NFL

I’ve been a Packers fan for 27 years and love Lambeau Field. Even though the restrooms could be redone the stadium is beautiful, rich in history and fandom, and the Hall of Fame is amazing.

I’ve been to new & old Dallas stadiums and the Jacksonville stadium years ago but no others. If we count stadiums that I’ve driven past I could name a lot more but I mean the question is for stadiums you’ve seen games in. I’d like to visit more stadiums and that’s the main reason for this question.

For least liked I’d probably say the old Texas Stadium. It was old and ugly.

What are your most & least liked stadiums?

EDIT: Updated it for the old Texas Stadium in Arlington. The new stadium is AT&T.

A few things here.

No Lions defense is shown. The secondary was not great but the run D was stellar.

We had (by my count) nine of the 100, so 9% of the "top 100 runs". With 32 teams we had 28%* of the top runs.

Some really great plays. The #1 run is our club. Jamison's end-arounds make the list (obviously).

I cannot remember when we were great at stopping the run and excelling at running the ball in the same season. It's a football trope to say that the road to victory is paved by stopping the run and running the ball but this has been at the core of Dan Campbell football. I love it.

*I am not great at math. This is the number I came up with. 9 of 100 plays and 32 teams.

This year Myles Garrett won the DPOY which was also matched by Garrett having the highest PFF grade among defenders with 93.6. In 2022, Nick Bosa won DPOY while having the 4th best PFF Grade. PFF grades are not a be-all-end-all metric, and like every metric it has its flaws, but I think it's a good indicator of overall play. I was curious how past DPOY winners ranked amongst their peers in PFF Grade.

• Five of the last 10 DPOY winners came in with the top PFF rank among defensive players (J.J. Watt 2014, A.Donald 2017, A.Donald 2018, A.Donald 2020, M.Garrett 2023)

• Eight of the last 10 DPOY winners were in the top 5 for PFF scores

• The median PFF rank (among defensive players only) for the DPOY is 1.5. But in 2019 there was a huge gap between the DPOY winner and PFF ranking when Stephon Gilmore was ranked 46th in PFF score of 82.8. T.J. Watt is the other player to win DPOY while falling outside of the top 5 (ranked 8th with a grade of 88.5)

• Top PFF grades in the last 10 years:

  • Aaron Donald 95.3 in 2018 (DPOY)

  • Aaron Donald 94.5 in 2020 (DPOY)

  • Aaron Donald 94.0 in 2017 (DPOY)

  • Aaron Donald 93.6 in 2021

  • Aaron Donald 93.6 in 2019

  • Myles Garrett 93.6 in 2023 (DPOY)

DL Javon Hargrave is the latest player for this to happen to, although he isn’t the only player who changed teams just to lose to the same team again. The last player to do this (don’t know if he’s the first though) was DB Eugene Robinson, who played for the Packers in 1997, lost to the Broncos in the Super Bowl, went to the Falcons in 1998, and lost to the Broncos again.

Have there been any other players who’ve suffered this unfortunate fate of losing back-to-back Super Bowls or NFL Championships with two different teams?

all of this is from on twitter. no idea why these play with the linked tweet second but I assume it has to do with elon fucking something up.
