"More Diss" - America's favorite Dystopian pastime 2022-2023

F' this game, it's time for more of the same.

Turn out the light's the party's over indeed...

I feel like my Dolphins will finally be a world-beater this year, and then in the middle of the Super Bowl, an asteroid will land in the middle of the field.

Breaking: NFL and NFLPA reached agreement on an 11-game suspension for Browns QB Deshaun Watson, per sources. The settlement also includes a fine of $5 million that will go to charity. Deal still is not signed but it is agreed to. pic.twitter.com/2dFvcePL9k

Still should be a full season, but I guess Watson coming back to a 3-8 Browns team is kinda funny

shouldn’t feel too different from being on the texans. just worse weather. and more boos

Ahem...as I understand, this could be his first game back. NCAA March Madness bracketologists agree...

12/4 - Cleveland @ Houston

i don't understand why any teams are having 'joint practices', let alone the two teams that faced each other in the super bowl

It is an old football tradition. My high school would usually do a joint scrimmage one with another team in the county (usually one we did not play) before the season started.

Then again, practice was still pretty much full on and in full pads except Thursday walk through before the JV game.

I kinda like not following any football (or sports in general) these days, I get surprised. Heck I did not know the Steelers took a guy from Pitt in the first round. I kinda remember from highlights he was pretty good, but I did not know they took him in the first round.

I guess it comes around they did not want to screw up like they did with Marino back in the bronze age. Mark Malone my a$$.

My boys are up 17 idk what to do with this

nice catch

Wtf at Bengals

I HEART YORK!!!!!

(That would be Cade York, who just kicked a 60-yard game-winning field goal for the Browns!!)

Lmao Indy and Houston tied

Cincy and Pitt probably about to

lol bungles

also joe burrow is gonna die if he continues to get hit that many times

Steelers and Bengals was a pretty fugly game. Pittsburgh may have finally won it, but I got a feeling Watt and Harris are pretty hurt. Mitch is still Mitch.

oh, the steelers are not ~good~

which is even more reason to enjoy them beating the afc champs on the road

when people have pointed out Tua was a bit sloppy today (which he was, admittedly) as a pre-text to shit on him, I point them to Rodgers and Burrows's games today.

Rodgers's was worse, I think, because a few of Burrows's turnovers were due to his o-line rapid collapsing, whereas all Aaron did was check down all game and held onto the ball way too long.

Rodgers still plays at a high level but I think he's lost what made him a cut above the league around the time he was winning the Super Bowl, like he shows up when he feels like it. must be that 'cleanse'.

(not to take away from Minnesota, whose defense was inspired af today)

it's also his first game with several of those receivers, one of whom dropped a perfectly thrown TD pass on the first offensive snap

yeah that drop was inexcusable

Mike McCarthy trying to accelerate his firing, apparently

do the Cowboys always commit 8-10 completely unnecessary penalties or do they just do this during nationally televised games

it's the thing fans were angry at McCarthy for last year, so imagine coming into the first game of the new season and showing nothing's improved

this is a pretty embarrassing showing for Dallas

Tampa Bay isn't even exactly firing on all cylinders either (which isn't shocking for Week 1), and yet the gulf between the two are still so wide

Dak out with thumb injury, going into tent.

Cooper Rush playing QB.

it's nuts that they're still taking bets on Bovada for the Bucs to win, straight up, at -50000. the easiest money you'd ever win...even though it would be peanuts unless you put down like a quarter of a million lol

feel like those sites have a limit on how much you can put on a bet like that

oh they probably do

I mean....how do you have a backup THIS green? Mike McCarthy is like the dude who refuses to buy car insurance cos he's 'just goin to the store'

hard to tell how good he really is, this is garbage time and the Bucs really dgaf anymore

It's been a great day

I love Justin Jefferson like a son

Cowboys' season is pretty much over already

LMAO @ Seattle's center getting blown up by the corner and Geno throwing a TD anyway

what's happening to Denver at the goal line reminds me a lot of what happens in Madden when the game decides ahead of time that the CPU is gonna win

what on earth was Denver trying to do there

Some of the worst head coaching I've ever seen

A 64 yard FG vs picking up a 4th and 5 with plenty of time and three timeouts.

Ffs Russell coulda scrambled for it

Denver trying to smother that Russell Wilson magic in the crib

love him using those last two timeouts just in case geno fumbles the kneel-down

I’d say that I’m flabbergasted at the clock mismanagement at the end of that game, but it happens so often anymore that I’m just kind of numb to it. Why are NFL teams so bad at this???

i don’t think it was clock mismanagement— if you honestly believe having your kicker make the second-longest kick in nfl history is more likely than russell wilson picking up five yards, then letting the clock wind down to 20 seconds is the right move. it’s the first part that’s the problem

No, no, this wasn't mismanagement, this shit was by design. Hackett seemed to think this was a brilliant plan, sneaking McManus onto the field after the timeout and freaking Carroll the fuck out for a moment.

A head coach of an NFL team thought a kick whose length is two yards off of the all time record had better odds than picking up five yards with a $242 million dollar QB has a job.

Xpost lol mookie otm

How the fuck did we manage to say the same thing simultaneously lol

At least when Lane Kiffin did it he was trolling

I had to double check to make sure the game wasn't being played in Denver

Broncos must have been using the Andy Reid Clock Management Manual.

BILLS imo

I actually saw a pair of dummies 'defending' the decision, suggesting that they may have picked up the first down, but it still might have left them with a 50+ yard FG, and it's like....moving the ball down the field wasn't Denver's problem on Monday, it was actually punching it into the end zone. and they had three timeouts!

it's a coaching decision much like the time Nick Saban threw a challenge flag on the field, which no ref looked at or saw as they were awaiting the snap, and instead of either clicking the electronic notification button to get their attention, or actually trying to get any refs attention, he just did nothing and the play went on with no challenge.

Xpost the difference between a 55 yard field goal attempt and a 64 yard attempt is huge!

yeah I don't know the numbers exactly but I think those 52-56 yard FGs are like a 50/50 proposition whereas what the Broncos was trying to do would literally need to break an all-time record. I think there's only a couple kickers in the league who can even hit that distance in warmups. though I suppose it's possible that McManus could actually hit those in Denver.

I saw in an article about the call that only two 64 yard FGs have been made in the history of the NFL

sheesh, can't believe I forgot about Justin Tucker's 66-yard game winner last year already. suppose I just filed that away in the "things that could only happen to Detroit" drawer in my head. Tucker is a god among kickers though.

the other one was Prater's 64 yarder, but that was in Denver. I wonder if he could've hit that elsewhere.

mcmanus is 0-7 in field goals longer than 62 years in his career

Xpost the difference between a 55 yard field goal attempt and a 64 yard attempt is huge!

lol yeah seriously. I mean the Browns kicker hit a 58 yarder on Sunday, but he wouldn't have made it from 64.

i always feel like the decision is one of those 'instant gratification' things that sometimes flummoxes new coaches, like. "hmm - i could try for first down here, but we'd need to run a few more plays before we could kick to win, and who knows, maybe we fumble. or shit, I could just kick RIGHT NOW, no waiting needed! yeah, it's gonna be hard, but if we make it we win, and oh will the fans love me"

*almost feel

Not even the Chiefs and Chargers, two of the highest scoring offenses in the league, are immune to Thursday Night Football Syndrome. I should just put $100 on the under for every Thursday night game from now until the end of the season.

amazing Mike Williams touchdown catch

did you, assuming you are neither chargers nor chieves fans, watch this?

if so, was the august presence of al michaels part of the reason you tuned in?

just curious

I'm literally crying rn

Tua.

U did it

Fuckin’ Browns. Chubb just kneel at the one, dude.

wow tua
wow flacco
rip trey

rip colts

j-e-t-s come away with their first september win since todd bowles was coach

I was watching my DVR recording of NFL Matchup this morning, I was thinking that Miami and B-more game would be the one to watch (and of course we did not have it as a local game).

I guess they can shut up for a week or so about Tua's arm strength not being good enough.

Kliff Kingsbury kinda reminds me a bit of Thomas Middleditch.

The Steelers and Pats game looked like a game from the 80s. I kinda dug it. I slept through about half of it.

Minkah Fitzpatrick is an amazing player. He played out of his mind against Cincy too.

Really don't understand why he didn't work out in Miami. We expected big things, coach didn't really use him right, but he always showed he was capable of being a big game corner

Glad he's doing it somewhere

browns were so close to being 2-0 for the first time since . . . *1993*

on the broadcast they did the "last time the Browns started 2-0" montage and I think most fans knew at that moment what was gonna happen next

Fuckin’ Browns. Chubb just kneel at the one, dude.

