chad72 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Cowboys stink, flat out stink and I am loving it.Cowboys have 3 easy games coming up, huh, Jerry?Shanahan pulled a 180 after the bye week. They were going into the bye week with 2 losses and team morale was low.Then, after the bye week, they are playing much better pass D even without Orakpo and Kerrigan. Yep, having Garcon back to help out RG3 does not hurt either. It does not matter how many times RG3 throws but he makes it count against a Cowboys pass D that was ranked pretty well, that is what I am gathering.This Redskins team is impressive and will be a tough out in games moving forward. They do have a bright future, IMO.The NFL is a week to week game basically. It does not matter what your record is coming into a game, how your O or D have done prior to that game. You have to respect your opponent and I almost feel like the Cowboys were playing on snooze there.28-3 at the half, too much thanksgiving food in their bellies, huh, boys'?

JWF Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Griffin is on fire here recently. That throw to Moss in the endzone was ridiculously good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fx Stryker Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 A perfect passer rating in the last 6 quarters. Sheesh. I wonder if he'll be the first to go back-to-back games with a perfect rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stat2883 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 receivers are making some tough catches in tight coverage -- props to Griff too though for fitting them in tight windows. WRs certainly playing better the last couple games than before - not nearly as many drops.2 straight solid showings by the defense too -- they were awful for a while there.

I wonder if he'll be the first to go back-to-back games with a perfect rating.He needs one more attempt to make this game "count", but if he were to have 158.3 ratings in back to back games it would be the first time in NFL history.

Chad Pennington had one where he had 14 attempts and wasn't given "full credit".Either way he's 13/16 at this point so if he gets it, then it will be official.

That is if my memory serves me right.Not that it is a leading source, but wikipedia has it listed as 10 so maybe I'm wrong. It has the Pennington & Eli game with 10 attempts listed. Pennington was the only QB to lose with a perfect rating... I thought I remembered some analyst making a comment that the attempts needed was 15.http://www.pro-footb...single_game.htmProfootball reference has Griffin's & Pennington's listed but not Eli's.

T Y Goodbye Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Here's the rule to qualify for a perfect passer rating..To qualify, a QB must attempt at least 10 passes, have zero interceptions, and have a minimum of a 77.5% completion percentage, 11.875% touchdown passes percentage, and 12.5 yards per attempt.The lowest completion was Eli on Oct 10th, 2009...8-10 for 173 yards and 2 TD's (he left that game before halftime, but is still credited with a perfect passer rating.The highest amount of completions was Ken O'Brien Nov 2nd 1986 26-32 for 431 yards and 4 TD'sPeyton has the most total with 4...Roethlisberger is the only player in history to have 2 in one season..Here are some statistics about perfect passer ratings historyOnly two quarterbacks have accomplished a perfect passer rating with 30-or-more attempts. Ken O'Brien threw 26-for-32 in his perfect game for a completion rate of 81%, while Kurt Warner threw 24-for-30 in his perfect game for a completion rate of 80%. Craig Morton holds the record for completion rate in a perfect game, throwing 17-for-18 for 94.4% in his 1981 perfect game.Only two quarterbacks have accomplished a perfect passer rating with six touchdowns thrown. Peyton Manning was the first to achieve the record on 28 Sept 2003 against the New Orleans Saints, while Tom Brady matched the feat on 21 Oct 2007 against the Miami Dolphins. Thirteen quarterbacks have accomplished a perfect game with only two touchdowns thrown. It is impossible to achieve a perfect game with only one touchdown because of the 10 passing attempt minimum to qualify, combined with the minimum 11.875% touchdown-to-attempted-pass ratio.Only one quarterback has accomplished a perfect passer rating with more than 400 passing yards. Ken O'Brien threw for 431 yards on 2 Nov 1986 against the Seattle Seahawks. Only three quarterbacks have accomplished a perfect game with fewer than 150 passing yards. Scott Hunter threw for 138 yards on 31 Oct 1976 against the New Orleans Saints, Drew Bledsoe threw for 143 yards on 26 Dec 1993 against the Indianapolis Colts, and Rich Gannon threw for 146 yards on 15 Oct 1992 against the Detroit Lions.Only two quarterbacks have accomplished a perfect passer rating in their rookie season. Drew Bledsoe of the New England Patriots accomplished this against the Indianapolis Colts on December 26, 1993 and Robert Griffin III of the Washington Redskins accomplished this against the Philadelphia Eagles on November 18, 2012.

SteelCityColt Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Passer rating aside he's had a pretty good game to say the least, the MVP talk might start again on his last two showings. Beasley has looked good for the Cowboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Y Goodbye Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I've searched and searched..I find many of the exact same articles saying 20 completions, but I can't find any factual basis or hard-fast evidence that it is 10, 15, or 20..I'm going to just say..He had an exception game, that was truly amazing...His team won, and won big, and he had a perfect passer rating for that game, no matter what the no fun league says or not...and he's having another great game today...So I guess is toe-may-toe or ta-ma-toe...I just give the guy credit for an awesome game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelCityColt Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 The Skins running game has been excellent again today again, not a bad thing to have when you've got a rookie QB. When you factor in that it's a 6th round rookie at RB it's impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo34 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Ok, I know that RGIII played like a beast and helped the Skins light it up, but what matters more is that America's Bandwagon....er Team, the Cowboys, lost. Which means that instead of another week of "Are the Cowboys playoff contenders and we should all love Romo" on ESPN, we'll go back to day by day coverage of "Trouble brewing in Big D"Dallas's light schedule doesn't look that much light anymore....they still need to go face the 'Skins in their house, they have the resurgent Saints, and the Bengals/Steelers could present trouble as well.
