco is the perfect control group in the “does my quarterback suck” field of science.
Not that you really needed a random control trial… Let’s talk history.
And wouldn’t you know it - they were a soft team ending the season 3-13.
New York Football Giants everyone.