― Mr. Snrub, Sunday, September 18, 2022 3:41 PM (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink

sure but maybe a bit unreasonable to expect him to think to do this given they were already up 7, with less than 2 minutes on the clock and no timeouts for the Jets. that's an impossible situation to come back from! like on par with fumbling a kneeldown and having it ran back for a touchdown! granted the odds do go up when you just decide not to cover the deep WR at all, when Flacco hit Corey Davis there was literally nobody else on screen with him when the camera panned over. I don't really believe in firing a guy for fucking up one play but I'd make an exception in this case.

the guy who blew the coverage was pro bowler denzel ward (well, probably the safety who was supposed to provide deep cover)

absolutley amazing Browns meltdown

elf looking good at midfield tho

why only have one safety there though, literally the only way they can win is to throw deep

I'm finding it amusing that actual Dolphins fans are still doubling down on Tua sucking after that.

"well he has two of the best receivers in the NFL" my favorite one. I seem to recall a HOF Dolphins QB having two of the best receivers in the league to throw to, can't recall his name.

also the Bengals look positively dire right now, their offense just isn't there.

yeah I dont get where that comes from, maybe he's not immediately lighting the league on fire like Burrow or Lamar but in a more traditional sense he's kinda exactly where you want a 3rd year QB to be. it does suck though that after watching the Patriots dynasty absolutely dominate that division for two decades it now looks like the Bills will be a juggernaut for the foreseeable future

I mean I understood the concerns at least before he threw 6 TDs yesterday.

i still dont' think Miami's ready to unseat Buffalo though. Buffalo is the byproduct of years of building and if they don't win it all this year, i'm not sure what it will take. they seem built for it.

the oddsmakers seem to agree with you on that, they're at +450 vs. the Bucs and Chiefs at +700. pretty big drop off after that.

Josh Allen has faked out the camera crew 3 times already

Whoever does those bizarre computer animations for MNF is the real MVP. Never fails to get a “what the fuck” from me

Oh my god Jalen

Cousins proving why he's crap once again

yeah that Jalen TD was something. but after seeing that weightlifting video he showed, not surprised he could carry that many defenders on his back.

great, both games aren't close, boring.

feel like most people don't realize that Cousins is extremely average when not facing Green Bay

I always considered him a journeyman who overachieved

So many QBs I'd rather have as a coach

how is this the same guy from last week

there are like 10 'average NFL quarterbacks' in the entire world and i will absolutely give cousins that. it's a remarkable accomplishment! but no one is expecting him to step up to the next level

also!

in before horseshoe posts 'bills imo'

Bills first two games were against the Super Bowl champion and the AFC 1 Seed and they utterly demolished them both

yeah I don't look forward to us trying to tame them next week, but maybe the stank humidity will help us

c'mon, no one respects the titans

but we do remember them

i respected the oilers. or at least bum phillips coaching the oilers and earl campbell absolutely running amok

fuck the titans and the 'texans' (tbf i guess 'commanders' has set the bar almost impossibly low)

earlnash back me up here before i pass out

I enjoyed the 80s Oilers, even though they royally beat the shit out of us the first time I remember watching them play my Fins as a 9 year old (39-7, with only a Marc Logan kick return for a TD as our offense). Moon was truly a master of the sport. in both CFL and the NFL.

if Instant Replay had existed, Bills may not have completed their epic comeback, as Beebe's touchdown to make it 35-17 shouldn't have counted (he stepped out before catching it). just imagine that, Oilers mighta taken it all!

Texans just bland, from the name, to their boring logo/uniform colors, to their style of play, like whenever you're at a sports bar and the Texans are on, you ask the bartender to change the channel. except for JJ Watt, he was cool. (and of course their fans booed when he was drafted)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao3S3q0R-CA

have to say that the ball came out of warren moon's hand in a fashion i've not seen before or since. it was beautiful and seemingly effortless

(almost ashamed to admit that i feel like i've seen a glimpse of this in tyrod taylor? nevertheless)

randall cunningham had the arm -- i mean he could throw the ball out of the endzone if he felt like it. but warren moon could drop it in where he wanted iirc

Houston Oilers were a pretty entertaining team at times.

When I was a kid they were really good and one of my first football heroes was Earl Campbell. There are a bunch of crazy plays of them literally tearing the jersey off him. He once knocked out a safety for the Broncos by running over him.

They 'should' have perhaps won an AFC title and went to the Superbowl one year with Bum Philips as there was a total crap call that is probably one of the first big 'replay shows this was a huge bad call' on a TD catch in the endzone.

They were in the same division with the Bengals as a kid, so I saw them play a bunch.

They were a wacky as hell team when Jerry Glanville coached them both doing crazy shit like blitzing everyone every single play and then having June Jones really by modern football 'run and shoot' offense which was pretty much screw the run game and run the spread a couple decades before the college game made it a thing.

Warren Moon is a serious NFL hero. Dude got racist treatment by the NFL went to Canada and was so f'ing good there winning with Winnipeg they HAD to give him a shot and then he played into his 40s and was totally awesome (outside some off field issues of course).

They also had a killer song. ZZ Top should cut it.

Oh yeah, the Bengals were rivals big time with them in the Sam Wyche/Boomer Esiason era. There was some nasty games between them. Sam Wyche freakin' hated Glanville. He called him out over the PA after a game in Cincy.

One of these weekends, I need to load some pictures of some stuff I found in my dad's garage onto the internet.

I found a couple of old 80s Street & Smith Football preview magazines from the mid 80s. I got the basically the two years of the big Browns/Broncos 'drives'.

In my Dad's toolbox I found a 1981 Jimmy the Greek little football preview pamphlet. It was the kind of thing that would get sold and then this one had a tool and die companies stamp on the back as a give away. It is definitely a window into a different era of football.

haven’t thought about the Oilers in years. loved them as a kid and the “Renfro catch game” devastated me as an 8 year old. my first professional sports wound, lol

It was a big deal and I think really the first step towards instant replay in many ways.

There are others, I'd say the 'holy roller' play where Stabler basically fumbles on purpose into the endzone to Dave Caspar was another. That led to a rule change.

completely forgot the Stabler fumble. this thread will prob send me down a youtube hole of old Oilers footage

i had an old roommate a few years back in the sf bay area. he was from Indiana, but became an Oilers fan in the 70’s when they wee terrible. he liked to root for underdogs and out his support behind the powder blue jerseys. he still had the “love ya blue” 7” at our place they we put on occasionally. terrible, terrible song

kind of amazes me how much of my youth watching the NFL had no instant replay. none from 1992 - 1998.

and I remember the one time I saw it used in 1991 before they scrapped it for six years, I told my grandpa "this is taking almost as long as an entire quarter", as they waited for the review ref to comment. in reality it was probably only two minutes long.

“Pass incomplete,” Reader told umpire John Keck with the walkie-talkies used for instant replay system communication.

“Pass is complete,” Keck heard. Inadvertently, the touchdown stood. The Raiders won by a touchdown — 24-17.

lmao. i so miss the days when the NFL was a much smaller sport

Wow Fins

I am seriously in Heaven rn

Bills played a great game as always but defense bent but didn't break.

That 3rd and 22 to Waddle wow

Also no shade but this tantrum omg

gosh i wonder how many tablets tom brady destroyed today!

Dolphins/Ravens and Dolphins/Bills were both obviously the interesting match up going into the past two weeks and neither was on national broadcasts.

It is pretty much impossible to tell though who is really that good this early in the season.

Can't say I saw Indy beating KC today.

This Broncos 49ers game is about as entertaining as watching Class A baseball where half the team is sidelinedvwith dysentery

Cannot remember the last time Russell Wilson looked this bad

upset with myself cuz I tried to bet the under thinking the game would go exactly like it did but wound up misclicking and taking the over instead. figured I'd let it ride cuz it was destiny. oh well. that game was awful.

nobody is afraid of the Broncos. i don't care how good their defense is.

can't wait for the Boys to lose this one

oh good one, Gints

Lmaoooo the MNF graphics team rules

Wait aren’t you allowed to review pass interference now? That was as obvious as it gets

(On the other hand, lmao Cowboys)

this game is bad

i would make everybody on that Giants o-line do so many laps

there's the makeup call

Daboll *screamed* "bullshit!"

more harmful call to the Giants as the Cowboys still got 3 points on their drive, this might have kneecapped the Giants drive

this game might just be worse than the 49ers-Broncos one

not if you love OFFSETTING PENALTIES!!!

Saquon hit 20 MPH on that run?? honestly didn't know humans could run that fast

another makeup call there, clearly didn't have the first down

props to the Cowboys for getting the line and getting the next play off before it could be challenged. McCarthy's Packers sure as hell could never do that

I will eat my own shoe if the Giants can put together a game trying drive here

the shoe lives

In honor of Raiders week, I present a 🧵 about my Favorite Hurricane Josh McDaniels Stories:
1. After trading away the young nucleus of our offense including Jay Cutler, Josh said to the entire team “Fellas don’t worry about the QB situation, I can turn a HS QB into an All Pro.”

