This is a post where we talk about the unquantifiable stories behind a player’s actual performance that aren’t always shown in the postgame write-ups or the highlight reels.
Did a player put up a great score as a fluke but not look great on the field? Did they put up a terrible stat line but look good when given the chance? Who was purely the beneficiary of an unusual game script? Who was uncharacteristically written out of this week’s score book by factors beyond their control? Discuss the players you watched, and ask about those you didn’t.
The stat line winners and losers are in, but now it‘s film room time. For those who watched the games: Who passed and failed your eye test week 8?
You’re not going to believe me if you didn’t watch the game, but Rhamondre Stevenson looked really good. He ran hard, broke tackles and moved the pile pretty much every time he had the ball. His 50 yards of production don’t tell the story. Pats are totally wasting him like how the Rams wasted Steven Jackson.
