245 Born out of nowhere
One after another, all the games in the third week of the regular season are over.
For fans of the San Francisco 49ers, the team has made it three wins in a row after beating the Cincinnati Tigers to claim their first away win of the season! It's a carnival, too beautiful to be realistic!
Who would have thought that the San Francisco 49ers, who started with a five-game losing streak last year, ushered in a strong three-game winning streak in the regular season after four games in this year's preseason?
This offseason, the San Francisco 49ers have undergone a seismic purge, and the entire team has almost cleaned nearly half of the team up and down, inside and out.
Similar situations are not uncommon in the league, some successes have made a comeback, the reason why FL is wonderful, and the most Super Bowl wins is only six times for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the reason is that the strength of the teams is extremely close, and the team that may have been on the wrong side last year has become the favorite to win the championship this year through reasonable drafts and accurate trades in the offseason.
The charm of tactics, which transcends physical talent, has become the biggest key to the game of football, which is why the quarterback position is so much in the spotlight.
Now it seems that the San Francisco 49ers are on the right track. At least, as of the third week, it does.
At the end of the three-week game, there are only four teams left to win all of them: Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers.
The defending champion Green Bay Packers was unstoppable and showed a strong competitive state; The Detroit Lions, who are rivals in the region, followed suit and beat the Minnesota Vikings in overtime this week to make it three wins in a row.
In addition, Buffalo Bills and the New England Patriots, who had won two consecutive weeks, faced off against rivals in the same region this week, and the Beals extended their unbeaten run with a free kick at home.
Finally, there are the San Francisco 49ers, led by the undrafted rookie quarterback Lu Ke, who defeated another rookie quarterback Andy Dalton in the rookie showdown to bagged their third victory.
In fact, three of the four teams that won all of them had a terrible performance last year.
Buffalo Bills have a 4-12 record, the Detroit Lions have a 6-10 record, and the San Francisco 49ers are also 6-10. In other words, with the exception of the Green Bay Packers, the other three teams are the epitome of the "underdog counterattack" and played at an astonishing level in the first three weeks of the 2011 regular season.
This is the NFL.
Among them, Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers showed his peak level, with eight touchdowns and one interception in three games, and an average quarterback rating of 133.5, leading the league strongly, continuing last season's championship and showing the standard of regular season MVP.
Needless to say, Brendan Rodgers is the league's best-in-state quarterback.
But in addition to Rodgers, there is another quarterback who has amazed the entire league with a sideways attitude: undrafted rookie, Chinese player, rookie professional player - Lu Ke.
In the just-concluded third week of the game, Lu Ke made 33 passes and 24 of the whole game, 307 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions, four tackles, a quarterback score of 131.75, and a PFF score of 1.6!
The quarterback rating in three consecutive games has exceeded 100, and he has given a phenomenal performance in three consecutive games, and dominated the trend of the game in three consecutive games.
Not to mention rookie players, in the entire league, the starting quarterbacks of 32 teams, Lu Ke's performance is now only behind Rodgers, and the other 30 quarterbacks are slightly inferior, including elite quarterbacks such as Tom Brady and Drew Briss; And Lu Ke is not only a rookie, but also an undrafted rookie.
It's all so magical, and so amazing; Outside of the topic, coupled with Lu Ke's status as a Chinese player, all this is even more incredible, and it has deservedly become the hottest focus of the week.
No one can ignore Lu Ke's existence.
People can express their opinions as much as they want, maybe it's a miracle soldier, maybe it's luck, maybe it's the mysterious kung fu of the East, maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's the opponent's strength is not top-notch...... However, the fact is that Lu Ke's strong performance has become one of the grandest phenomena of the 2011 season, and everyone is discussing it.
Even "Hunter" Charles Davis had to calm down at this time and re-examine Lu Ke with a more professional and demanding eye.
In the first week of the regular season, the "swallowing the microphone alive" in the second week of the regular season, and the theory of luck in the third week of the regular season, Charles stood firmly on the opposite side of Lu Ke, and repeatedly expressed disdain and ridicule for the rookie quarterback, which earned Charles a new nickname "Hunter".
In the "Bambi" cartoon, Bambi's natural enemy is the hunter; Now in real life, Charles is completely Lu Ke's natural enemy, so he has become a hunter, always ready to snipe Bambi's hunter. This nickname unexpectedly attracted more attention to Charles, and people are increasingly looking forward to the mutual affection between Charles and Lu Ke.
