Title: NFL week 1. Happy New Year!
Post by: Reacher on September 10, 2023, 12:07:33 PM
Burrow nearly threw a pick on an underthrow. Glad to see some NFL! Go Bears!

I picked Cinci to win SB but I think Cleveland gives them everything they want today.

Defenses getting after QBs early.

Carolina with a weak run up the middle on 4th. Let’s get their overall #1 pick!

Especially liked it since it wasn’t Miles Sanders, on my fantasy team.

Lamar throws a bad pick. I’m telling you, he’s regressed. Not a particularly good passer.

Bryce Young throws first pick.

Anthony Richardson starts 6 for 7 and has a TD run.

Would be hilarious to see AZ win. A franchise that is actively trying to go 0-17.

A lot of lackluster play and low-scoring to start. A direct correlation to no one playing in the preseason anymore IMO.

Agreed. But Brock Purdy has looked really good and the 9er WRs sure can block downfield.

No quarterback in the league enjoys a better supporting cast than Brock Purdy.

All-World quarterback Trevor Lawrence coughs it up for a Colts touchdown.

All-World quarterback Brock Purdy holds on to the ball too long and coughs it up.

Lamar with 3 careless turnovers today. And those are only the ones I’ve seen.

Don't forget All-World Kirk Cousins doing the same.

And yet Trey Lance is a Cowboy.

Post by: Reacher on September 10, 2023, 03:07:01 PM
And yet Trey Lance is a Cowboy.

Maybe because he isn’t that good (yet). Purdy is “fine,” but I think he’s likely a system quarterback who has an incredible support structure.
Title: Re: NFL week 1. Happy New Year!
Post by: Reacher on September 10, 2023, 03:08:26 PM
Trey Lance was a classic case of a GM  (or coach?) falling in love with an athlete. Just as Pace fell in love with Mitch and his Camry.

The 49er, Jag and Raven all seem to be doing fine despite their QBs miscues.

Superior rosters to the their opponents. Colts and Texans both probably bottom 4 teams.

If I was Jets coach this would have been my interview after the Rodgers injury

(Give a smirk) "Heh Aaron Rodgers is a great player but this is not a 1 man team! We got good solid players. We're gonna play defense, offense and special teams and were gonna win this dam* football game!"

They’re saying ankle, but that sure looked like an Achilles to me.

That’s what I’m thinking. Could be his last ever play.

At least Zach Wilson isn’t our problem.

Thought the Jets were done once Rodgers went down but Josh Allen had other ideas.

Tuned in just in time for the TD.

I imagine Rodgers will push it another year but he’s gonna be 40 and has taken a pounding the last few years.

Funny that Leonard Floyd was the one who did the deed.

I can't imagine why he would. Go through Achilles rehab, then an offseason workout regimen, then dealing with the rigors of an NFL schedule?

Fuck that. He should retire. Seems like a no brainer. He has plenty of money, and plenty of opportunities to make money
Title: Re: NFL week 1. Happy New Year!
Post by: Jobu on September 12, 2023, 04:06:53 PM
And, the Jets paid for 4 plays and the Packers got fucked too. So that's awesome.

If he can be ready to go by game one next year, I could easily seen him playing. If longer than that, I’d lean towards him retiring.

I also saw the irony in Floyd (as a Buffalo Bill) possibly ending his career.
Title: Re: NFL week 1. Happy New Year!

I mean, I guess the other factor would be the Jets. Would they want to take that chance again?

If Wilson is mediocre, yes, they would.

I'm sure the Jet could trade for another QB.

Post by: Miles Leonard on September 12, 2023, 05:12:12 PM
Rodgers is stubborn. No way he wants to go out like this. He’ll give it another shot to try and prove the doubters wrong. At the end of the day, I’d roll with one-legged Rodgers over Zach Wilson or any other scrap heap option they can dig for.
