Its not the same people who suck season in and season out, its streaky. Look at CJ's numbers. The problem was always there the difference is now it's affecting Rors and BigAT.

Uh...what? Do you not see that the highest percentage for the first two years (3.5%) wouldn't even qualify in the top 13 of this season? How can you say the problem was always there when the rates have nearly tripled?

Keep in mind that the carry ratings for the top 3 guys on that list are 99, 96, 96.

My personal theory is that turnovers of all kinda are up this season as a result of drafting an xp.

I'll run some numbers on ints later.

That doesn't mean some other HB wasnt putting up insane fumble numbers tho. For instance CJ has 0 fumbles this year, he had about 7 at this point last season.

Mr. Smith let me know when you want to play our game.

I'm out of the city for the weekend--I'll be back late Sunday night. If we set a time during Monday I'll bail from work to come take my loss.

Just don't hurt anymore of my dudes, it's been a rough season so far

Good game Sokabro. It was a good defensive game. My offense wasn't there (as usual) so I had to get lucky with my TAINTs. Penis Dorsey is money. I also love Kerrigan and Orakpo.

I need to get going with RGIII. I thought my receiver was gonna cut rather than stop right behind two dbacks. 7/16 with 1 td and 2 ints. Damn.

GG, I just don't get it man my guys were NEVER open the whole game except that one play with the blown coverage on Harvin. Every other time they were just stuck on my guys and then when I threw back to back TAINTS I pretty much gave up on running

Jay Cutler 500 att 28 INT 5.6%
Alex Smith 438 att 21 INT 4.8%
Peyton Manning 485 att 23 INT 4.7%

There are 19 players (not counting the SSS guys) over 10% INTs this season as opposed to 7 for the past 2 season combined. Now I obviously missed a few guys (Sanchez, Warner, Skelton, Palmer, Hagood) but it looks like INTs are happening at a much higher rate this season than the past two seasons.

The question is, is this just a SSS aberration that will work itself over the course of the season, or are people throwing picks at an even more alarming rate than they have been the past 2 seasons?

I think it's just a small sample size. I mean, I throw picks a lot (obviously) but the GCQ and Levi game, I threw way too many picks. I don't think I'll throw nearly as much as I did in that game for the rest of the season.

I've been throwing a lot of picks the last two seasons as I give no fucks since I can't even run the ball. I just YOLO all day every day. Throwing means the possibility of a fumble/int. Running is a guaranteed fumble.

Bu-bu-but defense is at SUCH a disadvantage. As we make forcing fumbles harder and show exorbitant INT rates.

Almost every INT I throw and every INT I get is from a throw that shouldn't have been made.

4 out of 5 picks I throw are from pass lead throws that I missed on (i.e., tried to throw outside and up, when I should've throw it underneath and short).

Last season and the season before didn't AT and I force and recover fumbles at some cruelly low rate. Sample sizes remain too small.
 
I'm not against either rule change, I just don't think it should have been done mid-season so hastily without really voting for it

intangibles, motherfucker
As Joe schmoe I don't really mind that it happened.

As a former commissioner, I wouldn't have let it go down without a vote.

But those aren't my troubles anymore!

Someone should total up the fumble percentage versus total number of carries, and then do the same with INTs and pass attempts.
 

Rorschach

Contradictory.

It's not. I'm throwing INTs I shouldn't. What part of YOLO don't you understand? And, as I mentioned before, I need to just abandon the hope of throwing an over the shoulder throw on a corner that's beat. Nothing is gonna fix Y. You can't ban it either because you can't tell who's using it and who isn't most of the time.

I just took a shot out of a Gerber container. I can't tell if this is a high or a low.


[edit] False alarm. It was a SPEGA container. Turns out that's some sort of yogurt.

My % would be lower if not for season 1. I have mellowed out lol

That doesn't mean some other HB wasnt putting up insane fumble numbers tho. For instance CJ has 0 fumbles this year, he had about 7 at this point last season.

Uh...what? Even Chris Johnon's "insane" fumble percentage from last year would only be 10th on the current list. His prior year (1.7%) wouldn't. Like I said, even CJ's last two year percentage (3.4%) wouldn't appear on the current list.

What does high interception numbers have to do with anything? Is the argument "we can't solve everything so lets solve nothing?" Fucking loser talk.