— Tyler Polumbus (@Tyler_Polumbus) September 29, 2022

definitely seemed like a trend 10-15 years ago that teams would equate a "winning mentality" in a coach to "being as unforgiving an asshole as possible", which was funny because guys like Greg Schiano went 6-10 pretty much every year until they got fired. I wonder how much of that was because Bill Belichick came off that way.

The head coaches that do the best are the ones who hire great coordinators, sign the best players (if they have GM privileges) , doesn't fuck up clock management, and doesn't fuck another staff member's wife.

Awwww fuuuuck

hmph

If Tua takes the field tonight, it's a massive step back for #concussion care in the NFL.

If he has a 2nd concussion that destroys his season or career, everyone involved will be sued & should lose their jobs, coaches included. We all saw it, even they must know this isn't right https://t.co/vxpaOif5rh

— Chris Nowinski, Ph.D. (@ChrisNowinski1) September 29, 2022

I'm so deflated rn

I don’t even follow football and I heard about this one. wtf

i didn't know about the phenomenon of clinching, the raised arms after so many concussions, until tonight. that was chilling.

yeah I got to read about "Second Impact Syndrome" today which seems really really bad

He's been discharged already but no indication on what was found.

Had to leave Twitter because the "internet doctors" became too much to bear

as someone who suffered a severe tbi, i just crumple inside watching that. there was a cadre of docs and therapists making sure i COULD NOT hit my head again for two months. i was belted into a wheelchair for five fucking weeks to make sure i could not risk a fall, my bed was zippered and fucking locked at night.

it is true our situations were not totally similar re extent of damage, but they were not fucking around at all with the risk of a second impact. how nfl could allow that is a fucking crime to me now. (documentary _the crash reel_ covers this issue and a thousand other issues very very well).

in concussion protocol.

well after a brief period of rare light in a Dolphins season, of course it's all going to return to the same ugliness that dogged us prior to season.

going back to soccer where the drama is much more petty and light

(and not actually *life-threatening* like the NFL)

Hmm. Honestly is it the protocol itself that's too lenient?

Speaking with @judybattista on @nflnetwork, NFL Chief Medical Officer Dr. Allen Sills says Tua Tagovailoa was checked for concussion symptoms every day since Sunday. Points out independent neuro expert had to clear him. Once review is done, full results will be released publicly.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) September 30, 2022

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Tua Tagovailoa sat next to him on the plane. They talked about how he was feeling for 15-20 mins then Tua pulled out his phone to watch MacGruber and they laughed together, per McDaniel.

— Cameron Wolfe (@CameronWolfe) September 30, 2022

i guess he's fine

no, if he was laughing at MacGruber, I want him re-evaluated

A real roundabout way of “rub some dirt on it, you’ll be fine”

Good on the NFLPA but no the dolphins, McDaniel obv just whistling past the graveyard (Tua’s) with his rationalizations.

*Not on the dolphins

Looool Ravens

Patriots score TD on worst missed delay of game call I've seen in my life

Three full seconds past the zero

Rodgers not looking particularly great today

His game winner was dropped

According to ESPN's win probability model, the Ravens had a 73.5% win probability by going for the touchdown and a 69.7% win probability by kicking a field goal.

hmm

What is it when factoring in that it's the Ravens

lol tampa ran the ball six times for three yards

Congratulations to the Giants and Bears for playing an authentic 50s style offensive game this week showing fans what it would have been like to see a Bears/Giants game circa 1952.

lol John Morgan is from here. One night back in 2010, he ambled into a bar called Tom 'n Jerry's (which no longer exists), already slightly inebriated, followed by his handlers. it was karaoke night, and he walked to the stage. my friend, the late DJ DI was hosting, and at her encouragement, he picked up the mic, and did his TV pitch on the mic, the best he could in his condition, then just left.

Wow Giants

Wtf

I know it’s easy to say now but why did GB call 2 passes there when Jones could not be stopped

My god does Twitter love seeing Aaron Rodgers eat shit. He’s becoming the new Tom Brady (but with 6 less championships)

What is going on with Lamar today

Lmaooo Justin Tucker you rule

Matt Rhule's firing came less than three years into a seven-year, $62 million contract. He is still owed north of $40 million after guiding Carolina to a record of 11-27.

the guy had one year of experience in the NFL -- as an assistant offensive line coach -- and was 47-43 as a college head coach. fantastic work by everyone

I was really rooting for him after the whole situation but god Baker Mayfield sucks

alright, this whole parity thing is really getting out of hand.

?

i mean the browns have yet to partake of it

Early season football is so shaky, it's kind of hard to tell who is really good until about Thanksgiving or so.

Buffalo looks a step above everyone. KC has a good pass rush and the best QB. Philly is pretty good, but their and the Giants schedule has so far been to advantage I think a bit.

You know Dallas will eventually get away from the ball control and defense as soon as Dak comes back and they will work their way to the middling.

Hands up who had the trifecta with the Falcons, Steelers and Jets winning?

Check out who is leading the NFL in QBR going into this week (and probably won't go down after today)?

Here is a hint and guess what, he is not getting paid a quarter of a billion dollars.

I don't like to blame Rodgers when the team struggles but man he has looked so bad outside of the Bears game. Other than that their 2 wins are one where he nearly got outdueled by Bailey Zappe and the one vs. Brady where the announcers would go "well you would never expect THIS kind of game" after every commercial break. its not just that he's lost a step he's just indecisive and prone to making shitty throws. he's even chucking up some really bad picks which he never does. seems to really love eating the turf this year too. granted the OL and WR situations ain't the greatest but even still he just doesn't look right

these are the primetime Cowboys I remember

that turnover on downs was a legit fireable offense

well that was a hell of a drive

big drive for the spread right now lol

fyi nfl teams that can theoretically fly (jets/ravens/eagles/falcons/seahawks/cardinals) are now 21-15

seems significant

can commanders fly? we may never know

Turns out that rooting against Brady & Rodgers makes for a more enjoyable Sunday than rooting for the lions does. Cheers to bye weeks!!!

There's something unsettling about watching Brady this year. If he wants to have his Jordan/Wizards phase fine but it's hard to watch knowing that he punted away his marriage to do it. This would be somewhat understandable if it was someone who still had something to prove, like say Rodgers, who still is sitting on only one Super Bowl appearance (plus he hates his family anyway). But Brady has won everything and outlasted everyone, he's arguably the only QB in NFL history for whom another Super Bowl win wouldn't really do anything for his legacy. Also he's kind of strange to look at now? On Sportscenter sometimes they show old clips of him from his first few years on the Pats and my brain does not register them as being the same person.

Yeah he's sacrifices a lot to be scrapping it out for a wild card spot

Brady has always seemed like a freak though, I'm not sure he has much outside of football

BILLS IMO

i have been on a cloud all day

that team is good
always root for them after the vikings a fellow 4 superbowl losers

<3 M@tt

thoroughly depressed about Dolphins.

four straight games where starting QB knocked out.

Bridgewater played like shit.

Waddle's fumble was the nail in the coffin but it sucked seeing him beat himself up so much afterwards, dude is one of the shining spots of the team.

Broncos country...let's ride

I love Teddy so much as a person but he's just not a very good quarterback

lmao that's definitely not what you wanna do in overtime

awwww cute ending

didnt watch but looks like andy put on his jameis 2019 costume

30/47 361 yds 4td 3int

Rodgers looks cooked

Browns shafted on phantom false start that was actually offside on the Ravens

tom brady blew up his marriage for the opportunity to lose to teams like the steelers and panthers

While I'm happy with it, I consider the Vikings' 5-1 record a bit of a mirage, overall this has gotta be the worst the NFC North has been top to bottom in years

seem to be very few convincingly good teams. bills, chieves, eagles?

there are only 12 teams with a positive point differential

Those three seem apart from the rest, though it's getting hard to ignore the Giants

Looool sorry not sorry Packer fans, but that was the best final 5 seconds of a game I’ve seen since the Minneapolis Miracle.

ok for a split second there I thought they actually might pull it off

first game for the Packers since 1999 in which they did not convert a single 3rd down

Maholmes just carved up the Niners secondary.

Burrow played awesome today against ATL but the Bengal's O-line is still letting him get hit too much.

was wondering "why do they keep showing that dorky lookin fella on TV" and it turns out he's Miami's coach

wow scoreless second half. wonder how often that's happened

Not in a while.

I am happy we won but fuck, Fins hit a wall offensively after the hot start. Soft schedule coming up but this wasn't the positive sign I was hoping for

It’s a Bailey Zappe world we’re all just living in it

Trying to find his next Brady

I love how everyone has already started suggesting trades for Jones now as if Bill isn't merely using this to motivate Mac into earning back his job

Lol he just fumbled

Twitterverse already giving up on Zappe after anointing him the new Brady twenty minutes ago.

