Through 13 Weeks a Stat Review

[DenverChief]

Through 13 weeks since Mahomes has been a starter. What is interesting to me is that I didn't remember we were 11-1 thru 13 weeks in 2020. Mahomes has had 11 INT thru 13 weeks the previous 2 years and his production numbers are slightly down not surprisingly because he has been sacked more this year than any other year by 8 sacks. The defense is actually still performing at a high level, even though we think they are "collapsing" and giving up big plays when in reality we are on pace for the same yards and points given up as last year, the biggest difference is we aren't generating turnovers. I'll be interested to see the difference in sacks allowed and sacks/TO's generated change with Humpries taking over at LT and Omenihu coming back into the fold on D.

Seems double digit INT's are rather the norm for our boy, not the exception. Interesting.

He still has one of the lowest INT rates in NFL history, at least among relevant QBs with a lot of starts. That's not exactly trending in the right direction, but he's had a ton of unlucky picks the last few years.

That’s the gunslinger mentality, although there are times I would love for him to be more aggressive.

[RaidersOftheCellar]

Interesting that the defensive numbers are so similar to last year's. Obviously not trending in the right direction though.

It feels that way. But the stats aren’t bearing that out. The Bills game was the anomaly. But minus the Bills game we consistently have been holding opponents under 27 PPG. The biggest problem is not generating TO’s. The offensive numbers are the most troubling because of the sacks.

Even in college he was known to YOLO plays. Due to that the chance of higher INT numbers will be there. It’s worth it though as his great plays far outweigh his negatives ones.

[Gary Cooper]

You can't blow opponents out if you don't force turnovers. This defense doesn't force many. Even last year they were shutting teams down but they weren't forcing many fumbles or INTs.

The blowouts you normally see in football occur when one particular team keeps turning it over with INTs, fumbles deep in their territory, pick sixes, etc. We don't force many turnovers hence our games are typically closer.

Is it because of Spags' reliance on man-to-man?

Those numbers wont get it done. Fix LT and evrything else becomes manageable.

We also pass alot.

[RINGLEADER]

Fix LT and this offense will be fine.

Yep, those stats are screaming fix the OL. hopefully Humphries gets that done and we can find help this offseason

[Megatron96]

10-15 INTs/season isn't a big deal, so long as your QB is also throwing 25+ TDs/season. I don't mind Pat throwing double-digit INTs, but I am concerned about the lack of scoring.

I think that is directly attributable to the OL problems.
