2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

But yards are yards and the front 7 also helps out stopping the pass and LJ went for less than 5 per I would think because of their pressure.

49ers D held Bmore to 20 when their avg. is around 34. They care about points then all yards. Not just rushing yards. and not just QB rushing yards as they held Ingram under 4 per.

My point is I would not have been looking to criticize the 49ers defense for anything in that loss. I'd be more inclined to say overall they did a hell of a job and also credit the ravens' defense.

That's fair.

I just see it differently.

It happens.

 

[Mecca]

Too bad. didn't play as well as he could have here with Lebron, but always liked the guy when he was here. Tough break.

I think he had some serious confidence issues.

It started in Utah.

 

[dtgold88]

Points matter, yes.

How many points would the Ravens have scored if he didn't get loose for those 100 yards?

We won't ever know because they couldn't.

You are giving San Fran credit for holding him below his norm in total yardage.

I'm applying that same logic to support my claim that he ran all over them.

You introduced the points and total yardage.

My argument was specifically about his rushing.

So, if they excelled at keeping his total yards and points down, they failed at keeping him at his average on the ground.

Sure, they did much better than most.

But, they lost and that makes them the tallest midget.

* remembers this is a nba thread *

Clippers are so trash.

put these In order by what teams care most about....
A) total rushing yards
B) total yards
C) rushing yards by QB only
D) total points

I'd say D, B, A, C

you?

does offense or the other team's defense have anything to do with the loss, or was it strictly rushing yards by the opposing QB?

 

[dtgold88]

I think he had some serious confidence issues.

It started in Utah.

Always thought he was playing pretty well in Utah, improving most years.....then just lost confidence here, I suspect in Lebron's shadow and the pressure.

 

[Mecca]

Love hasn't been great since a strong start, but think he might be hurt some. Hard to know if he'd sit as much if they needed to win. If he's really hurt might make another team think twice about taking on his salary.

Portland does seem like a decent fit and, yeah, I suspect if they move him it's to trim future salary, so an expiring Whiteside would certainly be in play.

Another guy I suspect will come available if his team is floundering...

Aldridge.

I would probably lean towards a healthy Love over Aldridge.

But, as you said, he might be gimp and that's a lot of money left on his deal.

They did a solid job except for containing Lamar running the ball. Everything else they were really good at

The order is obvious.

But, you forgot option E, win or loss.

Yes, they held them to fewer points.

But, it was in a loss.

So, that just makes the 9ers defense the tallest midget.

But they care about total yards....do you really not believe yards are yards and points matters more? While you mentioned how awful the 6.3 ypc is and how it compares to leading rushers (never mind in 4 of last 5 games he was well above that mark), where do you think holding him to less than 5 yards/pass ranks compares to the worst passers?

Which was the original comment...

Kids are with the in-laws. So, I have plenty of time to keep going around this mulberry bush.

OK, add in win/loss. I'll put that first. But how do we determine wins and losses...is it by points or yards?

And my original comment is the D cares about total points and total yards.

and, yes, they care most about the W or L, but SFs offense has something to do with that....and I guess I just found it strange you chose to rip an aspect of the SF D that held Bmore to 2 TDs under their avg., while letting the SF offense skate while scoring 12 points under theirs. Or something completely different.....CREDITING and not blaming. Like offering props to the Baltimore defense for limiting SFs offense well below their avg.

Have a good night all.

I find the total yards argument to be valid for most NFL Quarterbacks.

But, not Lamar.

Outside of maybe Michael Vick, has there ever been a QB whose ability to run is so much more deadly than his ability as a pocket passer?

He has improved dramatically as a passer this year.

But, those legs.....

By the final score.

Ok.

Portland cant catch a break.

Looks like Hood may have injured his Achilles

That's unfortunate - Always hate to see a player get hurt - I saw that when he went down - did not look good

 

[wildturkey]

A rule is a rule but they need to change it. Chris Paul is a little bitch though.

 

[tlance]

If they did just fine, why did the 2nd best defense in the NFL give up 100 plus yards in a losing effort?

Again: The Ravens had very little going for them outside of Lamar running.

Still, they couldn't stop him.

Contain him on the run, win easily.

Let him get loose...

Well, we already know the outcome.

San Francisco is allowing 134 passing yards a game, which is insanely good in today’s pass happy climate. They are also averaging about 116 yards rushing allowed.

Wind conditions on Sunday made throwing the football very difficult. The Ravens rushed for 178 yards while the 9ers sold out to stop the run.

Yes, it was far below the Ravens averages for their normal offensive output. Also was above the 9ers average for total yards allowed on a day where the weather was not conducive for offensive football.

Say what you will about the word choice. You guys are arguing semantics. The Ravens won largely because of Lamar Jackson’s rushing.

 

[DJ]

The Lakers....

 

[LambeauLegs]

The Bucks are killing the Clippers.

When I was watching at one point they had a 41 point lead before they put most all the bench in for the last 6 minutes or so. I thought they were suppose to be one of the tougher teams in the west. 14 in a row and a season sweep of the Clippers
