re: Which team worries you the most when it comes to playoffs?

Josh Reynolds is plug and play for kupp, May be even more of threat tbh

Just wanted to come back to this insanity.

Kupp in games in which he had a catch (only one played without a catch and that's when he went out very early):

7 games
40 catches
566 yards
14.2 ypc
6 TDs

Reynolds in games in which he had a catch (all but one in which Kupp was out or mostly out):

10 games
29 catches
402 yards
13.9 ypc
5 TDs

In 3 less games Kupp has better numbers across the board.

Kupp per game:
5.7 catches
80.8 yards
0.86 TDs

Reynolds per games:
2.9 cathes
40.2 yards
0.5 TDs

Kupp doubles him in catches and yards per game. That's a significant drop off and it has shown in their games.

And this is being kind to Reynolds. If we did it by total games played "8" for Kupp to 16 for Reynolds) it becomes a gulf. I did it this way to be more fair in comparison.

On a per snap basis it would also be worse for Reynolds, as Kupp had 439 to Reynolds 541 + whatever he played today.

I think our defense would bottle their O up honestly.

if we stifled their running attack and made Mitch beat us then we'd be in business.

but the Bears have the best D-line in the league to me.

our old friend Hicks and Ed Goldman in the middle.

Mack and Floyd bringing heat from the outside.

our O-line's health concerns are something you cant ignore.

hopefully i'm worrying for nothing

i'm jacked for the playoffs on one hand yet still feel the chill from what happened at the end of last year.

it's a big mystery what will happen in these games.

the game(s) could go totally opposite from what we think may happen.

seattle does not scare me.

I think Russ Wilson is great but I think the rankings speak for themselves.

Rams and Bears are who we should worry about.

I think we'd kick the shite out of Dally in a rematch at the Dome.

we played our worst game offensively all year against them and still only lost by 3. Dally can be had.

they are fools gold.

What it seems like you are saying is Reynolds can replace Kupp's role and production from that comment.

Now you claim something else, and even if that's true he definitely doesn't come close to needing to be accounted for as much as Kupp (although you also said Reynolds is maybe more of a threat, which I proved is laughable), and they have been missing a beat without Kupp.

And I've watched several of their games and Reynolds is basically our Keith Kirkwood. He'll make a good play every few games, but he isn't drawing more than one defender.

So saying he needs to be "accounted for" is pointless. Every player needs to be accounted for. You can't leave anyone running open. He draws zero doubles (unless running from one zone to another with no other players around).

And the fact remains he only has half the production Kupp has on a per game basis (being generous to Reynolds).

Chicago scares me the most
That defense is nasty

I think everyone here wouldn't be mad if Philly takes them out.
Also rams are missing kupp and Reynolds isn't on his level but the rams offense has been figured out some also

Well you seem to really care about the teams, same ones that held Gurley to 15/63 and 19/42?

Gurley 33/105
Anderson 43/299

Yada Yada Yada

Watch the games baw

The first Cards game was the second game of the year, the Rams won 34-0, and Brown had 12 carries for 46 yards in mop up duty.

Gurley did have a terrible ypc that game (2.2), but he also was going against a fresh Dline early in the season and early in that game. He didn't get a chance to keep running as that defense wore out towards the end.

The first 9ers game was 39-10 and again Brown had mop up duty with 13 carries for 65 yards. And Gurley had a pretty good 4.2 ypc going before being pulled.

Maybe take your own advice and watch the games baw.

What Anderson did was run out the games against two of the worst teams in the league who were far out of the playoffs at that point.

And this is a fresh Anderson going against exhausted Dlines at the end of the year. Dude barely had any tread run off this year.

Dude had 24 carries and 1 catch in 54 snaps over 9 games (highest being 12 snaps), and he had just come off a 1,000 yard season. Dude was hungry and fresh, but he's still no Gurley.

Love the well thought out rebuttal.

Seattle.

The Saints are the only team that can beat the Saints.