Idk maybe quit trying to read the tea leaves after every fucking drive

you mean they Bailey'd

Meanwhile, Bears firmly in control

If Chicago scores a TD here I'ma regret not placing a larger bet on first to 30

How did this Patriot team win 3 games

maybe checking down and running while down 19 isn't the best strategy

lol Zappe-rception

Zappe fever officially dead. no idea what he was doing on that throw.

this does make me a lil nervous for when we play the Bears in a few weeks, their defense was sick tonight

Aaron Rodgers says on @PatMcAfeeShow that the Packers are routinely making double-digit mental errors in games this season when, in past seasons, that number was, at most, seven.

"Guys who are making too many mistakes shouldn't be playing. Gotta start cutting some reps."

— Matt Schneidman (@mattschneidman) October 25, 2022

this feels like something you shouldn't say publicly

when you point a finger at someone there are three fingers pointing back at you

if the pointer is Ronnie Lott

Lol Rodgers is such a prick

Also speaking of weirdo QBs

Russell Wilson worked out and stretched for four of the eight hours on the flight from Denver to London. Said he was doing high knees in the aisle when the rest of the guys were asleep.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) October 26, 2022

I always suspected it was probably more right than wrong but man Rodgers' recent attitude really confirms a lot of what was written in that SI article about how the Mike McCarthy-era team fell apart. I can't think of another MVP-caliber player who just openly shits on his teammates like that. Did Michael Jordan even talk that way?

funny how mike mccarthy and pete carroll are both having great years away from their weirdo QBs

amazing the 32-year old Geno Smith has, somehow, become a top 5 QB statistically this year. he has the highest completion percentage in the whole league! dunno if that says more about him or the rest of the league though.

Jordan was like this when he was the owner of the Wizards and playing simultaneously.

Rodgers needs to look at himself. Certainly the lack of receiver quality and drops don't help, not does weird play calling, but I've seen most Pack games this year and the phrase "what are you doing?" comes up a lot.

He looks like he honestly dngaf anymore

I think he just wants to become a podcaster

i've read experts before who swore Geno Smith was a lot better than he'd been showing. Maybe he just needed a shot.

Jordan was a prick but he was more a motivational bully vs being a passive aggressive bastard.

feel like Jordan came at you in practice, not in the media? though but that might not be accurate

Rodgers needs to look at himself. Certainly the lack of receiver quality and drops don't help, not does weird play calling, but I've seen most Pack games this year and the phrase "what are you doing?" comes up a lot.

yea the nice thing about having Rodgers as your QB is you very rarely have to wonder that. this year though he's made a lot of baffling decisions where he's just thrown to no one in particular like he's Mark Sanchez or something. usually to pick him off you need a lucky bounce or for someone to fall down but this year he's just doing a lot of chucking. he is also missing receivers by like 5 yards on his deep throws. it's weird because this stuff used to be so automatic for him.

i feel like brees and brady and manning have given us unrealistic expectations about qbs just magically performing at a super high level at 40 and beyond, i think aging is just catching up w/rodgers

well, Manning was what, 39 in his final season? Brees, 40? and they both quickly became very bad. Rodgers is 38. hmmmm.......

wilson shot off 2500' cliff at 33, still plummeting. he will land on a pile of a quarter bil $ after a fall of approx 2.5 ft

peyton was MVP at 37 and absolute garbage at 39 (if not quite so bad that he could prevent them winning a super bowl). it happens fast

being able to evade/shrug off tacklers was a huge part of wilson's (and rofflesberger's, for that matter) game -- and something that's likely to disappear even more quickly than arm strength

roffles' entire last two seasons were just endless five-yard outs/slants. tbf part of that was due to his having poor receivers and a deeply terrible o-line -- i understand rodgers is having the same issue, at least with the former -- but most of it was his due to his immobility

Manning was so garbage in 2015 in ways that would have been bad in any earlier era, but in the era when anyone with a throwing arm and a teammate with hands could have 20-10 TD-INT numbers, that 9-17 line looks historically awful.

Crazy thing about Brady of course is he’s looking washed but still not doing *bad*

brady honestly doesn't look that bad to me. it's just hard to compete with zero mobility in today's nfl.

his numbers also look way better if mike evans doesn't drop a 75 yard td last week

all of his receivers are finally healthy and he gets to face the ravens' atrocious pass d this weekend...

*tonight, not this weekend lol

I’m convinced it’s more a team thing than a Brady thing, he just doesn’t look like mr 45 TD anymore, which is to say washed compared to his prior peaks, but many thought he was done a decade ago so who knows?

Oh well I guess I didn’t actually see he’s projected for 4700 yds and a 19/2 TD/INT ratio so he’s better than I thought this year. Curious to see about tonight yeah.

the 3-4 Falcons are now first place in the NFC South

probably not brady's fault that the bucs had 44 rushing yards and the ravens had 231

being able to evade/shrug off tacklers was a huge part of wilson's (and rofflesberger's, for that matter) game -- and something that's likely to disappear even more quickly than arm strength

ditto for Rodgers, he's not quite as elusive but he might be the best QB of all time at throwing on the run and making the right pass with a millisecond to spare. he's not really hitting those anymore and he also has this careerlong problem of fumbling a lot when he gets hit

just so much of it relies on the offensive line

the difference between having x seconds and y seconds to throw is the difference between a journeyman and a pro bowler

/trenchant

Brady filing for divorce today. rough week for him

an article i read about brady admitting that bc of football he hadn't been around for christmas/thanksgiving for twenty plus years, missed funerals, family events, etc...i mean it sounds absolutely miserable to me. went back to the table to gamble one time too many i guess.

all because he didn't want to get scooped on his own retirement announcement by adam schefter lol

going out sad

Gronk, Arians gone as well...he's just a lonely guy thinkin bout things playing out a final stretch on a crappy Tampa team. it's like the end of The Irishman.

Or maybe Godfather 3

Omg Carolina

Wow you’d never know this was a Rams home game

I figure with TB12's current situation, he probably will continue playing even after this year in an attempt to change his fortunes. Dude looks weird though to me, I think he's using alot of botox or something.

I have to think like Dorian Gray there is some first year Fathead of TB12 that is slowly aging in some lost bedroom in New England and this week a tear was going down it's cheek.

TB12 and ARodg are going through these dad divorcee/single at 40 doldrums and the Manning brothers are eating cheeseburgers with Bill Murray and hosting game shows and getting paid to watch games in their man caves. Who's a winner now boyos?

I don't trust anyone who says they don't eat tomatoes. If you are allergic or something I get it, but c'mon man.

yeah I've probably said this before but if you compare young Brady to current Brady my brain don't even recognize it as the same person. anyway Rodgers lookin slow as hell today.

ye gods there's 2 minutes left in the 3rd and Rodgers has only 71 yards

Geno Smith is just an amazing story this season

Good lord the Bungles are getting clowned hard

Can't stop Brissett, can only hope to contain him

Chubb (we got)

(not Nick, Bradley, an edge rusher that will help immensely, for draft picks and our backup RB. then we traded to get a replacement backup RB, Jeff Wilson from San Fran, reuniting him with McDaniel. he also has 468 yards on the year and will make a good compliment to Mostert).

funniest part is broncos were desperate for a 1st rounder for chubb. they get niners first rounder “congrats!” lol

sounds like they just replaced Chubb w/ a trade with the Jets (for someone I am guessing is cheaper/not in contract year)

yup, i’m pretty jets ignorant among my other ignorances so ?

lol @ the Packers not doing a damn thing

jets traded jacob martin to clear a logjam on the d-line. they have a deep group, no one outstanding rusher. maybe carl lawson will become that guy as his achilles heals

Rodgers just threw his 3rd pick against the 1-6 Lions. Packers still sitting on 0 points halfway through the 3rd

Tyreek Hill at 1,104 yards rn

That's 100 more than our leading receiver had all last year

Joe Mixon with five TDs today

After three quarters!

did not predict Dolphins vs Bears would be the game of the week.

I feel so drained

jets, baby!

bills 0-2 in the division lolll

Really starting to look a lot like Peyton’s last year

Running out of people to blame

I was thinking I might run out of Packer schadenfreude, but nope, still got plenty.

Rapper Lil Wayne, who is a Green Bay Packers superfan, wrote the team’s 2022 obituary after their latest loss on Sunday – a 15-6 defeat to the Detroit Lions. Wayne tweeted the season was ultimately over and the organization should’ve gotten rid of Aaron Rodgers at the start of the season.

"RIP to the season we should’ve gotten rid of 12 before the season," he wrote.

two INTs from the 1-yard line = maybe some self-reflection Aaron

With todays victory Doug Pederson (3-6) has moved into sole possession of fifth place on the franchise’s list of all-time coaching victories. Moved one spot ahead of Urban Meyer, Mike Mularkey and Mel Tucker.

Jets defense looks pretty legit.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott always looks like a guy that really wishes he had a dip.

Brady can still play, it's just he is on a pretty mediocre team now.

