If you see that happening 2, 3, 4 times a game--which seems pretty reasonable, that's at most, 64 times in a year. Let's say you see it 5 times a game. That's 80 times in a 16 game schedule.
80 times out of 389 targets to WRs last year. That's a 20% clip of the total pass attempts to receivers.
Let's say you see it 8 times a game. 32% clip.
Let's say you see it 10 times a game. 41% clip.
So, if you see Bengals receivers struggling to get open 10 times every game, a pretty ridiculous number iyam, you're still only seeing it happen 41% of the time. Anything below 50% of the time and you can't realistically say they're "having trouble getting open".
Dude, by this logic an OL that allows a QB hit on 49% of pass plays doesn't have trouble pass blocking. A QB that completes 51% of his passes or a K that hits 51% of his kicks don't have accuracy issues.
The bar for good or bad performances by players is relative to the other players at the same position across the league and very rarely is that bar set at 50%.
