I don't think I agree that teams should be passing MUCH more as Seth Walder said, but the counter to what Ian is saying here is surely just "yeah, and at that point the numbers would shift and 'the analytics' would call for more runs."
Building off this, if teams started throwing 80+ % of the time, defensive personnel and player archetypes would shift. Along with defensive playcalling.
And you’d see EPA for runs go up and passes go down.
Its much more complex than the raw numbers that exist.

Seth's premise (I think) that teams should be passing much more is not that they should be passing much more forever, it's that they should be passing much more now.

This was cool by Grover Stewart.
1. Excellent get off. Think he's the first Colts player to move after the snap.
2. Immediately flips over to the other side of the LS.
3. Arm right in the kicking path

"What if we gave John Madden Nicolas Cage's accent?"
A movie exec somewhere, apparently.
And football commentary was never the same. #MaddenMovie. November 18.

A 2027 2nd should be a no-brainer for the Ravens (assuming an extension as part of the trade)
The 49ers, Broncos, Browns, Eagles, Giants, and Ravens are among the teams to inquire about trading for Quenton Nelson.
The Colts won’t be able to obtain a 2027 1st for Nelson, but a 2nd-round pick certainly seems feasible.

Zay Flowers is on pace to break the Ravens' single season receiving yards record by 260 yards despite missing time and his starting QB missing three games already

Burrow is off to the best start of his career PFF grade wise (h/t to @JoeGoodberry for calling this out a couple of weeks back) when he’s normally a slow starter.
Now hits the stretch where he’s at his best with a favourable schedule.
I think he’s going to be the MVP.

The reaction to this in real time was insane but I can't believe that there are still people that think the Ravens should have kicked the FG this morning.
They were not in any circumstance winning that game by kicking the FG.
They lost 35-13 and Joe Burrow led 5-straight TD drives. Going for it was ABSOLUTELY THE RIGHT call by Jesse Minter lol.

Knew what play this would be before it started running. First time I've seen a defensive player overcut a route 😂

The only QB who has had their best game of the season against the Ravens defense this season has been Joe Burrow.
The ravens defence have made every QB/WR have their best performance. It’s not just this year too. Last 3 years every QB irrespective of talent levels is looking great.
Thats what happens to bad defences

Plenty of questions for the Ravens’ D yeah but there’s also an element of the fact that they went up against a QB playing at an MVP level who just tore them apart in the 2H.
Tackle better and they might have lost by 10 not 22.
They weren’t winning that game with 13/16 points.

And there have been some absolute classics when they have both played. Sucks that there’s a strong chance we don’t get it this week
Since Joe Burrow entered the league, the Bengals and Ravens have played each other 13 times.
In 8 of those games, Joe and Lamar Jackson played and finished the game.
In 5 other games, one of them got hurt or missed the game entirely and we're on the verge of it being 6 games.
