  • running the football(on traditional handoffs) in the nfl is so bad/harm

    From michael anderson@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 15 20:15:03 2023
    Because of these holding calls......

    That holding call on an outside run pretty much ended the game for the ravens.

    Not saying it was a bad call or anything, but the fact that those holding calls are called so often on such running plays is another great reason.......not to run the damn football.

    As if teams needed any more reason in today's nfl.

    Yes, because look at how passing rather than running helped the Seahawks win Super Bowl XLIX. Wait a minute...

    yes, passing did help them almost win that game.

    Wilson averaged a sterling 11.8 *yards per attempt*, which is almost 3 times as much as traditional handoffs to Lynch produced.

    Convert some of Lynch's 24 mostly non-productive carries into more wilson passes(and runs by wilson), and it's likely that game is not even close in the
    last few minutes.

    So I definately agree that passing rather than running helped the seahawks a ton in that game. Unfortunately they didn't do it enough.

    Not all QB's are Marshawn Lynch.

    And you have to remember who the opposing QB was -- the man who has been the rigged definition of the NFL since 9/11.
