Lamar Jackson with the 3rd highest one game QBR since the stat began tracking in 2006.

Dak had an 87.5 QBR last night and is back to number one for the season moving ahead of Russell Wilson.
Should be the 4th highest, but ESPN refuses to acknowledge that their system bar one point said that a Charlie Batch 186 yard, no TD, 2 Int game was the best game ever at 99.9 rating. Stat is useless.

Yeah it’s worthless and seemingly only used to point out its own statistical curiousities. Did you know David Garrard’s 2007 season when he started 12 games and threw for 2,500 yards is the fourth best season of the QBR era?

Guts are a churnin' for tonight. Most likely finish: a close game. 2nd most likely: SF blowout, something like 44-13. Not sure Seattle can stop the SF offense, so it will have to be a shootout for Seattle to win. And if Russell pulls this one out, he'll deserve all the MVP talk people can say.
The SF offense is kinda smoke and mirrors and starting field position. Seattle has the coaching advantage too. Avoid turnovers and I like your chances.

Especially with Kittle out or limited. Of course, they’ve now had more time to integrate Sanders - who was pretty damn effective in his first game with the team already.

JG just a tad high with that pass. Goodwin could have caught that, but it would have been a great catch.
Good job by Jimmy to even give that play a chance - good pocket movement.

I don't have the data, but I do thing there is something too using the fullback more often. Minnesota lines up with a fullback more often than any other team in the NFL, and lo and behold they are second in the league in total rushing, behind Baltimore. Dallas doesn't use the fullback very much and while they still rank highly in total rushing, it seems like they really limit themselves by not using a fullback. I understand that modern offense minds don't like using a fullback because it limits their offensive personnel, but some teams should consider using it more often, especially in run-heavy downs.

This is similar to a related problem I have with teams doing so many run plays out of the shotgun, especially around the goal line.
I love you. I've been beating this drum for a couple years now. The really good running teams (outside of Baltimore, but that's a different situation) use an I Formation or an Offset I and have a lead blocker/fullback. This is why Todd Gurley looks like shit this year, and Zeke can't get going, but Dalvin Cook is lighting it up. San Fran uses a lot of 2RB sets, as does Denver...

This is why I said that the James Develin injury was going to be a big problem for the Pats. IMO, he was probably one of the 5 most important players in the playoff run last year, when they started using the power running game. I lose my shit every time I see a team run the ball out of the shotgun deep in their opponents territory.

That will be the story of the game. The flags on the Seahawks and the no calls on the 49ers. I mean the 49ers only scored on the first drive b/c of multiple penalties.

And the fact that Seattle is playing a lot of man and they don't do that well at all.

Wagner, Wright, Russel Wilson and Luke Willson - one of those things is not like the other.
