Indy's oline had trouble but a lot of teams will against Seattle's dline. The defense was not good in the first half but much better in the second. Carson was OK considering the line troubles. They'll get better but the first 5 games are brutal for them.
I don't really understand QBR really, but his QBR was 26 per espn. Subsequent research says average QB play is 50, and pro bowl QB play is around 75.
I'm sure some of the nerds here have a better idea for how that is calculated, I do not.

QBR is a made-up garbage ESPN stat. For the longest time, according to QBR, Charlie Batch had the greatest individual game a QB has ever played with a 99.9 QBR. His stat line for that game was 12/17 for 186 yards, 3 TDs and 2 interceptions.
When ESPN got called out on it, they dropped him from their list of top QBR games because he didn't have enough "action plays" even though he started and played the entire game. They still list him as having a 99.9 QBR though.

I concur. It’s got some clutch garbage in it too. I think they thought that the “traditional” passer rating was incomprehensible because it’s on a weird scale, ignored running plays, weights are made up out of thin air, etc. so they tried to build their own thing on a hundred point scale that was easier to understand. But it’s just a somewhat more easily digestible garbage stat.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
We had a good time at the game. Tried to be Colts fans for the day so we could enjoy ourselves more, but Seattle really held them in check so not much to get real excited about. Always great to see Carson play, wish the result had been different. Pretty cool stadium with a nice view of the skyline. On to the east coast after seeing Niagara Falls today.
