It's insane to see a QB rating change that much 11 games into a season.

It was a rough game. But I always measure QBs (or any players) by how many games they're good vs. bad. A team will almost always lose with 2 or 3 INTs, 5 doesn't move the needle much.

As long as your QB is having 12 to 13 good games in a year, you'll be doing great. You hope the bad games are more like 60 passer rating instead of tons of turnovers, but still.

We are just sloppy enough and good enough to keep pulling out wins. There is some luck but in reality there is a lot of skill and bad coaching on the other side. Luck doesn't exist.

Luke doesn't exist? How does one explain a ball that bounces in a teams favor one time and against the team the next?

Luke gets blamed for everything, poor guy.

Saw this over on ESPN in the comments sections of one of the articles.

Quote:Looking at Matt's stats so far this season, it's amazing to see how much worse he has played against teams coming off a bye. In 3 games against teams coming off a bye (Oakland, Philadelphia, Arizona), Matt's stat line looks like this:

74/115, 812 Yards, 4 TDs, 8 INTs, 67.7 Rating

Compare that to games against teams not coming off a bye:

194/285, 2260 Yards, 16 TDs, 4 INTs, 104.7 Rating

The numbers are even more skewed when you consider Atlanta was coming off a bye as well against Philadelphia. If you remove that game and only consider Oakland and Arizona, Matt's stat line is

52/86, 550 Yards, 1 TD, 8 INTs, 44.2 Rating.

So Matt has had 2 bad games this season, and both opponents were coming off a bye and had an extra week to prepare.

Luke uses the force anyway. That ball goes wherever he wants it to go.

That's the problem - he should be using the Schwartz instead.
