At 4.5 sacks, Bosa is currently ranked 27th in the league. Why is everyone pretending he's having a hell of a year? He's top 10 in pressures, but he hasn't really been a 'game-changer' like he's supposed to be.

Are you watching him play closely? Or are you just looking at those sack stats? If you watch him play, he's racking up a very high amount of pressures in each game that lead to disrupting QBs and has led to an INT or two. He's doing a very good job not just as a rusher but overall in being disruptive on a DL that's been missing some very key pieces due to injury.

Yeah, I've been hard on Bosa the past two years (before it was cool)but I actually think this is his best year since his DPOY season. Dude is getting a lot of pressure and playing well.

Might go over 1.5 sacks for Bosa on Sunday. If Kamala has won I would have picked the under

The problem is he needs to play more than just well. He needs to dominate because the rest of the line isn't getting a lot of pressure. It's not his fault but he's the highest profile and highest paid guy on the line so he's expected to do more.

I could be wrong but I think SF is 12th overall in PRWR

Sacks are a marriage of pass rush wins and coverage. Sacks should be looked at as a coverage stat while INTs should be a pass rush stat.

I would have picked the over because he would have been upset

That's a good point. There should be a differentiation between when a sack is considered a coverage sack, and when it's is from a dominant pass rush where the OL gets completely whooped by the DL. Likewise, when an INT is due to a rushed/off balance throw (pass rush), or when coverage is sticky.

I feel the same abut passing yards. Last night was a great example. Burrow was completing some deep throws for big yards. Jackson had an 85 yard TD pass that was completed behind the line of scrimmage. He gets credit for an 85 yard TD pass (the longest of his career) even though the receiver did all the work.

Nick Bosa's recent injury is concerning. He is actually listed as questionable for Sunday. Kyle eve admitted to being concerned and said he was very limited in practice and wasn't able to do much. Now I am still expecting him to play but I am concerned how effective he will be if he is playing hurt.
