The NFL Thread - Root for your favorite team (or laugh at the Steelers, whichever's easier)

You know they're going to score points but you're playing roulette with the defensive coverage.

Unless they are playing the packers

Didn't they average 2.7 inches per play in the second half?

That's just the magic of Zach Wilson.

Analytics have him as the second-worst starting QB since '94 (which is when they started recording detailed play-by-play stats.) The worst is Rosen.

Jets should have just traded for Jameis if the Saints weren't going to use him anyway. Yeah he's not great but he's on a vet min contract and anything would be better.

Pretty sure their front seven might have more INTs than their DBs do.

4 by their safeties
2 by their corners
2 by Aidan Hutchison

Panthers are benching Baker Mayfield for Sam Darnold. I am hoping Sam Darnold succeeds just because so Skip Bayless can eat shit....oh wait, if that happens then he'll talk about how good of a rookie Baker was and how he won a playoff game against the Steelers while Sam Darnold has done none of that.

Imagine watching Skip Bayless lol

Mike White will now be starting for the Jets. Zach Wilson has been benched.

Belichick no-shit went out and decided to end this man's career. Brutal.

Belichick is basically the Jets QB slayer. He's been paying them back for the Mo Lewis hit for 20 years now.
The 2007 opener that more or less ended Chad Pennington's career in NY? Against the Pats.
The buttfumble game that put Sanchez on the fast track towards an announcing career? Against the Pats.
The "seeing ghosts" game for Sam Darnold? Against the Pats.
And now Wilson got baited into saying he didn't let down his defense in a 10-3 loss to the Pats.

Benched and inactive. Not a good look.

Jerry Jones and Dak Sucker did an interview this morning where they pretty much implied OBJ is gonna sign with them. I'm gonna laugh my ass off if he doesn't.

Also, rumor has it he's demanding 20 mil for a one year deal. Any team with that sort of cap space right now isn't in a position to make the playoffs.

I know this isn't A&H so forgive me but I'm so glad Rosen turned out to be trash.

A too online liberal kike who is also a winning QB would be catnip for ESPN/modern journos.

Jerruh dishing out for a fringe WR3 coming off his second ACL tear when his team's run-heavy would be extremely on brand. I do not understand actual OBJ hype among teams, if anything there's even odds that second tear was a career-ender.

Assuming it's just for this season it'd be prorated to about $6.6m. Jerruh might have to flip over some couch cushions but I think they could fit that.

There's no fucking way he's worth that much though. Send him to the Bucs' Retirement Home of Wide Receivers That Move Slow.

Damn, Dan Snyder isn't going down without a fight

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones identified in troubling 1957 segregation photo

Jerry Jones has owned the Dallas Cowboys since 1989 and is arguably the league's best known executive. His hands-on approach as an owner, being involved in athletic decisions...

Ok, does anyone have a higher traffic forum they use for football discussion that isn't reddit?
Because I've been banned from /r/NFL for like the 4th time now because one of the head mods is a Russell Wilson-cum-Broncos fan and I keep making fun of his team in game threads. I remember him being one of the most obnoxious assholes over the summer because of the Russ trade too, peak reddit janny bullshit.
How do you not make fun of an offense that is incapable of putting up more than 1 sad, solitary field goal against the 2022 Panthers?!

 

[PeterMannion]

The referees in the Saints-49ers game are fucking dreadful

•ignoring the blatant face mask on Andy Dalton
•The Olave No-catch
• "Holding"on George Kittle (he brushed the DBs arm with his hands)

These guys are the best in the business? I refuse to believe that.

 

[Fat Gay Riker]

Gun to my head, I couldn't name a DB on Chicago right now with Eddie Jackson injured. 31 to the Jets.

The only notable thing the Broncos have done this year was getting bought by the Rob Walton. Russel Wilson's play of his career was that 1 yard pass to Malcolm Butler.

That is just a sad existence.

 

[Back me up!]

If there is any justice / humor in clown world Synder will be forced to sell the team right after Redskins sneak into the playoffs.

I do t know why, but it’s rather funny to me that teams like the Buccaneers and the Rams are playing under mediocre to just barely OK conditions, yet the Jets and Giants are surprisingly doing well this season.

Even the Bengals are slightly okay.
