Goff, Not Mako, Wins NFC OPOTW

[Broc]

Imagine watching the game at your favorite bar and somebody at the bar is hollering out go Mako, yay yay.

Sad

Very, we should be helping him get accolades not cock blocking them

I could see that, but I actually disagree, respectfully.

We've indeed reached a place with passing that there's no coming back from, but the plateau is coming. Because of injury issues, lengthening guys' careers, etc., I don't think the TD high marks will move much.

It's not a perfect analogy, but look at wins and innings pitched and pitch counts going down in baseball. I predict we'll see something similar in football, except instead of going down, they'll plateau.

Future teams will more often do one of more of the following:

-use multiple quarterbacks in one game (I actually think this'll happen in the next 10-20 years, as quarterbacks become more homogeneous)

-pull their starting quarterback earlier to avoid injury

-pull back on passing to avoid injury and wear and tear


I also think it will become more of a trend to see players retire earlier.


That's all conjecture on my part, but meh, that's why we're here.

as more points are scored, and they are right now, more teams will be in shoot outs....hence more throwing TDs

this year we are currently at unprecedented levels of scoring....

TDs, are at an all time high. Receiving TDs are ridiculous compared to previous years....

Watched both games. I thought Goff looked/played better. I can see 4 to 6 TD games being normalized in the near future.

It's still a big deal:

Maybe to us old farts, but not to the kids these days....

 

[Novak]

Wait... People actually care about this shit?

 

[sevvy]

Is Minnesota really a better defense? They suck ass right now.

Goff won because it was a close contest. Blowouts are only fun for the winning team.

Of course, if teams get enough of these during the year then your team gets an extra bye week during the playoffs.

It's a new rule this year.

If you want to buy into that story. I'm not. The Vikings haven't proven for shit to be even a respectable defense anymore. Much less good.

 

[Myk]

no it won't, we will see what's what this year

Before or after the Super Bowl win?

I was thinking more consistency game to game I guess. That could take a while.

Maybe to us old farts, but not to the kids these days....

Until more of the kids start showing up in the 7TD list it matters. I'm already surprise some of the new shoot out kings aren't there but Trubisky and Mahomes are.

no it needs to happen this year.....the consistency needs to be reads, ability to perform under pressure and execution in the endzone....he does that and the stats will follow
