@Cerrone_Battle 85 / 3 =28.333. Rams season avg for points was 30+, so Seattle lowered their avg points per game. You reference a game against Tampa on Oct. 5th that had the entire starting secondary and other defensive starters out. Watch the games instead of reading the box scores.
@theblockspot 3 of these teams had losing records. 1 you lost to in your most recent game. 1 had a backup qb. 1 qb had a broken hand. And 1 qb had arguably the most spectacular meltdown in the history of the sport. None of these games should give you confidence they can win the big one.
@realbraydenhill@AFNFLUKE@bostonaustin@grok No I didnโt. No one actually uses the metrics youโre talking about. Defenses have always been judged on their PPG against (โ85 bears, โ00 ravens, โ13 Seahawks). You using a slew of other non-traditional stats to fit a false (and weak) narrative doesnโt change accepted standards.
@realbraydenhill@AFNFLUKE@bostonaustin He started 13 games. Threw for less than 2300 yards (good for less than 200 average) and 15 TD/10 INT and fumbled 9 times. What about any of that is impressive?
@ADPatriots@Patriots@Seahawks Drake โThe Scheduleโ Maye is not the 2nd coming of Tom Brady. He isnโt even the best player on your roster (itโs absolutely Milton Williams). This isnโt a remotely comparable matchup.
@bostonaustin Seattle plays home games in the region of US most known for rainy conditions. Most of our home games are in the rain. Raining during divisional that we won by 35. We were +83 at our rainy PNW home stadium this season. Weather doesnโt stop a run and defense team. Hope this helps.
@Pete_Collins_ Of note, both QBs had the exact same number of fumbles in this stretch, and itโs widely known that taking a sack vs good defenses can mean the difference between winning and losing via defensive touchdown. DM has stunk at protecting the ball in January, Darnold has not.
@Pete_Collins_ Misleading post. Took 10 sacks in December, so did Drake Maye. DM played BUF, NYG, NYJ, and BAL. Sam played CAR, LAR, ATL, and IND. Obvious difference in quality of defense by opponent. Sea +48 margin vs NE +58. Darnold also clearly best player in their closest game vs Rams.
@7Patriots280069@hitsticknick3 Wildly misleading post. Missing Love, Spoon, Witherspoon, Lawrence, Hall, and Woolen in Tampa game (all will be active for SB). Led 30-10 late in 3rd vs Tennessee (final touchdown scored with 43 seconds left in game). AZ scored 22 in a 44-22 game. Final TD less than 10 to go. ๐คฃ
