Maybe a comparison of each franchise over a decade - home winning percentage minus road winning percentage. The highest net difference might indicate relative home advantage?
You'd need more than that because of how the NFL schedules things. The Pats' winning percentage is likely inflated because they get 3 home games per year against NFL Europe franchises.

Boy, that Lafleur offense sure looks a lot like the uninspired, boring as #### one that was being run in Tennessee last year.

So how hilarious will it be if Mariota has a career year and Rodgers plays like this for the rest of the year?

Three minutes left in the first quarter and our two QBs are a combined 3/8 for 6 yards. Yeesh.

Does any QB get away with more dropped INTs than Mitch?

It was a fun thought for one quarter.

Hoping Nagy cuts the cute crap and just runs a normal offense that Trubisky has done well in.

Rodgers is ripe for the taking here. Looks extremely weak out there aside from his 1 step,,2 yard passes

Trubisky still looks like he can't read a defense.

Still? He is in his 2nd year as a starter. I don't really expect him to be dissecting defenses at an all pro level yet. Stafford still struggles with it.
Not to mention we are 30 minutes into the 1st game of the year in which neither team has played a snap of preseason

He had a +90 QBR and a 2:1 Td/INT ratio in his first year. I think he deserves a shred of leash

The problem with Trubisky is you could have had Mahomes instead. Bears might go undefeated with that defense and Mahomes. Trubisky at this point looks like a replacement level starter.

Yeah, you're right. There aren't any recent examples of young QBs figuring stuff out in their second and third seasons at the pro level. Not even any examples I can think of from the same draft class, drafted after Mitchell either, no sir.

What's the excuse going to be if/when he gets lapped by Darnold and/or Allen this season?
