America's favorite dystopian pastime - 'out of the darkness' NFL 2023-24

ive seen worse

If Trevor Lawrence doesn't pan out that 2021 QB draft class is looking to be an all time flop group

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.

Colts QB - got them a couple wins.

well that was the most insane pick I've ever seen

hate to slam the pride of beaver falls but c'mon no one cares what an 80yo drunk thinks about the jets

Namath blasts QB Wilson as Jets reaffirm faith

good god Green Bay is getting their asses kicked

Such a shame.

Packers' o-line leaking like a sieve. Detroit is rolling. Nice to see.

this mix of uniforms is appealing

classic. the lions have been wasting a great uniform for years by sucking.

Jordan Love just does not seem in sync with anyone

is it a good sign when every time they show your head coach he looks like he is crying

Lol what a whiny bitch LaFleur is

https://x.com/JuMosq/status/1707603476103225488?s=20

I've seen this look before from college guys who get rejected by the girl they like at the party. where your feelings are really raw but you don't want to appear vulnerable so instead you get all snappy and pissed off even though you can't hide the emotion on your face. its not a good place to be and I think a head coach has to be tougher than that. truth is LaFleur's Packers teams are getting their asses kicked a lot, even during Rodgers' two MVP years they had a lot of games like this. in fact all 3 of his playoff losses were games where the offense looked completely broken and didn't get on track until it was much too late. that never happened during the McCarthy years. something is clearly wrong here dude you gotta figure it out

main problems for the packers offense seem to be: leaky offensive line, overconfidence in love's ability to make something out of nothing, lack of committal to the running game (this probably because jones is coming off injury and dillon just has no juice)

at least the receivers are better this year

true but that's how they looked last year with Rodgers too. feel like a lot of their success in the Rodgers' era was thanks to the near-psychic connection he had with guys like Jennings, Jordy, and Davante and a lot of their failures in the playoffs were because defenses knew exactly who he was gonna target 15 times a game. feels like one of those situations where GB is just gonna have to eat a bad year and hope the cumulative experience pays off next year when hopefully Love is gonna know where his guys are when he's in trouble.

they're 27th in rushing; pretty tough for anyone, let alone an inexperienced QB, to succeed when the defense knows you have to throw all the time

see also the pittsburgh steelers

see also the Vikings except the QB is old

last year the packers had more going on in the running game with jones, dillon (who wasn't so bad last year, was he?), and a healthier bakhtiari

hate to say it but I don't think Bakhtiari is coming back this year

Broncos Bears surprisingly entertaining

lol bears

can’t blame fields for that

three of the four AFC north teams failed to score a touchdown today

Yeah the Browns played like shit today.

this Jets game is actually getting good

The Browns deserve karmic punishment

Is Bakhtiari just done period?

its been a brutal 3 years for him

you know what I get the whole Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce thing. hes pretty cute

aww

well there's the Zach Wilson you remember

good lord the Jets just got jobbed on a really bad defensive holding call. ref didn't even throw the flag until the dude picked it off

oh my god if anyone bet the moneyline lmao at that play

"Oh man, the social media is going crazy," Murphy said when asked about the league's embrace of the Swift-Kelce storyline. "And I'm not hating against it. That's the world we're living in. Is she going to come to this game? We're locked in, but that would be something. I've been watching her since I was a kid. That would be cool, for sure.

low key ice cold

why do people insist on putting the NYFG on national television

Daniel Jones might actually be worse than Zach Wilson

ahahahah

mathematically I think you go for it on that 4th and 31

ok I've never seen Witherspoon before I think that might be the fastest dude I've ever seen in the NFL

Watching Daniel Jones attempt to show he is a $40M/year quarterback is extremely satisfying.

BILLS imo

v sad for Tre'Davious White, though

https://www.vulture.com/article/taylor-swift-jets-game-private-jet.html

Okay, no one is saying Taylor Swift is maybe-dating football player Travis Kelce with the sole purpose of one day watching a New York Jets game from the comfort of a private suite in order to permanently bury the emissions data about her private-jet usage and catapult pictures of her and the Deadpool universe to the top of Google results instead. But she, like the shrewdest of celebs and most humble of bloggers alike, is almost certainly not ignorant of a too-good-to-be-true coincidence of search-engine optimization.

Personal behavioral discipline is not the answer to systemic, catastrophic pollution. Swift quitting that shit will not solve it. There is a way to start mitigation, but who has to do that shit? We have to take it away.

I know they were playing the Hatcats, but Justin Fields looked awesome in the first half last night. I fell asleep at half time, but the Bears were looking really good.

Go figure...

Very satisfying Jags win over the Bills.

My Fins are 4-1 for the first time since 2003.

Achane has 460 yards rushing on the year

On 38 carries

Tua def a bit off today