McDermott just looks like Bill Burr to me

That one punter looks even more like Bill Burr.

That first TD by Lamar Jackson was sick. Full running sprint and he drops a 30 yard laser in the end zone like no big deal.

ok Brady having 100,000 pass yards is such a fucking insane statistic

Fucking love Tua

Yeah super easy guy to root for too

Justin Fields doing more cool shit today too

Holy shit the end of this Vikings Bills game

Wow

Also justin fields and tua are absolutely disgusting, I was wrong about fields a few weeks ago, not that he’d been good up to that point. but he’s just unlocked a cheat code.

I’m just not used to the bears having a potentially great qb

I'm still not convinced that the Bills late sideline catch was a catch

Josh Allen had quite a mixed game

Nor am I (xp) What a bananas game.

My heart is still racing, that was the craziest Vikings game I've ever watched

Jefferson catch is all time

It's so crazy Dalvin Cook's 81 yard run isn't even being talked about

Routine play in that context

if the raiders lose, at home, to the colts and their high school head coach and zombie QB and 30yo intern calling plays, josh mcdaniels should be ritually disemboweled at midfield

F' abunch of overpaid coaches trying to make their job seems like they are brain surgeons or something.

How much coaching experience did Steve Kerr have before he took over and led a dynasty? NONE.

Any coach coming off the street is going to be in the same boat whether or not they coached years or not - they got to run what they got.

Dude got way more experience as a player than Bill F'n Cower and was a union rep and a football talking head. I don't doubt that Saturday would have to game up to take on a such a job full time, but to say the guy has NO experience is BS.

i don't think saturday is an idiot, but there are a lot of guys out there who have both his playing experience *and* significant coaching experience

also it's kinda weird how whenever some team makes a bizarre coaching hire it's always for a white guy

Lots of very qualified minority candidates

i guess you can't have *just* east coast teams playing in england and germany, but it seems kind of unfair to send the seahawks to play the bucs in europe considering the jet-lag differential. nine-hour change is rough

tough for their fanbases! watching a 6:30 AM game

Just pointless and I wish they'd end this experiment.

They'll be playing in Norway by 2045

Starting to believe these missed XPs are point-shaving

Washington has 31 minutes of possession vs. 7 for Philly

Love to see it. Except I hope Snyder is being strangled to death

pretty cool getting worked by the refs in a home game

some incredibly weird turnovers in this game

oh man. sure.

pretty lame ending, Heinecke slid in such a weird way I don't blame the defenders for hitting him

nice of the referee for waiting until he started to stand up to blow the whistle, too

Holy shit that Eagles turnover!

lol @ this guy thinking a domed stadium is the solution for 3-6 feet of snow

imagine building another outdoor stadium that costs $1,400,000,000... w taxpayers contributing $850,000,000!!!... as the league discusses the potential of you losing a home game due to snow

play in snow or don't build another outdoor stadium in the snowiest NFL city in America https://t.co/wWzNtPnztM

— Warren Sharp (@SharpFootball) November 17, 2022

Lmaooo Tannehill never seen a fake like that

Rodgers just missing big throws tonight

he seems to be throwing where his guys are instead of where they're going to be, so his WRs have to suddenly twist their bodies and can't catch the ball. so weird to see him scramble around on these make-or-break 3rd & 7s and then chuck the ball to absolutely nobody. he's not even coming close on some of these.

two more TDs for Christian Watson though, which gives him the most for a Packers rookie in the last 40 years. he had 0 coming into last week. so I guess that's a positive.

also Tennessee ran a really cool trick play at the goal line with Henry...never actually seen anything like this before

Cool play - it even looks like the o-line created a little pocket for him.

Jets had 7 total yards in the second half

Never seen a 8-1 team look so overmatched. At home no less

It's...not good

xxp saw houston had 5 total yds 1st half

Bengals offense is starting to look pretty good. O-line is getting better. They need to throw more to that Perine guy #34- he is brute.

Pickett is starting to look at bit better and if the Steelers had a better o-line/run game - he will do ok.

WTF Vikings...ouch. Everyone has been waiting on this one for weeks but I guess the magic bag was emptied out last week in Buffalo.

How the Vikings can get so outplayed after last week’s huge game is incredible to me. But they do it, season after season.

kinda seems like we're at the "wait which teams are good, again?" point of the season.

hold up. do the Chargers have a kicker named Dicker

whoa all time cool pick to seal the Chiefs/Chargers game. 2 Chiefs had a shot at it, collided into each other, then the ball bounced into the hands of a 3rd one

hard to tell how much the Lions play of the last two weeks is genuine improvement and how much is their opponent's own ineptitude.

leaning towards "they're turning a corner but aren't quite there yet"

lol and then they gave that up

great, gonna hear about the Josh Allen redemption story even though he only really showed up in the fourth quarter.

I mean sure but that was a hell of a throw. He’s clearly hurt

Goff had #84 wide open on that 3rd and 1 to win it. He just didn’t see it. Too bad would’ve been super cool for the Lions to go on a run here

they mismanaged that whole drive. wasted a lot of time, so they only had one real deep shot that could get them anywhere near a touchdown. it seemed like they were content going to OT. then forgot they actually had to play defense for 20 seconds. how does someone get that wide open when you're dropping back that far.

I don't see rationally with division rivals, I see blood red. Miami gonna have to win Sunday to keep first by tiebreaker.

apparently Houston starting Kyle Allen instead of Davis Mills!

Dear Giants,

If it is 4th and 1 - RUN THE BALL.

Your best player is Barkley, use him.

Earl.

I just cannot figure out how freaking soft NFL defenses have become that any lead with 20 seconds on a kickoff without some crazy long return is not safe.

Dallas' O-line is still playing dumb as a doorknobs. For as a big a road graters they have, they are still kings of the dumb bad false start and holding penalties.

I just cannot figure out how freaking soft NFL defenses have become that any lead with 20 seconds on a kickoff without some crazy long return is not safe.

this is also the second time in two games that someone let the Bills do that. ffs I know you can't just rush one person, drop everyone back 20 yards and 'keep it all in front of you' when defending against a field goal, but like you can still play to contain the pass without blitzing and selling out your second line.

this time around they had timeouts which helped because they could use the entire field, but it's not like you don't literally practice THESE SCENARIOS DURING THE WEEK

I guess some of that is the Bills getting some return mojo for blowing a game with 13 seconds last year in the playoffs. Some of that is that they have to play so hands off anymore that if they breathe too hard on the receiver it is a penalty.

there is that, yeah.

I was more annoyed that the Lions put themselves in that position to begin with. letting time tick off the clock, zero urgency, practically settling for the field goal even before Goff missed on that 3rd and 1. and honestly there it might have just been better to get the first down, call timeout, so you can take a few shots at end zone rather than just one.

their defense is the worst in the league, they're playing the Bills, they leave them 20 seconds and go "how bad could it be?" lol.

a few things about this season...

1) having an odd number of games is literally the dumbest thing, no other major American sport does it. soccer leagues don't do it. having an uneven amount of home and away games makes no sense. they should have either added two, or just kept it at 16.

2) shit like the Bucs being 5-5 and in first place and the 7-9 Seahawks getting in a few years ago makes me wish we just reduced to two divisions. the four divisions are just dumb at this point.

3) the parity this year reminds me of the early 2000s.

(i know they did the odd numbered games last year too, i'm gonna keep whining about it indefinitely)

the NFL's 16 game season was the perfect schedule. like a 32-team World Cup

tbh go back to this or gtfo

https://i.imgur.com/Ot5ohs7.jpg

(these are the standings in, i believe, 1977, when i was given this set of magnets)

the vikings have been limp like that for 40 years

ohhh I hate the fact that the Vikings got a 1st down out of that

Really rude for the Texans not to show up to the game today

I know everyone is dunking on Rodgers this year but holy hell Russel Wilson might be putting up the worst Year 1 of a massive contract ever. How do you let this continue

Bengals shut down Travis Henry to 38 yards on 17 carries. That will work.

Russell has to currently be on pace to be one of the worst free agency signings ever. If he fixes things next year then ok but it's shocking how bad he's fallen off

Miami's Armstead (LT) injury thankfully just a pec strain, no tear

That did not stop my fellow Fins fans from screaming "season over" as they became 8-3 for the first time since 2001

btw why are you a dolphins fan as opposed to being a bucs fan?

i mean, i don't blame you! just curious about florida loyalties

My grandpa, mostly. He moved down to FL in the 70s, before the Bucs existed, and he became a Fins fan. And then I took an interest in watching with him

It's funny cos then everyone assumes I like the Heat, the Hurricanes, the Marlins, lol fuck those teams. Dolphins my only Miami team of rooting interest

Christian Watson looks like a star in the making wow

xp cool

butcher shop in my (brooklyn) neighborhood is all pro-chute and they're great but also they're yankees + jets fans?