Now, three weeks into the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers are still undefeated — and in the rookie quarterback matchup, Lu Ke also successfully proved himself with an excellent performance against Andy Dalton. In the face of Charles's doubts and provocations, Lu Ke responded with practical actions.
This slap after slap is crisp and neat, and the momentum is heavy, even if the old qualifications are like Charles, they are a little unbearable.
"Be sensible! Guys, let's all be sane, shall we? Don't get emotional, let's look at the data and comment objectively! Charles roared hoarsely, trying to find his voice and control the situation in the midst of the noise, but the other commentators sitting across from him were impassioned and didn't give him much room to speak.
ESPN's studio, which is recording the latest episode of "Within the League" at the moment, is dedicated to discussing and analyzing the just-concluded third week of the regular season, all the games; But, now, they are discussing the absolute topic of the near future: Lu Ke.
Every commentator is scrambling to express his or her opinion. Clearly, with three weeks of persuasive performances, Lu Ke is winning the approval of more and more professional commentators, but not everyone.
In the face of Charles's shout, Spencer Larson slapped the table with a knife in his hand, "Yes, look at the data, please everyone calm down and take a good look at the data!" Three games, eleven touchdowns, one interception, and the quarterback rating broke 100 in three consecutive games! This is the answer sheet handed over by Lu Ke! ”
Spencer's words were gushing, even if he was wearing a suit and leather shoes, but his powerful momentum was a bit like rolling up his sleeves for confrontation, "These three data, Lu Ke is now leading the league, do you hear clearly?" Leading the league! Even compared to Aaron Rogers, Lu Ke is not inferior. So, what exactly are we arguing about? ”
"We're not discussing whether Lu Ke can enter the Hall of Fame or whether he can achieve greatness!" Before Spencer could finish speaking, Charles interrupted stiffly, "Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous, how could he possibly be in the Hall of Fame?" He's only played three games in his career now, and you're actually coming to talk to me about the Hall of Fame? Whether Rogers can enter the Hall of Fame in the future is still two words! ”
"Yes, we don't discuss!" Spencer laughed dumbly, "Are you sure you don't have tinnitus?" I said, we're not talking about the Hall of Fame! What we're discussing now is whether Lu Ke has what it takes to be a good quarterback? The answer is clearly yes, he's not just a good starting quarterback, he's a great performer! ”
Seeing that Charles turned his head and refused to respond, Spencer said defiantly like a bull, "Charles, Charles, as you said, let's look at the data!" Those numbers don't lie! ”
With this series of powerful slaps in the face, Charles's cheeks were swollen and red, and the bulging blood vessels seemed to be about to explode at any time, looking precarious and dangerous.
"Spencer, Charles means, let's look at the stats of the whole team!" Matt-Laurence took the initiative to cut into the topic, and in the show, there were a total of ten guests, all of whom were allowed to express their opinions and opinions, which was also one of the biggest highlights of the show, allowing for a wide variety of opinions.
Matt is clearly on Charles' side, "The San Francisco 49ers are a very, very young team, but the biggest credit for their three-game winning streak should be their defensive group. NaVorro-Bauman, Patrick-illis, Justin-Smith, the 49ers' defensive front-line ......"
As Matt said, the San Francisco 49ers' defensive team has been outstanding over the past three weeks, especially on the ground, with two outside guards and one defensive end all under the age of 26, all of whom have contributed phenomenal defense.
Not only did they hold down the opponent's ground offense, forcing the opponent's quarterback to choose a pass offense, the tactics were relatively simple, and then providing more room for second-line defense to predict; And in terms of raids, grappling, ramming, and hasty shots are not left behind.
"These players, with their current performance, are all worthy of being on the first and second teams in the United States!" After listing a lot of data, Mataro came to the conclusion that "the defense team is desperately limiting the opponent, and this is the core of the San Francisco 49ers' rebirth!" ”
"You're telling me that the 49ers relied on the defensive group to win games?" Spencer smiled sarcastically and shook his head.
Melissa-Anderson, who was sitting diagonally in front of her, also laughed, "Guys, come on, eleven passing touchdowns and one running touchdown in three games, scoring 35, 24, 28 in three games, and now you tell me that they relied on the defensive group to win?" I'm not sure if you're prejudiced or if you need an ophthalmologist. ”
Boom, a bomb was thrown directly at the opponents.
