“RIVER” (RAS) PRESENTS: Purdy for MVP? Some insane stats.

    The most insane Brock Purdy stat: if you take out all of his throws *beyond* the line of scrimmage, he’d still lead the NFL in yards per attempt and EPA/dropback. He’s averaging 8.8 yards per attempt and 0.38 EPA on throws of 0 air yards or less. Another insane state: the 49ers have been at…

    Injuries and officiating have become the twin whipping boys of the 2023 NFL season.  If one’s not ruining your football experience, the other likely is. All of the AFC North’s Week 13 games were affected, at times heavily, by injuries and officiating. Could be worse, I suppose.  It could be Florida State. Anyway, here’s what…

    Gotta love Division Weeks. They tend to create more…division…among NFL playoff hopefuls, and they often define the essence of teams – who knows each other’s tendencies better than an overanalyzed rival you face a minimum of twice per year? Last week’s AFC North familiar tilts were certainly interesting, if not very entertaining at times.  There’s…