― mookieproof, Thursday, November 24, 2022 9:17 PM (four days ago) bookmarkflaglink

the vikings have the 7th highest winning percentage of all nfl franchises, it's not a lions thing - it's the build up/crushing disappointment that gets you, they have generally been good teams that's the problem.

Xpost lol shit I forgot about all the trades. My god... wow

Yeah all that plus Seattle got out from his contract, near Herschal Walker territory

lol i just meant that the magnet on that vikings helmet wasn’t strong enough to hold itself straight

Hope he throws 3td and 15 int the rest of the way and Jacoby brissett goes to the raiders or something and takes them to the chip.

Wow fuck ESPN for running that story.

Lmao Watson shitting the bed against his old one win team

I haven't rooted this hard against anybody since Roethlisberger. If his comeback succeeds and his conduct is whitewashed I might finally be done with the NFL.

Same here but cmon they ain’t losing to the Texans

49ers up 10 on the Dolphins despite their QB being literally the last pick in this years draft

Have you met our overrated secondary

feel like this evening's game features a strong possibility of utter humilation

Still a while to go, but I got to think Jalen Hurts might be my MVP choice. I got to say, it has to be just a matter of time until he gets hurt as he is a bit fearless running the ball.

Eagles are looking pretty tough now, but I think they came out of today a bit more banged up.

Lot more football to go before the playoffs though. Same thing with the Bengals, they are looking pretty good right now too in all facets. That Perine is a banger. Their skills players are so deep and talented.

Cowboys too

just dropping a casual 33 points in the 4th quarter

Niners are cursed. Jimmy and Trey out for the year and they have a world class defense and all kinda offensive weapons.

gtfo

oh no, we smoked a playoff team with a guy off the street playing qb. so cursed!

go find a lions fan to apologize to and return suitably chastened

tbf idk where you're gonna find a lions fan, so carry on

Didn’t know they even had a team to be cursed tbf

BILLS BILLS BILLS

i was very pleased with the Lions' good showing yesterday; they are my second team, maybe. i was born in Detroit!

also very pleased with the booing of Deshaun Watson

I've seen some pics of some disgusting shirts Browns fans have been wearing, the whole thing is shameful

Lions are a fun and very strange team, they seem like the type that can give up 40 points to the league's worst offense and then beat the eventual Super Bowl winner 45-10

I grew up a Lions fan. Changed allegiances when I moved to Cleveland. Have regretted being a football fan since birth.

it's a hard row to hoe in the Rust Belt, brownie

next year seems like it could be a big one for Detroit. idk if they're gonna stick with Goff but they've got something cool brewing there, as always the big thing is they need to learn how to stop shooting themselves in the foot

amusing how Green Bay was the odds on favorite to win the NFC North this year, and had they not completed the 2nd half comeback they'd be sitting in last place. obviously Rodgers is not playing all that well (in part due to injury) but also this defense is giving up an insane amount of yards, particularly on the ground. it's crazy how despite having multiple head coaches, DCs, and entire defenses the team can still have the same problem year in and year out.

i was excited to watch the jets play meaningful december football, but the downside is a crushing loss like yesterday's. they let the vikes convert third down after third down in the first half and put themselves in a 17 point hole. they were so close to getting out of it!

mike white looks good but idk if having him throw it 57 times is ideal. hopefully they can recreate their magic against the bills next week.

in passing, i am so annoyed by the jets and the entire AFC east being good this season! i feel like the pats skated to so many AFC east titles because the rest of us were kind of terrible.

if Tampa loses this they'll fall to 5-7 and still be in sole possession of first place

really wanted the Browns to eat shit by having Baker play like a star elsewhere but uhh apparently he's not even good enough to be a backup anymore

The Packers have mismanaged the late part of Rodgers's career so badly.

fucking insane how much better the Bucs' hurry up offense is than their regular one

Niners are cursed. Jimmy and Trey out for the year and they have a world class defense and all kinda offensive weapons.

https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/andrew-luck-explains-colts-retire-nfl/dbx6ztnq6imadw43hpyz3f7h

The anti-Brady, respect

yeah good for him

Titans just fired their GM, which is odd because they're playoff bound. I wonder what's happening there.

someone fucked someone's wife

lions (5-7) are two-point favorites vs the vikings (10-2) this weekend, which is interesting

historically, we've had some real duds playing on the road in detroit even in really shitty years for them. also, the teams are on the opposite side of the same coin, the vikings always able to pull victory out of the jaws of defeat and the lions pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory.

but it does feel strange given the record. also, you'd have to be a complete degenerate or masochist to bet on vikings games this year.

really tempted to slam the Vikings +2 here

I think sometimes the Desert just likes to seriously fxxx with gamblers heads.

Lions are 8-4 on the spread this year, so they have been a degenerates friend this year.

i don't think it's crazy -- lions have won four of five and the loss was by three to the bills. and thanks to that cowboys blowout of the vikings, the lions' point differential is only 19 worse than minnesota's. but it is a little odd

Honestly it's likely a byproduct of being at home and tending to not get blown out even when they do lose, and having a really good offense.

Lions by 3 would technically be the "toss up" line since they're at home, so sounds like bettors are bearish on Detroit but not bullish enough on Minny to swing more points their way

That's also the type of bet I used to lose but the sackful so my ass is staying away lol

*by

what a moment for maker bayfield

I don't think Mayfield will ever be great, but I think he got a bit of a raw deal in Cleveland and kind of paid for the disappointment of 2021. He played hurt a bunch when probably should not have been out there.

Playing for the Browns, they were on TV around here quite a bit and he had some really good games if inconsistent. It probably did not help that OBJ went into full TO Diva mode and seemed to be blaming him for everything.

Got a feeling he will hang around a good while as a backup, if nothing else.

Hey Jim Plunkett was a first pick bust until he won 2 Superbowls after coming off the bench for the Raiders, so it's not impossible.

Dan Fouts was terrible for about four years, as was Elway

prior to free agency, when you could stockpile talent for later on your bench, QB used to be a very long-term project

now you get called a bust if you throw a pick in your second start

hoping the genoaissance turns such things around a little bit

really happy for him tbh. esp now that he's doing it when not a Jet, lol

tbf when you're a jet, you're a jet to your last dying day

re: Baker...he's young, he's been hurt a lot, and he's only played for dysfunctional organizations so far. if he starts a couple more games for the Rams who knows this year may not be a total waste

Even calling him a bust really is not right, the dude led the Browns to their first playoff win over the Steelers at that for the first time in like 20+ years.

Also, college football is done - why is the NFL not playing today? Seems a good day to have a couple games.

never seen this before. bills were 4th-and-1 around their own 37 and all of america knew they weren't going to snap the ball. tight end goes in motion then acts like he's going under center. jets linebacker leaps to hit him, commits encroachment, buffalo goes on to score a TD

Bills fake out the Jets to get them offsides!

it’s fun being an iggles fan

Lions gonna win

Watson throws a terrible pick. I'm here for it

Texans had a shot but they texaned it

Cowboys were 17 point favorites that's exactly the sort of game they struggle with

Miami Dolphins already playing their worst game of the century and then get flagged for a hilarious phantom roughing the passer call

Tua looks like he did in 2019

2020 soz

that was an incredible throw though

Thank God

holy fuck what is this Tua statline, that completion % is nearing "no franchise quarterback has ever had a game this bad" territory

It's been unbelievable

also amazed that Justin Jefferson had a 223 yard game and the Vikings still lost by 11 to the Detroit Lions

Xpost big thing about the Fins tonight is Tua is normally a quick release, and the offense moves fast. He's holding the ball forever tonight. I guess Waddle isn't getting open but I think he's so afraid to make a mistake he just doesn't throw at all.

Xpost also they have negative point differential

whoa, wonder if they're the only 10-3 team to ever do that

lmao @ Tom Brady & the Bucs making an insane 4th quarter comeback to beat the Saints only to get trucked the next week by some dude named Brock Purdy

holy christ how did McBride hold onto that. that was the sort of hit that ends careers

Colt McCoy gotta be relieved this one is over

snow game in buffalo tomorrow night

get your 'dolphins in cold weather' factoids ready

god we're so fucked.

i hope i'm wrong. but 8-6 after an 8-3 start would be so demoralizing, and schedule not exactly getting easy.

this week in no one respects the vikings!

they (10-3, 6-1 at home) are -3.5 at home against the colts (4-8-1), who have lost six of seven and have a special, to put it kindly, coaching staff

Vikings are only 5 touchdowns away from covering

I'm sorry, Vikes fans. like my own team, I can't figure these guys out.

That was as bad a half of football that's ever been played.

wouldn't mind seeing the craziest comeback in history in the second half.

Lol suddenly it's a one score game

Lol holy shit

Gotta pull it off, this would be amazing

Two defensive touchdowns overturned on bullshit calls

If they overturn this, fans should start throwing shit

Words fail

Tied baby

Incredible

That is so unbelievable. Colts really should’ve gone for that long field goal.

