Moderator Re: BIG PLAYS OF 30+ YARDS POST #2 KC has only given up ONE 30+ yd TD, compared to our 7. Yikes is right. They haven't played the Saints or Packers, but have the Chargers. So we have possibly faced better and more, big-play teams - if there is any solace in that. by Hacksaw 5 years 4 months ago Total posts: 24523 Joined: Apr 15 2015 AT THE BEACH Moderator BIG PLAYS OF 30+ YARDS POST #3 Peters comes to mind.

GO LAKERS !!!THE GREATEST SHOW ON TURF,, WAS by /zn/ 5 years 4 months ago Total posts: 6758 Joined: Jun 28 2015 Maine Hall of Fame BIG PLAYS OF 30+ YARDS POST #4 Just some random scattered thoughts. Plays of 30+ yards are not common because obviouosly they are harder to achieve. But when they do occur, they can dramatically switch momentum and reverse the field. That's why defenses work to avoid them and offenses that are good at producing such plays cultivate them. Just staying on the offensive side of it, I've looked at those numbers over the years just on passing plays, and teams that make them a fairly regular part of their offense do it on around 5% or more of total attempts. You don't need them but if you're good at them, they have value. Some examples of different qbs. (These are not quite up to date because espn splits are usually a week behind.) Attempts of 31+ yards. Ranked by percentage of total attempts. On this stat, any completion percentage of 25% is decent, 33% is good, 50% or better is superlative .Rivers, 6.5% of attempts, 50% completionsRoethlisberger, 5.9% of attempts, 15% completionsMahomes: 5.2% of attempts, 33% completionsBrady: 4% of attempts, 20% completionsGoff, 3.7% of attempts, 36% completionsWilson, 3.6% of attempts, 55% completionsBrees: 1.7% of attempts, 20% completionsBrees proves you don't need it. Rivers proves it's nice if you can do it and worth the risk. by snackdaddy 5 years 4 months ago Total posts: 9631 Joined: May 30 2015 Merced California Hall of Fame Re: BIG PLAYS OF 30+ YARDS POST #5 I wonder how many of those are yards after catch? Not to mention the running game's yards after first contact. Seems like our defense does not tackle well. Especially the secondary. Hill was terrible on a few plays.
