I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.

Appears you don’t understand math or football. You said you needed 2 of a good defense, a good oline, and a good running game. So, you either you can’t count or you don’t know football. [Reply]

3 things. Oline, running game, defense.
You need 2 of those three things to be working (any combination), is what i said. In my previous post, i posted where they were in-season and where they were in the SB. If i used ypc in one but not the other, it was to highlight were they were "good".
Understand. That's not a hard and fast rule that must be followed 100% of the time. There are outliers, just like there are in any analysis. It's just something that happens to be commonplace in championship teams.

Comprende?
lol… again… you cherry picked stats to prove that unit was “good”. What good is ypc without qualifying where that ranked to determine if it was “good” or not? Like you did with defensive ppg (cause it proved your point) but you excluded ypp (like you included ypc for rushing) because the Chiefs defense was a very average 16th at 5.4 ypp allowed.
You can search most any teams stat sheet to find 3 areas they were “good” at. So, if the recipe is THAT simple where is Joes? Or Lamar’s??? [Reply]

Sure, but by trading Tee you get less of a return. Chase, especially with his age would commanded a haul. You use those picks to draft a solid WR and restock the defense with young talent. That long term might have been a better option, but each team has to do what they think gives them the best chance at winning. I am no GM and perhaps my strategy would not have worked. [Reply]

Sure Chase would have demanded more in return, but the Bengals haven't shown to be a very good drafting team. So then they're stuck with a lesser talent who is injury prone and more draft picks to waste. I get what you're saying and agree in theory. Can't always use theory with the Bengals though. :-)
Here are the Bengals drafts since Zac came on board in 2019.
Start off with the home runs; Burrow and Chase. Those were easy. 1OA and 5OA.
Starters: Germaine Pratt (mid), Tee Higgins (injured all the time), Logan Wilson (mid), Dax Hill (IR), CTB (mid with a big mouth), Cordell Volson (sucks major ass), Amarius Mims (TBD-decent so far).
That's 6 drafts. 2 Elite starters and 7 other starters that have a combined zero All Pros and a small handfull of Pro Bowls. Add in 21 backups and a couple PS guys.
That's not good...
Right now, the only guys they have not named Burrow and Chase, who look like they could be higher end players are Amarius Mims and Erick All from this years draft and Burton (WR), Battle (S) and Chase Brown (RB) look like they could be + players. [Reply]
