I feel like we will learn that Hurst is playing with broken ribs or something. Dude is getting destroyed.
Bears are jealous, and appreciative since they own the Panthers pickNow that’s some fine quality tanking.
Unless the Patriots screw it up by winning in FrankfurtPats/Giants is going to be such an important tankathon game, just like the NFL drew it up.
As bad as the Pats have been, it's hard to imagine Shinebox Tommy beating anybody. The Giants aren't winning a game until Tyrod Taylor comes back, and I've seen a report that he might not be back this season.Pats/Giants is going to be such an important tankathon game, just like the NFL drew it up.
Yet, it is beautiful and thrilling and NFL Sundays are the best sports days of the year.The NFL football product has been downright awful this year. Has there been a really good entertaining, well-played game this year by both teams? I remember a lot of stinkers. Giants-Jets stands out as one of the worst games played.
I’ve actually been entertained most weeks by the Pats. Even the blowouts.I will say the Pats/Bills game was a lot of fun (as a Pats fan). The Eagles game (second half) also entertaining. The rest....not so much
they have been good for many laughs, that's for sure.I’ve actually been entertained most weeks by the Pats. Even the blowouts.
It's better to be disastrous than middling.they have been good for many laughs, that's for sure.
And a whole bunch of WTFs to go along with the laughs.
They might have to relax holding calls, because the pass rushers seem to be way ahead of the pass protectors right now.Injuries to QBs and bad offensive line play has been an issue this season. Add in the usual sloppy officiating, and the result is a lot of bad football.
Yeah what it comes down to is that the quarterbacking is probably at its worst point in a while. Throughout the 2000s and 2010s we had multiple iconic, Hall of Fame guys at the position.Offense is down for many reasons, but to me Patrick Mahomes being saddled with a bottom 3 WR corps and a banged up Kelce in the same season Brady has retired and Rodgers tore his achilles plays a huge part in it. Those guys must have thrown for a combined 310 TDs and 40k yards the past three seasons.
If this isn’t sarcasm then I agree.Yet, it is beautiful and thrilling and NFL Sundays are the best sports days of the year.
Doesn't help that while I love guys like Lawrence and Lamar, they don't necessarily light up the score board and the stat sheet. Right now the high efficiency/high volume guys are basically Mahomes, Burrow, Herbert and Allen (yes, he's still highly efficient even with all the turnovers). At some point the league had Brady, Manning, Brees, Rodgers, Rivers, Roethlisberger, Ryan, Favre, Eli, Warner all playing productive football in the same time frame, and at worst one or two of those guys will miss the hall of fame.Yeah what it comes down to is that the quarterbacking is probably at its worst point in a while. Throughout the 2000s and 2010s we had multiple iconic, Hall of Fame guys at the position.
Obviously Mahomes is one of those guys, and we all think very highly of Burrow as well. But who is the 3rd best QB in the league? Josh Allen? And then who... Herbert? For all of his skills, he has not accomplished a thing in the league and his numbers aren't even all that great. Ditto Lawrence. And from there it's a very quick decline IMO. How many teams even have what you would consider their long term solution at QB? Like 8?
Miami
Buffalo
Ravens
Bengals
Jags
Texans
Chiefs
Eagles? I'm not sold on Hurts
Like... that's the list.
It is not sarcasm.If this isn’t sarcasm then I agree.
There really isn’t anything more entertaining than flipping on Red Zone at 1pm and immersing oneself in football for 6 1/2 hours.
We all know the officiating stinks. And the quality of play varies wildly. But the sheer amount of off-the-charts athleticism is a wonder to behold. IMHO, of course.
OK, then we're in violent agreement, as they say.It is not sarcasm.
NFL Sundays are the best sports days of the year.
In May of 2020, I was watching athletes playing John Madden on Xbox. Compared to that, I'll just be happy there are 18 weeks a year of wall to wall NFL action.
Complaining about matchups is nonsense. Even the worst games are amazing. Last week, Houston v. Tampa and Minnesota v. Atlanta are two PRIME examples. Nobody gave a crap about those games. And they were classics, down to literally the last plays.
Solid. I am happy to choose violence.OK, then we're in violent agreement, as they say.
Let's talk about the elephant in the room. What has the Mac-lead 2-7 Pats done to the SOSH BBTL product? I for one believe a good tanking can be healthy. Then again I 'm still here.The NFL football product has been downright awful this year. Has there been a really good entertaining, well-played game this year by both teams? I remember a lot of stinkers. Giants-Jets stands out as one of the worst games played.
Yeah, he probably should have run, but he definitely must have seen something b/c he kind of stopped and pointed.Purdy shouldn’t be throwing that ball
I mean Purdy is like 100000000000000000x better than Mac.Purdy just threw a TD pass that had INT written all over it. Then I remembered that Mac doesn't play for SF
Huge preseason miss by meRavens are just a machine right now. They are absolutely smushing teams.
Speaking of missing, Watson can't hit a 5 yard pass to save his life.Huge preseason miss by me
I do not know if Purdy has a stronger arm than Mac (I think he does), but he definitely throws the ball with a lot more velocity than Mac does.Purdy threw that off the back foot too. Exactly the kind of throw you do not ever want to make. But hey it worked out.
well he just hit the former Jet Ole Miss dog piss celebration guySpeaking of missing, Watson can't hit a 5 yard pass to save his life.
The defense looks good so far.Niners D is swarming Lawrence.
It was wonky through my AppleTV Spectrum app, so I switched over to the Spectrum cable box and it is working.The cable feed for the Packers-Steelers game is not quite right; there is a strange buffering effect I am seeing with any player movement. Anyone else having an issue?
And it definitely isn’t the result of a hallucinogen.
