You all are hung up on the wrong thing. It doesn't matter whether the play turned into a positive. We are not talking about the offense as a whole. We are simply trying to isolate the O line play in order to judge their performance compared to the other 13 playoff O lines. To put it into perspective. CIN averaged 42 pass snaps per game in the playoffs. The 49ers averaged 27 pass snaps per game in the playoffs. Inspite of a poor running game, Jimmy wasn't asked to throw the ball nearly as much. The O line was simply not good enough and yes, neither was Jimmy.
Sack rate can do that to some degree as well since those are the most negative plays you can have beyond a turnover. Comes down to was it an individual players fault or were there other factors. No different than a pressure.
O line wasn't good enough. Never been a debate. Just don't think pressure rate by itself tells the whole story. No stat will because there are so many variables involved in every play.
What did PFF think about our secondary as a whole?
Haha. I've got 2K pages that say otherwise. Glad you're turning the corner some.
BTW: While pressure rate doesn't tell you the whole story, it does show a strong correlation to success no matter the QB or his style of play. Less pressure = more success. More pressure = less success.
Our entire team building philosophy is 100% dialed into this philosophy. And for good reason. Bring the pressure...in waves and don't stop.
If you want to add more context like the PxP breakdown I added, that's cool too.
