I hate the Pressure stat the most

[wrongway]

The stat I hate the most. The participation trophy for defensive lineman. Well you almost got there, here's a sticker. If it doesn't lead to a negative offensive play it's worthless. That is all.

This is sort of a weird thread to make after Cowboys beat the Saints. I think we only sacked Brees twice, but he was definitely affected by the pressure. That int at the end was caused by pressure.

I somewhat agree, if the pressure results in ac negative play, turnover, incomplete pass, etc. It should be counted, otherwise as x you said it is a useless stat..

Pressure, indeed, matters. It means the passer was affected. It doesn't mean that the pass is always incomplete/ intercepted, but more often than not it has a negative effect for the offense.

There was at least one play I recall where they had Brees for a sack but failed to wrap him up. He then stepped up and completed a pass to keep a drive alive, which was indeed bad. Overall though, it's really hard to criticize the defense this game because they in fact won it.

Pressure.....remove head from rectum.

Did you NOT SEE what it did to one of the best QB's in football?

Psssst...If the screen is black.....the telly isn't on.

What exactly do you say to someone who doesn't have the slightest understanding of how pressure affects the QB?

If anything, it's the opposite. Consistent pressure is much more important than counting sacks. So, looks like the OP has it backwards!!!!

You better believe pressure had some sort of effect on Brees' final pass.

Like I said if the pressure results in negative offensive play.... Joe Montana was pressured on "the catch" didn't work out to well much to my dismay.

Not criticising defense at all. Just random thoughts

Those are Charles Haley 1st four years in Dallas' sack numbers. But he was dominant because he caused PRESSURE!!!!!

Yes. You posted a random thought. Credit due.

Going into the Cowboys game, Brees had been sacked all of 10 times for the season. However, our consistent pressure seriously affected his passing.

Bottom-line: a 35ppg offense got held to 10pts and we won.

Um, David Bowie & Queen. Did I win?

If a qb qteps up in pocket avoiding outside pressure delivering strike to receiver for first down said pressure was worthless! Sorry if you can't grasp that. Now if you wanna say constantly driven into the turf after each pass that's different.

What you're failing to grasp is that if you can consistently get into the QB's face, you will affect how he plays. You do not have to drive him into the turf to affect him.

Man, you really aren't getting it. I take it you're a youngster?

Pressure is very important
Keeps QB uncomfortable
Sacks or better, strip sacks even better than sacks

Nope, I see clearly.

Youngsters / millennials love participation trophy's. Should have been a clue. I get it just fine. You think getting close is good. I wonder what Lombardi, Landry, Noll would prefer.
