THOUGHTS

Stats above back up what we saw in week one. Passing game was rusty and needs to improve but the protections look good so it should do so. That should also lead to improved third down conversion rate as well as better redzone production.

Points allowed looks great. Sack percentage isn't an ideal stat (wish I could find a trustworthy pressures stat which is far more indicative of what to expect going forward) and this first week had an opposing team that was dishing the ball extremely quickly to beat the rush so it's hard to draw much from it. Overall the defensive numbers are a bit skewed but bottom line is our defense still has to demonstrate it can consistently get itself off the field. Raiders IMO extended too many drives early on.

Nice win but, not great stats. The three INTs really helped. The sacks look like 1 in 34 passing attempts. That's not bad and Goff had time on that one sack. He wasn't pressured much but without Mack Raiders have little pass rush.

Red zone and third down were weak. Considering they didn't play all preseason it was a good start for the offense in the second half. Three times they had first and goal just inside the 10 yardline. We will need 3-4 games to get a read on the stats.

I think we'll jump ahead in a few statistical categories after this week...... :mrburnsevil:
