Fun Fact about Detroit O-line

[suh]

Was just browsing through QB stats today and noticed that Stafford was one of only two starting QBs that was not sacked in game one. Lets see if they can continue their dominance at pass blocking.

That new QBR they have or experimenting with uses that, no sacks, into the equation. I think they said he had the 4th best rating, the old rating, and 3rd best QBR. This was before Mondays games and also before Sunday night I believe.

The total QBR sounds flawed if they're only taking extra stats into account and not factors that lead to that stat. Some qb's are partly responsible for sacks while others are a result of things like the blindside tackle getting beat like a drum.......... Not the qb's fault.

Like the Romo play when he didn't cover up the ball near the goal line. He should have a bigger deductible because it wasn't smart; he should have protected the ball instead of extending.

romo's QBR in the 4th quarter was 10....so yeah, it took that into account.

Yeah Romo sucks

To be fair, they only really had to pass block for one half.

9 pass attempts in the 2nd half

Now that the games over and we won I'm glad they ran a lot. Maybe they got better at it.

best looked really good but got blown up a few times in the backfield. if not for those, he would have been around 5 yards per carry.