As a neutral observer though, for comedy purposes this might be the best outcome

Idk, I thought going for it was the right call. I thought the o line got enough of an initial push but Matt Ryan is old, small, and slow

If this ends in a fucking tie

Ten minute overtimes were probably meant to make teams have to be more aggressive to win but usually each team only gets one possession. So it ends in more ties than we used to have

Lol Colts

Commit obvious delay by stopping player from getting up, give kicker five more yards

History.

Still didn’t cover lmao

If you want entertainment I don't know what more you could ask for than the 2022 Minnesota Vikings

Yeah they’re having one of the wildest seasons in NFL history

11-3 with a +2 point differential

wow!

Just found out it was 33-0 at half.

Tua has TD throws dropped on back to back plays.

Guy can't catch a break.

lmao at Waddle's TD celebration, go Fins for that reason alone

I love "The Waddle"

ahhh man I hate the roughing the kicker rule. I mean I get why it's there just hate when it's invoked, it's such a crazy momentum shift. basically a turnover

oh wow what a great throw

i don't remember the last time i saw someone attempt to murder a kicker to that degree, that was wild

Bills fans whining it should have been only five yards lmao

Sigh. Miami's third down playcalling has been so defeatist the last two drives that Chan Gailey would try and fuck it

See? The fuck you didn't run there

lmao the Bills lost 30 yards on a 2 point conversion

wait now it's called good? lmao ok just barely

Swear to God, this is the fifth challenge in the last three weeks that ruined a possible stop for us.

Not that it was incorrect but I'm going to stop cheering until five minutes after each play.

hooo boy tied in the 4th as the snow starts coming down with both teams ready to murder each other, exactly where I wanted this to be

Sanchez needs to seriously shut the fuck up

hot damn you can't be covered better than that

boy I dunno if Buffalo is gonna want to take the clock down like that

oh now that's a horseshit way to lose the game, he was not catching that ball

Kohou has committed more dumb P.I. calls than anybody on the team. He's a rookie on a depleted squad so I can't hate too much.

I want our coordinator gone. We don't exactly have a top tier defense but it plays well below their abilities.

Wow @ this Bucs 3rd quarter. Actually somehow worse than that Vikings 1st half

LMAOOOO the final play in the Pats/Raiders game

NFL is a sad, destructive world - but gd it can be so weirdly entertaining. Last weekend was one of the most batsh1t crazy weekends of football I can remember. There was like a season of weird stuff in games in like a week.

One thing I do think, I kinda think the Giants should stick with Daniel Jones for a bit longer. He's not great or anything, but he really does not suck either. I kinda think he reminds me quite a bit of Alex Smith and if you compare their numbers, they are actually closer than you might think. I'd keep him on a cheap deal and then try to improve the offense around him.

yikes j-e-t-s

at the half

bengals 22 points, 303 yards, 22 first downs
patritos 0 points, 70 yards, 3 first downs

WTF IS GOING ON IN FOXBORO?! 😂 pic.twitter.com/TEqT5VbYgW

— Jordan Moore (@iJordanMoore) December 24, 2022

Michigan beat Wisconsin a few years ago on a play like this. Never seen that in the pros though

honestly impressive how there are maybe six good teams out of 32

Are you counting Minnesota there er nah

reminds me of the early 2000s where it was one or two great teams and a bunch of inconsistent ones.

I kind of want to see a defensive renaissance in the NFL, not that I want to see offenses struggle like they did in the dire early 2000s, where you ran 40-50 times a game and gashed bad run defenses while your QB was a 'game manager', but I wouldn't mind seeing more true shutdown defenses emerge again, even as hard as it is in this era. "bend but don't break" has been the law of the land for about ten years.

Welp buddy looks like you and me are enemies today

Everything’s been breaking in favor of the 6-8 Packers this week lmao

BRING IT ON

my mom got me almost 100% Fins stuff, so she's hoping I don't throw all of her gifts out.

"Mostert...there's raelly nothing there, he's just patient"

replay shows gaping hole from the onset of the play.....

these broadcasters man

fire our ST coordinator

lmao Rodgers taking that sack as an almost 20-year veteran is inexcusable

throw it away and you're facing third and goal from like the 6 and have a chance at a TD

WADDLE BABY

kind of insane that he has 1,201 yards and yet he's 300+ behind his teammate Tyreek (who eviscerated Miami's single season record already).

how the fuck is that not a facemask? you're no longer allowed to just stiff arm the fucking thing willy nilly

Also the def pi a couple before

yeah even I commented we were lucky to get away with that one. Crossen is just not a good CB and does that all the time

ultimately though, my controversial opinion is that letting the Packers start the first drive from our 9 and second from their 45 might be a bad special teams strategy.

some fans whining that the throw to Hill was PI on irst drive but I don't see it. just looked like good coverage.

Both offenses look competent thats an nfl plus for me on xmas

if our center hadn't held and snapped the ball over Tua's head, we mighta scored on that drive.

feel like our players have been dumb for 20+ years

Rodgers actually looking good today

our secondary is beatable. Kohou is a rookie and he holds on just about every play, and we can't defend a slant to save our lives. terrible LBs.

there's the Rodgers of this year

What the fuck you doing

it's clear Miami needs to blitz Rodgers but carefully. no 'sending the house', and all of them have risks. CB blitz = if you don't disguise it well, Rodgers will just make a quick throw and get the first, LB blitz = if you don't get there, he'll take off and have space to run in.

we have been blitzing him but Chubb got hurt.

GIVE 'EM HILL, TUA!

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH

Ummmm did they do that on purpose

the killer is, if you'd done a fake punt that was an actual pass, you probably woulda gashed us for 30 yards

really don't wanna hear any shit about Tua after this half. despite four holding penalties, 17 points so far.

feel dirty rooting for this packers team, but there's still a slim chance we'll see mike "the" white "lotus" in the playoffs, so root i will

Fuck this team.

What was going on with Tua in the 2nd half there

neanderthal jinxed him with really don't wanna hear any shit about Tua after this half

Yup

The Rams and an excellent Baker Mayfield are traumatizing the Broncos right now

incredible season for denver

R. Wilson
9-18, 133 YDS, 3 INT

B. Mayfield
23-26, 226 YDS, 2 TD

This is approaching Herschel Walker trade level disaster.

#Broncos backup Brett Rypien exchanged some words with the starting offensive line, defending Russell Wilson after he took another sack, per @tracywolfson. Dalton Risner pushed Rypien out of the way.

That is one broken-ass team. Wild to look at the definitely not-good Bears team and feel pretty good compared to that, or even the Texans for fighting hard every week with their awful team.

Yeah I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team as fucked as the Broncos are right now. They’re the Lakers of the NFL

losing to a Rams team without its best offensive players, letting them put up 51 points…I mean I think the Kurt Warner era Rams only scored 50+ one time.

hey congrats to Brady on another OT win still kinda sad to see it have to come to that against Trace McSorley and the 4-10 Cardinals

Broncos players totally phoned it in today. It was some serious IDGAF by the defense today. I’d say a total house cleaning coming to that team.

It is so Detroit Lions that they get the path to the playoffs and they lay an egg against the Panthers.

Obvious Carolina is playing hard but the Lions got to be the Lions.

I’m sure JJ Watt probably likes the Arizona weather better but I bet he really wishes he would have taken that deal to go to Buffalo instead of going to the Cards.

Hackett fired by Broncos

loll didn't even make it one full season

Only a week after the NFL sent that "hey teams, don't be so hasty in firing coaches and wasting money" memo.

This may be the lowest point for the Broncos since before the 1977 season.

How does one league keep failing the same guy

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is in concussion protocol, per Mike McDaniel -- he's unsure when it occurred but Teddy Bridgewater will get most of the reps Wednesday if Tua doesn't clear protocol

— Marcel Louis-Jacques (@Marcel_LJ) December 26, 2022

On a play that likely happened in the first half that no spotter saw.

Not only is this season going to end in crushing fashion, because of course it always does, but we're putting a 23 year old's health in jeopardy, which is a much worse thing

lol remember the Broncos getting nationally televised games like 5 weeks in a row

how tf did Nick Foles win a Super Bowl

This Tua stuff is criminal

this one is more baffling because, unlike the Bills game, nobody seemed to notice the offending play, not the broadcasters, fans, the spotters, the team doctor, the independent neurologist, or any symptoms after said play. and yet....for the latter three roles, that's literally their job.

and it isn't that they saw a replay of his head hitting turf later on and are being precautious now, article says he has actual concussion symptoms.

unless the doctors are just being really conservative here, they need to just shut him down for the year.

