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

[Drama Fan]

I hope they send him to the Jets, just so that he can't escape Aaron Rodgers.

He'd fucking love that. I also think the Jets have the cap space

Goff needs to win a Super Bowl already so Gosling can hurry up and play him in a movie.

I'd watch it. Get JK Simmons as Coach Campbell and Donald Glover as Amon Ra St. Brown

My only hope is that he doesn’t go to the Chiefs.

The Chiefs will somehow manage to get either him or Tariq Hill because God hates the NFL.

 

[Amerikaner Teddybär]

Isn't he like 1/32 black and therefore counts as a POC? Lol.

No, his dad's black.

Imagine having a retarded QB who knocks himself out every other day yet you refuse to bother getting a decent backup because you bought into the "genius" hype.

Even back when Tua was drafted, there were concerns about him getting injured considering his history in Alabama.

 

[俺たちファームズでノッテる]

What did he do? LMAO!

the real question is. What did she do?

 

[FootballBuff]

With a 5-2 record on MNF, very few people beat Goff on monday night. Especially when he's dominating like that. He was electric last night.

 

[InteracialBowelSyndrome]

It'd be nice if he got to play with Carr but some serious cuts would have to be made for that team to handle his cap hit.

I always found it odd how Adams loves Carr so much. I mean, yeah, they went to school together and are good friends, but I don't know how anyone would PREFER Carr throwing to him over other QB's. We've seen him in action for 10 years, we know what he's capable of. And it ain't it. They had 1 playoff appearance together, versus Adams making the playoffs every year with A-a-a-aron.

I mean, I get loyalty and all, but football is a business. And it's not one Carr is very good at.

 

[VasonJoorhees]

Twitter seems pretty certain that the Raiders are going to trade Davante Adams. It'll be interesting to see if, how, and with whom that deal happens

He's requesting a trade, which is unsurprising considering the Raiders cut Carr- who was Devante's man. I'm seeing suggestions to go to the Saints to be reunited with Carr, but that's financially impossible with the cap they have right now. I don't think he could go to the Chiefs either, don't think they can afford him? Would be interesting to see him end up with the Jets.

He's basically in the twilight of his career and it's not surprising he'd go wanna play with his buddy to have some fun.

His full cap hit this year is 25m with a 16.9m salary. Assuming the Raiders eat the 7.85m signing bonus the Jets are still 80k short.

Raiders eat the signing bonus by default. It'd be base salary this year and with 4 games already down it's $13m or so.

e: this is also where his salary guarantees end so you could just cut him after this season. It really would not be hard for anyone to sign him. He's cheap.

 

[InteracialBowelSyndrome]

Maybe its from his domestic violence involving a preggo back last November

Pardon my French, but JUST HOW MANY PREGGO BITCHES HAS THIS NIGGA BEATEN?!

Less than you would think but more than you would hope.

I always thought tracking those stats was kind of silly, it is just sort of a crapshoot on how good your team or players individual do in any given game, no? What difference does it make what day of the week the game is.

Jalen Hurts and Tua are undefeated on Friday nights, does that mean anything?

NFL analysts have a really hard time separating individual play with team success, especially with QBs.

It also ignores the most important question, was your team supposed to win? QBs like Cousins always gets berated for his horrible "prime time" record but no analyst ever brings up who on the better team that game. If your team is the underdog in the majority of your prime time games, chances are that you lose most of those games.

Yah this is what I mean, it's one of those voodoo cargo cult stats that analysts and fans put more stock in than it's actually worth thinking about. Same with records in specific stadiums, Sure it's funny that the Cowboys are 0-3 for their most recent home games, but what, does that mean Jerry World is cursed? No, it just means they suck consistently enough that they've lost at home enough for it to show up in that stat.

 

[Bill Elliot]

The Pistons and the Red Wings are going to be absolutely awful this year to make up for the Tigers' playoff birth and the Lions being a legit contender for the 2nd year in a row.

I would sacrifice the entire Pistons roster for a Lions Super Bowl.

The narrative going into this season was "The Cowboys don't lose at home", except for when it's a playoff game I guess. It's been fun seeing that blow up.

Reminder that Harrison Butker saying it was okay to be a stay at home mom has been a bigger story than all the guys who beat their wives or got into a crash while drunk as fuck. And speaking of DUIs, the ex-Packer and Seahawk back Eddie Lacy (known Chinese food and Booze enjoyer) got an "Extreme DUI" the other day which means he had a BAC of > 0.20. He should have hit the P90X instead of driving.

I always thought tracking those stats was kind of silly, it is just sort of a crapshoot on how good your team or players individual do in any given game, no? What difference does it make what day of the week the game is.

99% of hyperspecific stats are just there for announcers to fill dead-air with and for stans on twitter to brag about. Nobody else really cares that Aaron Rodgers is 5/5 in night games in September during a waxing moon when the other QB is a Sagittarius

Seeing this narrative blown up has been amazing. I got so sick of that "never lose at home" shit last year. Enjoy Jerry living until 120 with a new adrenochrome-therapy just so he can keep fucking up your team, Dallas.

 

[Americunt]

I've come to terms with the fact that Philly sucks this year, and that Jalen Hurts is NOT the guy. I'm rooting for us to not even get a playoff berth if it means Sirianni and him are gone by the end of the year, and we have a low enough draft position to pick up a decent QB and some LBs to replace our aging OLine with.

The only thing that's gonna excite me this year is if Cooper DeJean gets a Pick 6 or a Punt Return TD by the end of the season.

Nobody else really cares that Aaron Rodgers is 5/5 in night games in September during a waxing moon when the other QB is a Sagittarius

Perfect analogy lmao, stats like that and, when she was a constant fixture at Chiefs games, how many TDs Kelce got when Taylor Swift was present, piss me off so much.

 

[Absolutego]

I would sacrifice the entire Pistons roster for a Lions Super Bowl.

Is that really a worthy sacrifice when, from what I understand, they're basically the NBA's version of the White Sox right now?

I will say that while it's a useless stat, I will always laugh at how last year some nerd discovered the Lions have never won a Thanksgiving game in the Super Bowl era when the moon was in its waxing gibbous phase. How do you even get the idea to look something like that up?

 

[Iron Hamster]

and we have a low enough draft position to pick up a decent QB and some LBs to replace our aging OLine with.

Eagles should easily be around .500
