Low scoring season (1 Viewer)

Second week in a row with some really low scores. QBs in particular. What gives? Is this a sign of things to come or just a small sample size?

It seems like very few teams are able to run the ball effectively, and that's affecting everything else.

The NFL goes in cycles. The defense is catching up to all the rule changes of the last decade.

Whole lot of bad O-lines out there and O-line injuries playing a factor I think. Look at the teams that are playing poorly on offense so far, and there's a pretty good chance that their O-line is bad.

Unless you are playing the Saints.

This is pretty incredible:

Through 2 weeks in 2016 (before the byes), the average scoring total in my main league was 117. Through the whole season, the average score was 112.

Through 2 weeks this year (minus tonight's MNF game), the average scoring total in my main league is 97.

Scoring is down, bad execution of NFL football is way up. Coaching incompetence is on the rise.

Some would argue the Bills have one of the top-10 O-lines in the NFL...

For what it's worth, scoring in my league down about 5 points a game (from 93 to 88)

Anyone that makes that argument is crazy. Jordan Mills has been a turnstile, Miller has been a disaster in the new some blocking scheme, and Glenn has been subpar for the 25% of plays he manages to be on the field for.

And yes, I know PFF said that Mills did not give up a single pressure in Week 1. Whoever did their grading for that game must have been high. Ridiculous.

Defenses are getting away with pass interference on virtually every play.

Worst football that I have seen in my adult life....going the same way as the NBA...lack of discipline and execution...
