GBU: Fried Seachicken Tastes Good

[Iron Lion]

To paraphrase a Seahawks fan,

It all worked together for a nice shit sandwich, and we ate the whole thing down to the last crumb.

[Mainevent]

As I understand it, it's the Jimmy Graham rule. He tried dunking on the goal post and screwed it up, delaying the game for awhile.

Yep, i thought it was something like that but couldn’t remember who it happened to.

[Mainevent]

I will say this, the black uniforms looked a lot better on the field than in the promos. Points to Froot on that.

ALLOWING 500+ YARDS
How did Dan not get Goff a game ball, some statistics staffer is getting canned today.

[ghandi]

He gave JaMo a game ball for 2 catches but not Goff for 18-18?

[foxhopper]

I doubt Goff gives a shit about a game ball...

I didn’t get Seattle’s decision to go for 2 with 3 minutes to go in the 3rd? Was it just to get within 2 FGs? Seemed early to me

I wasn’t fan of the black lion decal on the helmets. Just kind of looked like a blob.

Montgomery only had 80 all purpose yards, 40 yards rushing 40 yard receiving, but it seemed like so much more

CGVT and family (and friends) were all really nice

The go for 2 thing when down 14 started a couple of years ago....but isnt the success rate of 2 point conversions only like in the low 40% range? Id rather pull within 7 and if need be go for 2 to win the game later....Id also say it depends on whom you are playing...Scoring from the 2 is easier against some teams than others.

So cool that you were able to catch up!!

Dan Campbell's press conference today.

He mentions how he always gives a couple more game balls the day after and he basically fixed his mistake by getting one to Goff.

If you listen to nothing else, you really should listen to the last 2min, starting at 12min where Dan humorously describes why he hates baseball:

[mason reese]

I forgot the other weird stat from the night. Amon St Brown had a higher QBR, but a lower QB Rating than Goff

JaMo was literally everywhere when they needed him to be. He actually was on the field for more snaps than St. Brown last night. He was out there doing all the little things that Campbell loves to see, and both his catches were big ones. The first as I recall got a big first down on their first TD drive, and his second was that 70-yard score that pushed it back to a two-score game.

Two point conversion rate is hovering somewhere around the high 40's, iirc. It's a bit of wonky game theory, but having the possibility of winning outright at the end of the game is a big deal to some coaches.

[froot loops]

Has anybody ever seen a team up seven for.for.the 2 point conversion? It seems like making a the difference between a 2 score game and an 8 point game is huge.

I guess I could see some games when 2 drives stall out and end with FGs seem more likely than a TD drive…but last night was not one of those games
