387 Floating green across the board
From "13:47" in the first week to "57:21" in the next week, the Green Bay Packers embarked on the journey of the 2008 season with an absolutely strong and shining attitude.
The highly anticipated quarterback Aaron Rodgers is not the absolute protagonist of this game, but the offensive system of passing and running balance makes the entire league feel the powerful control ability of the young quarterback, and his performance is perfect:
27 passes made 20, 333 yards, three passes for touchdowns, no interceptions, quarterback scored 151.25, and PFF scored 1.9.
After each NFL game is over, the data statistics agency will release relevant data as soon as possible, including performance data of different team groups. Among them, there are two most authoritative and most eye-catching data:
One is the quarterback score and the other is the PFF score.
First of all, the quarterback score is the official score of the league. As the name suggests, this is a score specifically for quarterbacks, and the evaluation targets include the NCAA, NFL and the CFL of Canada.
They will comply with a fixed professional equation to calculate the final score based on direct related data such as passing attempts, passing success, passing yards, touchdowns, interceptions, etc. Since 1973, this has been the most important and authoritative quarterback reference data in the league.
The quarterback score is a special equation, and the score fluctuation range is "0-158.3". In other words, the full score should be 158:3.
Generally speaking, the average season rating is between 90 and 110 points, which is the top quarterback. Among the average ratings of the league's regular season quarterbacks, the single-season record holder is Payton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts, with 121.1 points in 2004.
In addition, in a specific game, the quarterback performed exceptionally well, the data was all over the line, and the quarterback scored incredibly high scores, or even full scores, which is very normal.
Overall, as long as the quarterback scores more than 120 points in a single game, it can be considered that this quarterback has already ranked among the top in this game.
The second is PFF rating. The full name of PFF is Pro-Football-Focus, a professional scoring agency. They hire a large number of data statistics and expert personnel, and watch every game. Based on the players' offensive performance and statistics, the final score is obtained.
The basis of rating is data, but expert opinions will also participate.
The PFF score is quite special. The lowest score is "-2", that is, two points in negative; the highest score is "2", corresponding to two points. One point higher than one point, the score is green, which means outstanding performance; one point lower than one point, the score is red, which means poor performance; the interval between the two scores, including zero points, and the score is black, which means moderate performance, but not loss.
Corresponding to the quarterback score, the PFF score will evaluate every player on the court. Even if they only appear on the bench and attack, they will also provide corresponding scores, not only as public reference data, but also for professional commentators and team coaches.
PFF score is a data that all professional commentary analysts, senior fans, and even coaching staff must refer to, because the numbers do not lie. These numbers can intuitively reflect the performance of players, the offensive team, the defensive team, and all the players who appear in the secret service team are included.
From the PFF score, we can see that in addition to the safety guard part, Green Bay Packers have been green all over the line and performed exceptionally well. Even the safety guards are only black and there is no red. This shows the dominance shown by the visiting team in the game against the Detroit Lions.
Among them, Rodgers performed particularly well, with the quarterback scores and PFF scores infinitely close to full scores, which also won him the honor of being the best offensive player in the week for the National League!
This undoubtedly fell below countless people's glasses, not only because of the two consecutive victories, but also because of the way to win the game in two games, which is really eye-catching.
After the offseason chaos, before the 2008 season was unveiled, the Green Bay Packers were a team that was ignored or even despised, and the chaos and blindness of the preseason even proved this; but after the regular season started, this young team showed strong competitiveness.
At this moment, the professionals in the industry finally understood what the Green Bay Packers’ tactical board was going on in the preseason:
It is not because Lu Yiqi lacks experience and is busy on the spot command; it is because Lu Yiqi is wise and fully treats the preseason as a test field, completely ignores the winning and losing relationship of the preseason, completes the tactical layout wholeheartedly, and prepares for different situations through the competition as much as possible.
Of course, every coach knows that preseason victory doesn't matter, and whether all wins or all losses will not affect the regular season and playoff journey.
But for the newly appointed young coaches, using preseason opportunities to establish their prestige is undoubtedly the best opportunity - after all, other teams will not be too serious, and the difficulty of winning is not that great, especially for rookies who have never coached the NFL experience, it is not to be missed.
However, he did not expect that Lu Yiqi showed his iron fist and sharpness, as well as his maturity and wisdom, and gave up completely and completely winning the victory and defeat, completely treating the preseason as a training ground, and implementing his plan step by step.
This courage alone is amazing. This is definitely not something that anyone can do casually.
In the two divisional civil wars against the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions, the Green Bay Packers not only won both, but also won neatly, strong enough, rich enough, and decisive enough. Through actual drills in the two games, this also prepared for the remaining games of the season.
Now, looking back at the "playoff declaration" mentioned by Lu Yiqi in his debut, people finally realized that the young coach was not kidding.
The PFF score is the best proof.
Objectively speaking, the Green Bay Packers' defensive team is indeed located downstream of the league, but facing the Detroit Lions, the defensive team's performance was green all over the line. The highly criticized defensive frontline has contributed its top performance, which is a complete transformation. Compared to Rogers' outstanding performance, this is the most amazing.
Behind all this, it is obviously not because the players suddenly got enlightened, but because the head coach's tactical layout fully utilizes the players' abilities and curbs the opponent's tactics. The figure of Lu Yiqi, the young coach, can be seen everywhere.
From courage to wisdom to means, in just two games, the new look of Green Bay Packers made everyone truly feel Lu Yiqi's ability.
For a moment, Lu Yiqi became a stolen figure in the league without any suspense.
With the intentional promotion of the league official, Lu Yiqi's reputation has been rising steadily, with an unstoppable attitude, showing the majesty of a super star.
