would be nice to believe an 0-2 team is a contender
― ciderpress, Monday, 18 September 2023 03:50 (one year ago) link
They're mostly 0-2 because they've committed 7 turnovers in two games.
I just can't see that persisting all season long.
Their defense though needs work.
Idk Sam Fran is one I'm pretty confident in the NFC atm

mac jones actually looked pretty good last night! or maybe i am just way too conditioned to jets' "quarterback play"

Somehow, the Falcons are now 2-0. I went to yesterday's game, they were incredibly frustrating through three quarters then pulled a win out of their collective ass. I think they have the pieces, but play calling is atrocious.

I was at a bar of Packers fans who were actually kind of incredulous that the back of the end zone TD was overruled. in real time I thought he was probably out but on replay he clearly looked in
frustrating game for GB too, Ridder probably should've been picked off 3-4 times but we kept dropping them. but they dropped a pretty bad pass by Love at the end too. all told Jordan Love actually looks pretty solid
― frogbs, Monday, 18 September 2023 14:32 (one year ago) link
Yeah, overruling that TD was pretty outrageous. I think that actually lit a fire under Atlanta. Not surprisingly, the crowd was probably close to half Packers fans.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Monday, 18 September 2023 14:35 (one year ago) link
Bijon Robinson looked like a total beast (though I will point out it's not particularly difficult to run all over the GB defense). he also helped one of our players up after a play...kinda irritating when you're trying hard to dislike someone and he turns out to be a nice guy

two MNFs, two gruesome injuries. really awful what happened to Chubb.

also gotta say Watson not really playing like a top paid quarterback, with Chubb out he's gonna have to be better than this
― frogbs, Tuesday, 19 September 2023 13:24 (one year ago) link
Watson had some good moments but Pittsburgh had him constantly bottled up.
good, fuck him!

he hasn't really had a particularly impressive game since the suspension and is getting sacked a ton
― frogbs, Tuesday, 19 September 2023 16:08 (one year ago) link
He doesn't strike me as a quarterback who has a vision of the whole field or the ability to keep his head, both of which are essential to greatness imho.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Tuesday, 19 September 2023 16:10 (one year ago) link
In contrast to, say, Trevor Lawrence, who has all the makings of an elite QB.
Maybe cover Tyreek Hill idk

Packers helluva rally
Yea Jordan Love was beasting it in the 4th
― frogbs, Sunday, 24 September 2023 22:03 (one year ago) link
Pack receivers were not doing Love too many favors too, he had at least 4-5 times where he hit the guy in the numbers and got nada.
What a beat down on the Broncos. I guess Payton did not do good enough bounties this week. Anyone that had fantasy teams playing against Dolphins got rolled. In my league Mostert and Hill combined for like 75 points today.
This is literally the worst I have ever seen the Bears. What a grease fire. They have generally been crappy on offense, but at least competent in other parts of the game...now they got nothin'.
― earlnash, Sunday, 24 September 2023 22:53 (one year ago) link
Yea Love’s stats don’t look too great but he’s been pretty impressive. Seems to be getting the ball where it needs to be but his receivers just aren’t making the plays. That flea flicker on 4th down totally would’ve worked but the throw back was botched. Also GB is down their two best offensive players so who knows maybe they’re gonna start putting up numbers soon
― frogbs, Sunday, 24 September 2023 23:12 (one year ago) link
Actually starting to wonder if Chicago would’ve ruined Mahomes had they picked him. They’ve got that Browns thing going on where every QB they get instantly turns to garbage
― frogbs, Sunday, 24 September 2023 23:21 (one year ago) link
I always think that luck in the draw is a bigger part of NFL success than people believe.
Would Terry Bradshaw been great if he would have been drafted by the Saints?
Would Tom Brady been great if he would have been drafted by the Browns?
That said, I have been middling on Fields since he was drafted myself. Running QBs can look great in stretches and then completely lose it. Don't doubt that the Bears total dysfunction is big part of that situation, but I also tend to doubt if Fields would have gone to say the Eagles he would have success like Jalen Hurts.
I kinda think Stroud might finally be the decent OSU pro QB, but he also looks and plays much more like a trad drop back QB and is pretty darn accurate throwing the ball.

even as a donkey fan i kinda wanted fins to get the scoring rekkid but wahtever. vance johnson may be a great guy but to expect anything much better is like, idiocy? cmon team, we know what we know, he was our HEAD COACH wtf
otoh, wade phillips was our head coach when i was practically a kid and well, he sucked then, but later...
anyhow 70-20, i drink it up. also, hire wade phillips again lol

It says something that the greatest bears quarterback of my lifetime other than Jim McMahon by default is a choice between Jay Cutler, Rex Grossman, and Erik Kramer.

its clearly Cutler

i'd say the choice of cutler as the best bears QB isn't that obvious, just because of the admittedly objectively hilarious disappointment of his era. sexy rexy helped them or i guess didn't get in their way en route to the super bowl, and erik kramer had that one lone gold season.
it probably is cutler though, the comedy value alone is a plus on top of the cannon arm.

with so much hype too. lots of pro-bowl caliber non-QBs taken in the top half of the 2021 draft, Micah Parsons went the pick after Justin Fields

Seeing the Broncos get rolled, reminds me of a game I remember well as a teenager.

Eric Dickerson's best game as a Colt.
Stupid Colts let Chris Chandler get awauy (who also at one point ended up a Bear) then eventually traded Chris Hinton, Andre Rison and another first round pick for GD Jeff George. Sure...trade your right tackle, best WR (who was a rookie at that point) and then wonder why your young QB sucks.