I mean if they didn't after getting knocked out two games in a row I don't expect them to now. they'll probably let Tua rest this week but if the playoffs are on the line he'll be out there. good news for the Fins is they actually have one of the better backups in the league with Bridgewater and both their remaining games are vs. broken teams as well

will nathaniel hackett eventually get another NFL head coaching job y/n

i mean, josh mcdaniels managed it

no, he’ll be lucky to become a coordinator anywhere

yeah I get more of a Ben McAdoo vibe from him

when you want rodgers so bad that you hire his loser friend, and then you miss on rodgers, and so end up hiring russ.

no, he’ll be lucky to become a coordinator anywhere

i agree (and he probably needs to go save a college team now) but it's tough to underrate the staying power of a large white coaching son

He's gonna be Cam Cameron

Hackett will have a job somewhere. No doubt that some college coach would love him to be o-coordinator, if he wanted to get into that racket. They love to be able to say recruits - this guy worked with Aaron Rodgers.

Matt Rhule literally went from a laughing stock in the NFL to getting paid fat money @ Nebraska as they are so desperate for it to matter again. What a bunch of maroons. Dude was so bad, he left they traded their best players and then they almost might make the playoffs AND his backup QB has embarrassed two teams getting hired off the street.

He’ll get some of that sweet coordinator money, probably take next season off and then come back

rhule was a demonstrably good college coach who succeeded in very tough situations at both temple and baylor

not uncommon for a great college coach to fail spectacularly in the nfl (cough urban cough)

Denver fans begging team to cut or trade Wilson today lol.

Here's why that isn't going to realistically happen until 2025.

I knew the contract was bad but even I didn't realize they'd be setting a individual dead cap record in most scenarios

https://www.spotrac.com/research/nfl/financially-assessing-the-russell-wilson-disaster-1711/

amazing how national football league players in the national football league are the hardest of warriors, the real troops, but are so unmanned by 'distraction(s)' that the raiders have to physically send derek carr away from the team

Just leave, baby

feel like I say this every year but there seems to be a much higher than usual percentage of teams that are just total dumpster fires this season. Broncos and Raiders both made big moves during the offseason to win now and have wound up a combined 10-20 with both fanbases calling for the QB's head. Texans and Colts are both god awful and seem to have no plan to get better in the near future. the Packers look the worst they have since Rodgers took over and Brady's Bucs have one of the worst offenses in the league (though it's possible both make the playoffs). the Rams have fallen apart in a way no Super Bowl winner ever has in NFL history. the Cardinals and Falcons both look completely lost. the Bears have a young QB who looks like a phenom but they've still lost 8 straight games.

it's not just the losing teams either. only 11 of the NFL's 32 teams have a positive point differential. 2 of those 11 have a positive differential of less than a touchdown (including the 12-3 Minnesota Vikings). just weird shit all around

Years like this are always possible due to the restrictive hard cap and the high likelihood of QB injuries, I just think some years the league gets lucky and some it doesn't.

It is fairly ridiculous that my Fins could lose for the fifth straight game on Sunday and still clinch the 7th seed by beating the Jets the next week

Jags are a pleasant surprise.

I also think the degradation of defensive units don't help. Teams accepted that they no longer need dominant defenses to win Super Bowls, so they've allowed holes in some areas of the unit so that they can strengthen their offense.

Even the best units don't completely obliterate teams like the 2000 Ravens or the 2002 Bucs, due to all of the offense-happy rule enforcement shifts.

Mediocre defenses, you often can't trust to close out close games late.

The point differential thing w the Vikings and others is truly bizarre, really illustrates the volatility of some teams' performance.

One thing I will say is the Vikings have certainly had luck but have also made an incredible number of incredibly clutch plays in crucial moments and are also riding Justin Jefferson who is putting on a historic run right now so it's not like they just slipped and fell and ended up 12-3

Also in interviews they just think they can win now no matter what, that sort of irrational self belief is important in sports

whereas my team makes the least sense, a largely unchanged defensive unit that added Bradley Chubb is now terrible, Xavien Howard is also bad and somehow inexplicably made the Pro Bowl, which even he himself questioned, we have a QB that's only been sacked 21 times this year, but has suffered a head injury on 3 of those sacks (14% of them!), and we've had both a three game AND a four game losing streak this year and are still possibly going to make the playoffs.

plus two receivers over 1,000 yards, and yet the offense has been stalled for a month.

I guess the Fish Fade is back! :)

Jaguars run is one of those you often see when a bunch of young talent is finally starting to click, and your young QB is starting to play at the level you expected when you drafted him. they might be scary next year

One thing I will say is the Vikings have certainly had luck but have also made an incredible number of incredibly clutch plays in crucial moments and are also riding Justin Jefferson who is putting on a historic run right now so it's not like they just slipped and fell and ended up 12-3

well yeah, they're arguably one of the most clutch teams in NFL history. there are obviously a lot of decent arguments against using Pythag record as a true indicator of a team's skill and I think they pretty much all apply to the Vikings. on the other hand they do look pretty terrible for long stretches and I can see a team like the 49ers or Eagles whipping the tar outta them in the playoffs. you know like the Colts did

i'm not worried about the vikings getting smoked by the eagles or niners -- no shame in that

i'm worried about them falling out of a bye position and then getting to host green bay two weeks from now. no matter how bad the packers are or how washed rodgers is, that's nightmare material

people assume Rodgers would show up in a big game like that but the truth is he really doesn't

yes but there would be no pressure at all on him in such a situation and also the vikings are possibly cursed

Yeah they are totally playing with fire and agree they are not on the level of the Eagles or 49ers. They could get smoked by them easy, or pull another rabbit out of the hat, impossible to predict anything other than Jefferson is a problem

I'm completely at ease this season, the definition of playing with the house's money. I had them at 8/9 wins in preseason

Jags got a bit of a schedule benefit and while their defense is pretty middling, they have had some talent on that side of the ball for a couple of years. I think they hiring a decent coach did not hurt.

I think the Cowboys thought they were losing to Peterson and the Eagles with the Jags wearing all that green and black a couple weeks ago.

Raiders cutting bait on Derek Carr and sticking with McD probably won't look too smart in a few months. But hey, Carr deserves a chance to go 'somewhere' better than playing for the nutball Raiders, although it seems cruel for him to go to the Jets no matter their better roster.

i'm worried about them falling out of a bye position and then getting to host green bay two weeks from now.

well there's only one bye spot anyway now, so

Jags were the perfect team to make a "boring" hire like Doug Peterson after everything that went down

Jags were the perfect team to make a "boring" hire like Doug Peterson after everything that went down

well there's only one bye spot anyway now, so

my fact checkin cuz

(srsly tho, thank you for pointing this out. my sense of the nfl's structure is stuck at various stages of the past)

not a great first half for the philadelphia eagles

kirk cousins 1-9, 8 yards, 1 int returned for td

There goes that Vikings positive point differential

so ron rivera didn't know his team could be eliminated with a loss (which they were, when the packers later won). but that's okay, because he was so singularly focused on winning that he couldn't take 10 seconds to find out what it would require for his team to make the playoffs. so singularly focused on winning that he let carson wentz go 16-28 for 143 yards and 3 picks. so singularly focused that he has three winning seasons in his 12 as an NFL head coach. wait, the NFL has ties? never knew; i was too focused on winning

football guys: so focused on winning that it's a real challenge to get dressed in the morning

Not sure what the issue is. Only thing that matters is winning. Pretty safe to assume Ron Rivera was singularly focused on that, rather than what would happen if they lost. https://t.co/seR9pCXvbU

You need to sit down and learn how this stuff works lmao.

The head coach job is to win every game…. It’s Not to be worried about “if this team beats that team then…”

He don’t have time to gaf about all those scenarios. It’s called CONTROLLING WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL.

holy shit what just happened to Hamlin looked scary. he made a tackle, bounced back up, then suddenly fell over and is now apparently getting CPR? the ambulance is on the field. they showed Josh Allen and he was clearly crying. everyone on the sideline looking like they've seen a ghost

holy shit, this is fucked. the broadcast just went dead silent for several minutes. they just cut to the MNF booth in the middle of the game. Buck and Aikman's voices are both quivering. I've seen a lot of horrific injuries in this sport but idk this seems different

how can you ask these guys to keep playing

Jesus Christ

Not gonna seek out the replay, but what occurred? Did he nail somebody with his head or does this look like a cardiac thing?

really think they should postpone the game. really hoping he is ok, but that's a touch beyond your typical injury.

and I don't think it's a given that he's ok.

the play didn't look that bad! he didn't get hit particularly hard. he just fell over. fuck. i've never seen anything like this.

Jesus Christ. Really hope he’s ok. They need to call that game.

Yeah really didn’t look like anything much at all pretty standard tackle and fall, which makes it even more scary

Game postponed/suspended wow

has to be cardiac-related.

if Joe Buck is to be believed, he was clinically dead for almost ten minutes.

Sure seems that way…

I’m told Damar Hamlin has a pulse, but is not breathing on his own. He is being transported to UC.

Needed AED and CPR on the field.
