Let’s see what we think this year

Joe Burrow finishes the year with a passer rating higher than Justin Herbert?
Number of games Jonah Williams plays?
Which player will be #2 in rushing yards?
Leading WR in yards?
Number of times Joe is sacked?
Number of WRs with 1,000+ yards?
Which player will have the most TDs?
TE with 2nd most catches?
Highest rated olineman according to PFF?
Which duo gets more sacks: (Hendrickson/Sample) or (Hubbard/Ossai)?
More snaps at LB between Evans, Davis-Gathers, Bailey?
Duo with more INTs: Safeties (Bell/ Bates) CBs (Waynes/Awuzie)?
Team Leader in PR yards?
Which (if any) UDFA makes the 54?
Non-QB Offensive MVP:
Defensive MVP:
ROY:
Breakout/Comeback Player:


Poll question: Do we finish the season with our current HC/OC/DC?

Figured the bye week and basically 1/2 season would be a good place to check in on this:

Joe currently has a passer rating 3.7 points higher than Justin

Jonah is on pace to place every game

Perine is 141 yards ahead of Evans, Burrow is actually closer to Perine

JC is 404 yards ahead of Higgins

JB is on pace to be sacked 47 times

Chase is already almost at 1000, but TB and TH are on pace for low 800s

Mixon is currently 2 TDs ahead of Chase

Sample has 5 catches no other 2nd TE has any

I need someone with pff to verify, but I think Spain has the highest rating

Cam and Trey lead 9.5 to 5

ADG is running away with this one

CBs and Safeties are tied with 1 INT. LBs have 5

Phillips is 104 PR yards ahead of Irwin

Darius Hodge made the 53

Mixon and Chase are battling for non-QB MVP with the nod currently going to Chase

Hendrickson and Awuzie appear to be battling for Defensive MVP

Chase is running away with ROY

Breakout: Wilson/Spain/Uzo/

Comeback: Joe B./Uzo/Reeder

Coaches all appear safe as we have a winning record

Spain is indeed the highest rated on the OL at 75.0. Jonah is close at 72.2 though. Btw you don’t need a PFF subscription to see their overall grades.

Defensive MVP is actually probably Reader, imo (highest graded player on the entire team), but Vonn Bell could enter the conversation with the way he’s been playing.

Chido and Hendrickson do play the more premier positions though.

Leading WR in yards? Chase - yep
Number of times Joe is sacked? 45 - close but off by 6
Number of WRs with 1,000+ yards? 2 - yep (unless Boyd goes off for 172)

TE with 2nd most catches? Sample - yep (a whopping 73 yds! )
Highest rated olineman according to PFF? Jonah - yep
Which duo gets more sacks: (Hendrickson/Sample) or (Hubbard/Ossai)? - Nope
More snaps at LB between Evans, Davis-Gathers, Bailey? - Yep
Duo with more INTs: Safeties (Bell/ Bates) CBs (Waynes/Awuzie)? Solely because of Bates. - Tied
Team Leader in PR yards? Phillips - yep but blech
Which (if any) UDFA makes the 54? Chrisman - Nope
Non-QB Offensive MVP: Chase - yep
Defensive MVP: Bates - big old nope.
ROY: Chase - yep
Breakout/Comeback Player: Breakout - Ogunjobi/Comeback- Burrow - Ogunjobi had a really nice season but I’d have to say Awuzie for breakout player. Burrow easily comeback player though.


Poll question: Do we finish the season with our current HC/OC/DC? Yes - yep

So one game left but since we’re not going to be playing a lot of our starters I wanted to see how i did…

Got a good deal of them right.

Poll question: Do we finish the season with our current HC/OC/DC?

As I prepare to do the 2022 version of the Prediction Poll I thought it'd be fun to look back at how we did last year.

1. If we'd been told Herbert would have a passer rating of 97.7 many would have said No and even fewer would have asserted Joe would top that by over 10 points

2. Before the season began if I said he'd play in 16 of 17 you'd take it and you'd damn sure take it if I told you he didn't play 17 because we were resting starters for a Super Bowl run

3. Most would/did pick Samajie

4. UNO was 1455

5. Dude was sacked 51 times in 16 regular season games and 19 times in the playoffs. So if you had 70 you were the winner

6. 2. Boyd was within 200 yards of making it 3

7. Mixon with sweet 16

8. If I told you Sample would only have 81 many would not have picked him as #2, but he was

9. Jonah with a respectable 77.1

10. If I told you Hendricks/Sample would win with 15.5 you'd most likely expect more than 1.5 from Cam

11. Bailey with 256. How many would have had Bachie over Davis?

12. Sadly this one was tied at 2 (Regular Season). Who woulda picked Logan Wilson to have as many as all 4 combined?

13. Darius Phillips at 177

14. Pooka Williams saw 8 snaps. All on STs

15. Hard to go against Chase

16. I'd go with Hendrickson but you could also consider: Bell, Wilson, Reader, Awuzie

17. Chase

18. Burrow

POLL: If I'd told you yes, you'd most likely believe me. If I'd told you you'd be happy about it, then not all of you would
