BY DOWN	CMP	ATT	YDS	CMP%	AVG	LNG	TD	INT	SACK	RAT	ATT	YDS	AVG	LNG	TD
DOWN = 1 OVERALL	31	54	289	57.4	5.35	26	4	2	6	81.5	3	5	1.7	7	0
DOWN = 2 OVERALL	35	47	363	74.5	7.72	61	4	1	2	115.8	0	0	0.0	0	0

DOWN = 4 OVERALL	2	3	59	66.7	19.67	35	0	0	0	109.7	0	0	0.0	0	0

So maybe less first down throws? Also terrible number in Q2:

Yeah but the one that counts is 4 and 5 TD vs 0 Int and a rating of 132.5. I will take that all day.

How about a 118 QB rating on 3rd down and a 132.5 rating in the 4th quarter.

I'd say he's been pretty clutch.

Strange discrepancies between comp% and YPA in Q1 and Q2.

1st down features more long bomb take-a-chance throws

Usually it is associated with play action. Looks like teams are not buying it, or confident 1st down runs do not need safety help. Look at sacks on 1st down pass plays. Really surprising.

There has to be a tell somewhere that we are not covering up on run downs. The o-line can't be THAT bad.

My advice would be to fire Pat Morris, sign a stud center and move Wood to guard.
