Welcome to the new season of NFL Frustration Stats! For those who have been with me from the start, it’s great to have you back for another year of commiserating about our favorite teams’ misfortunes. For newcomers, this blog is a safe space for fans to laugh, cry, and vent about their team’s struggles.
I’ve put in a lot of work during the offseason to make this year’s Frustration Stats the best yet. I’ve compiled an extensive database of NFL stats, covering every key piece of information from game pages dating back to 1920. With this treasure trove of data, I’ll be digging up some fascinating (and often cringe-worthy) stats to help us cope with our teams’ woes.
Let’s dive into Week 1’s Frustration Stats:
Frustration Stat #1 – Josh Jacobs’ Receiving TD Drought Continues
The graph above might be outdated, but the fact remains: Josh Jacobs has yet to score a receiving touchdown. It’s as if the football gods have conspired against him. With 1,468 career receiving yards, it’s mind-boggling that he hasn’t found the end zone yet.
Frustration Stat #2 – Saquon Barkley’s Rare Three-Touchdown Game
Saquon Barkley finally broke free from his touchdown drought, scoring three times in a single game. While it’s a great achievement, it’s also a reminder of how rare such occurrences are for some teams.
Frustration Stat #3 – The Carolina Panthers’ Struggle Against Scoring Opponents
The Panthers have a dismal record when their opponents score 17 or more points. While the exact numbers might be disputed, it’s clear that they struggle to keep up with high-scoring teams.
Frustration Stat #4 – The Cleveland Browns’ Elusive 2-0 Start
The Browns continue to disappoint their fans, failing to start the season 2-0. It’s a streak that seems destined to continue, much to the chagrin of their loyal supporters.
Frustration Stat #5 – Baker Mayfield’s Surprising TD Streak
Baker Mayfield has more touchdown passes than Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes since joining his new team. It’s a testament to his growth as a quarterback and a reminder that sometimes, a change of scenery can work wonders.
Frustration Stat #6 – A Coach’s Damning Indictment of His Quarterback
A coach’s candid assessment of his quarterback’s abilities is often telling. In this case, it’s clear that the Titans’ coach has little faith in his starter.
Frustration Stat #7 – The Perils of Relying on Field Goals
Having a place kicker dominate in total yards kicked is often a bad sign. It’s a reminder that when your team relies too heavily on field goals, it’s often a recipe for disaster.
Frustration Stat #8 – Carson Wentz’s Air Yard Abomination
Carson Wentz once threw for negative air yards in a first half, a feat that’s as impressive as it is embarrassing. It’s a stark reminder of how quickly a quarterback’s confidence can evaporate.
That’s all for Week 1’s Frustration Stats. Stay tuned for more cringe-worthy stats and commiseration in the weeks to come!
