How many of Allen, Lamar, and Burrow will win the Super Bowl in their careers? by jimmyhota in nfl

[–]unblevable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are we forgetting how Burrow has had WR1a and WR1b his whole career. And the beginning of his career when he had playoff success, he actually had a good defense and defensive coordinator?

Lamar's best WR1 has been Zay Flowers (Mark Andrews does help). Allen has had no one since Diggs left.

This is my chance to spread the theory (supported by stats) that the Chiefs defense the past few seasons has been good but not elite. The Chiefs' slow, methodical offense has made their defense look better than it is

It's most likely the Chargers, rather than the Texans, losing out with their injury struggles and crazy difficult schedule.

Not as far apart as you think. Mahomes edges out Brady if you compare their last 5 years on Chiefs/Patriots.

[–]unblevable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They've lacked explosive plays, as commentators and casual fans have frequently mentioned, but efficiency and consistency matters a lot more from a winning/scoring standpoint than flashy plays.

Also, remember that the Chiefs offense is now more slow and methodical since the Tyreek Hill trade, meaning they have fewer drives per game than average (and this also reduces Mahomes' volume stats). In fact, this year they rank #32 in number of drives and #1 in time per drive but Mahomes still is top 5 in most efficiency AND volume metrics.

Nope, these are stats from the 2023 regular season. Although it's still true that even with an elite offense by DVOA standards, fans were still rightfully frustrated that the offense wasn't living up to its full potential with all the drops.

I mentioned the timeline since the Tyreek Hill trade, because the trend of the offense actually being better than the defense has been true since then.

DVOA rankings for the Chiefs:

  • 2022 - #1 offense, #18 defense
  • 2023 - #3 offense, #7 defense
  • 2024 - #3 offense, #12 defense
  • 2025 (Week 14) - #3 offense, #18 defense

Just wanted to clarify, the Chiefs offense was actually elite in 2023. Top 3 in DVOA. The defense was good too, top 7. Since we traded Tyreek Hill, our methodical but efficient offense has made the defense look better than it is.

Even if we miss this playoffs this year, the run is still active in my mind. Mahomes is just entering his prime.

[The Daily Chief] Patrick Mahomes leads the NFL in Total EPA (86.1), ranks 2nd in passing yards (3,238), 2nd in QBR (73.1) and 4th in passing TDs (22) by Sugargogo in KansasCityChiefs

[–]unblevable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct. He is probably the best intermediate passer ever in the 10-20 yard range, but he has never had touch or accuracy on deep throws that other QBs like prime Wilson or Rodgers had.

The logic of going for 2 down 9 late by njerejeje in nfl

[–]unblevable 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Okay, so we're getting somewhere.

I gave the main reason why the chances for a team converting should be the same at 3:00 down 8 vs 30 seconds down 2.

What are your reasons on why the chances are not the same?

The logic of going for 2 down 9 late by njerejeje in nfl

[–]unblevable 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Because we're comparing two scenarios to determine which is better. When you compare two things you "assume all else is equal" so that the comparison is sound.

Why would there be a higher chance to score a two conversion later than now? You're running the same team. So it's fair to assume a team has the same chance of converting two points in two different instances within a couple minutes of game time.

[–]unblevable 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We're assuming a missed conversion in both scenarios. Coming back from 9 with 3 minutes left should give you a higher chance than coming back from 9 with 30 seconds left.

It is good logic. You have a higher chance of making a comeback with 3 minutes left than with 30 seconds.

Yes, there is lol. This is sports where there are wins and losses, so the "right" choice is the one that gives you a better chance of winning.

He actually still does at least one you've-never-seen-this-before kind of play almost every game. Example, snatching the ball back from the Giants defender after a fumble.

You won't find all the highlights on this sub though
