Huh? They gained 142 yards last night at 4.2 yds a carry. I wouldn't call that "awful, just awful".
what?
It was a great running performance.And a fantasy nightmare.
Very weird take here. The 2 primary ball carriers ran for 6.1 and 5.1 YPC, respectively. Pittman had just 1.9 YPC, but on 7 carries that stat is sandbagged by 3 and 1 yard TDs, where distance is not his fault. Cutler had a 1.8 YPC, and I wouldn't even figure that into the equation. Come to think of it, I am not clear how a QB even averages 1.8 on 5 carries with a long run of 11 yards when behind the line should be a sack.
11 yard scramble1 yard scramble3 kneels for -1 yards each= 5 carries for 9 yards. = 1.8 ypc

I had forgotten those count as runs... stupid rule. So in reality he had 2 carries for a 5.5 average. Excluding the 3 kneels and the 1 yard TD [4 carries accounting for -2 yards] the real rushing stat would be 30 carries for 144 yards [4.8 YPC].
I love it all the more considering I avoided their RB's in every single league. Looks like you need 3 roster spots for mediocre numbers...BigRed said:
I wish I had been that smart. When Selvin fell and fell and fell, I fell into thinking I was getting a value pick.
Sometimes I wonder if you're posting while you're half asleep too. Long runs are not the only mark of a good running offense. 140 yds with a pretty decent YPC are what help teams control TOP and control the tempo of the game and keep their defense off the field. Calling that "awful" just makes 0 sense from any angle you try to spin it.Seriously, why can't you ever admit you misspoke or made an error in evaluating a situation? It's ok to say "yeah, not sure what I was thinking, those are pretty decent #'s". It's ok to be wrong and man up to it. You might be taken a bit more seriously if you do that from time to time.I guess that's what I was focusing on... the guys looked like they couldn't break away form the D... they'd get 3-4 yards, and then swarmed under.hofer said:

I thought the fact I made an error in evaluating the situation was rather self evident by the numerous posts in response to mine. I explained why I thought that, that's all.
It WAS self evident by the numerous posts in response to yours. Your admitting to being wrong WASN'T self evident. Your "explanation" looked more like a justification for how you could still be right. But, getting off topic here and not really that important to keep debating you personally. Let's get back to the Denver RB's.Sometimes I wonder if you're posting while you're half asleep too.

maybe football-wise, but that was between 3-4 backs.coolice said:
