?wayne, Garcon Both To Gain 1,000?

[oldunclemark]

There is an ESPN show called 'Numbers never lie"

But I guess they do..

Arent both Reggie and Pierre on line to gain 1,000 yards in receptions barring injury..?<

I know that's only about 65 a game but we're on our 3rd QB...

I would never have guessed those numbers

At their current pace:

Reggie would finish with 943 yards

Pierre would finish with 1073 yards, which would be a career high. Well, actually he already has 805 yards and that's already a career high for him so no matter what he finishes with it will be a career high for him.

But at Orlovsky's 'current pace'...He'll lead the NFL in passing yards for the final 5 weeks????

[PatMcAfeeFan]

If Wayne has a couple games like the Carolina game I think he could go over 1000, but it wont be too far over. If Garcon has a few more like the Pats game he will be over by 100 or more.

[oldunclemark]

But everybody's production will be up in the era of 'O', right?

Danny O is our secret weapon...

We clearly must have been holding him back all season to spring him on the patriots, right coaches??

Baltimore is working day and night this week ..just trying to slow our O. B)

I know that Painter was looking to Garcon on almost every pass play if he could, so that stat isn't as surprising to me as the Reggie Wayne stat, but I wouldn't have expected either of these honestly.

[oldunclemark]

i would guess that receivers have gained 1,000 yards on winless teams before but not two on the same team, right?

No clue but all you gotta do is check the Detroit season, since they're the only team that has gone winless through an entire 16 game season in the modern era of free agency and salary cap.

there's been more than one winless team...Detroit didnt have two 1,000-yard recievrs

Who were the other 0-16 winless teams in the modern era of free agency and salary cap?

[oldunclemark]

What does the salary cap have to do with 1,000-yard seasons?

.In the modern era....(late 50s on) I'm old...

Detroit - 2008 (0-16)_

Tampa - 1976 (0-16)

Dallas - 1960 (0-11-1)_

Tampa went 0-14.

Tampa went 0-14.

The question is: Did they have a 1,000-yard receiver..and I cant find out..

[Superman]

The question is: Did they have a 1,000-yard receiver..and I cant find out..

I don't think that question is relevant in a 14 game season, certainly not as a comparison to a 16 game season. That's why Jason is making a distinction between that era and this era.

Sure its relevant.....if they did....

1,000-yarf rusher...1,000-yard receiver...

That's been the milestone for a leats a half century (dont ask me how I know)

I'm going to guess that winless teams before the 1950s (and I see now there were several) didnt even play 14 games and teams ran the ball 70-80% of the time in those days..

But certrainly if Garcon gains 1,000 (especially if he does it in 14 games) that would be notable, if only for the sake of irony considering who isnt playing,.

I just cant find stats from that far back..certainly not 1960...

And Superman to the rescue. Thank you Superman! lol

You could also say that a 1,000 yard season for a receiver really isn't what it used to be with the way rules are changing the game. I'm not in any way trying to diminish the accomplishments of Wayne and Garcon.

[Superman]

Sure its relevant.....if they did....

Yeah, if they did, that's notable. Doubt they did though. And I don't really care about such a dubious distinction, to be honest. Hope both of them pass that threshold, for their own sakes, but I'm still hoping we steal a win at some point.

With the way the game has changed, a 1,000 yard rusher is much more of an accomplishment than a 1,000 yard receiver. Case in point, through 12 games there are already 4 WRs and a TE with 1,000 yards receiving. If trends continue for all teams and Reggie is able to make it to 1,000 yards then there will be 25 WRs and TEs to reach 1,000 yards this season.

agreed..that's why the 5,000-yard passing barrier...isnt a big a deal now, IMO

still looking........but I dont think there were many 1,000 yard receivers PERIOD in the 1960s

[oldunclemark]

agreed..that's why the 5,000-yard passing barrier...isnt a big a deal now, IMO

still looking........there are more than I thought

Johnny Morris 94 catches. 1200 yards for the 1964 Bears (5-9)

Mike Ditka caught 75 for 897..that year

I also agree. It's just a matter of time before Marino's yardage record gets broken but breaking the record this time won't mean nearly as much or be nearly as impressive, imo, as when Marino did it. Especially considering how long that record has held up.

[supremecoltsfan300]

I dont think either of them will get over 1000 yards. Colts play some pretty solid defenses these last few weeks. I also dont think tjose yards are worth much because it didnt contribute to winning at all.

[Smitto]

with the way garcon is playing he definitely deserves another contract... the colts need another player like garcon, i say let wayne test the market... he's a great players but it would be pretty nice if the colts had another receiver opposite garcon who wasnt JUST a possession receiver.

[Andy]

Man would hate to see Reggie fall short of 1000....

[mammo]

how do these guys run play after play, hardly getting the ball, and losing every game, and keep the fitness and positivity up, aside from the millions they are paid.
