NFL 2022 Season - Continued…

Ravens have been fantastic in the second half. Three possessions, three TDs. Lamar has been a completely different player in the second half.

Bucs catch a huge break and get a PI on a deep pass that was badly under thrown.

Bucs are absolutely self destructing in the red zone.

Ravens have been fantastic in the second half. Three possessions, three TDs. Lamar has been a completely different player in the second half.

The stars of the 2nd half was the Ravens offensive line. They were opening big holes for the running game and clearing space for Jackson. The Bucs defense also looked quite slow

I thought Brady was pretty decent. He just doesn't have much of anything around him

Kinda like Pete Rose made the most "outs" of any batter in MLB history. When you play till you're 45 you're going to have a few of those records. Ben Roethlisberger's record (sacks) is far more telling

Just wanted to repeat my post from July 29th...

Tom Brady's career ends this season.

Tampa Bay will not make the playoffs.

Tom Brady will be sacked 30+ times in just 10 total games.

Tom Brady will miss at least 6 games due to injuries from being hit so many times.

Tampa Bay's best O-Lineman, G Ali Marpet, 2021 Pro Bowler, retired.

Tampa Bay's other Starting Guard, Alex Cappa, signed with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Tampa Bay's starting Center, Ryan Jensen, suffered a season-ending knee injury this week.

With scrubs equal to what the Bengals had last season for Burrow, Brady will be running for his life and dumping the ball off on short passes the entire season to open or not open Receivers.

They won't have a running game.

They won't have time to throw long passes, one thing that's already an issue for Brady.

Tom Brady will not survive this season.

[Boston Red]

I think Tampa will make the playoffs. They'll stumble through and win that terrible division.

[Assembly Hall]

7-10 wins that division?

New Orleans is all-in with Dalton.

New Orleans is all-in with Dalton.

Or Atlanta. They looked like crap against the Bengals but they played to their strength on defense. With their heavy run offense they could sneak through if everyone else collapses.

Newsflash from June 15th, 2027...."Facing bankruptcy, 50-year old Tom Brady tries to make a comeback as a backup for the Jacksonville Jaguars."

[Kingspoint]

From NBC Sports w/ NBC Sports' comments:

ESPN’s Dan Graziano reports “there's chatter in league circles” Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett could be fired if Denver doesn’t win its Week 8 game in London. Hackett has been at the center of the Broncos’ 2-5 start, with Denver leading the league in penalties and ranking last in points per game (14.3). The Broncos have lost four straight under Hackett, a stretch that's produced just five touchdowns. The Broncos' new ownership wasn't in place when Hackett was hired, leading to speculation Hackett will only get one season in Denver. With DC Ejiro Evero lurking as an interim option, a midseason firing is in play for Hackett. A loss to the Jaguars in London could lead to changes going into Denver’s bye.

From NBC Sports w/ NBC Sports' comments:

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Browns RB Kareem Hunt is available for a fourth-round pick. The James Robinson and Christian McCaffrey trades have the Browns looking to move on from Hunt, who is on pace for career lows in a contract year. Hunt’s $1.35 million salary is team-friendly but trading Hunt would save Cleveland $200K in per-game roster bonuses. Cleveland has also received “multiple calls” on CB Greedy Williams ahead of next week’s trade deadline.

Feels like Dallas is a real Super Bowl contender. They're maybe #3 choice in the NFC, but definitely in the mix. Certainly not where I expected them to be after that dreadful opening performance against Tampa and Dak's injury.

If the ‘Boys really did win a Super Bowl this year, Cooper Rush should never have to buy a drink in the DFW area again. Him going 4-1 during Dak’s injury was incredible.

They finally had Dalton Schultz for the first time this season. He's the glue to the Offense. He gives it balance and flow. It was really smooth with Schultz in it today getting mixed in for a reception at timely moments.

[Hillsdale87]

It's gotta be either him or Allen. I thought Hurts was a little underrated coming in but wasn't expecting this.

Vikings just traded a 23 2nd round pick and a 24 3rd rounder for Detroit TE T J Hockenson and two fourth round picks in 23 and 24. This comes just after learning that Irv Smith is out 8-10 weeks with a high ankle sprain. Kwesi was aggressive in filling in roster holes. Giving up two high picks must have been difficult for him.
They could have just resigned last years TE #1 Tyler Conklin, who signed with the Jets this off-season and is playing well for them. Hockenson should be an upgrade. I think he is a top ten TE. He might even be the number two passing option after JJ.

I agree. It’s a sign of support for their other WRs. Claypool’s best year was his rookie year. He did have some big plays, and Chicago needs more offensive weapons, and that’s why they got a high #2. Potential is in the eye of the beholder.

I could definitely see Brady retiring, although I’ve thought that for 5 years now so who knows.


Rodgers, I could see him forcing a trade. You can tell he’s disgruntled again, accepts none of the blame for their record and would love a shot to go elsewhere and prove that it wasn’t his fault.

Tampa Bay punter just booted one 74 yards. Wow.

[Sea Ray]

Aaron Rodgers has a real problem, as do the Packers. AR has a deadcap hit of nearly $100mill next yr. I don't think he has a choice but to retire unless he wants to play another season as a cellar dweller. That said, the contract is "tradable" after next year

[KoryMac5]

That Kyler Murray contract looks worse and worse every day...

[The Operator]

Wow.

The Rams dominate The Bucs for 3 quarters and then fail to achieve a single first down in the 4th. Meanwhile Brady woke up and decided to play again, The Bucs go ahead with a last second TD in a lightning quick drive with no timeouts.

[The Operator]

Bucs or Falcons may very well win that division with an 8-9 record.

[adkindo]

Bucs or Falcons may very well win that division with an 8-9 record.

nah, Bucs will win the division with a record over .500. Superman returned in the final minutes of that game....that final drive was vintage Brady. Btw, he threw the winning TD on the drive before and Miller just dropped it wide open in the back of the endzone. Look for Cade Otton to become a bigger factor for Brady in the 2nd half of the season. Brady has been a little lost without Gronk....but was ok with Brate, then he went down....but Otton has been coming on strong in recent weeks. I would also expect to see Rachaad White taking more snaps from Fournette in the 2nd half of the season as he is proving to be more of a receiving threat out of the backfield.

Still, they will struggle to win in the playoffs because they simply cannot run the ball. The difference between this team and the other Brady Bucs teams is the OLine is mediocre, and I think they made a critical mistake by not bringing back Suh for the run defense. Suh did not put up big numbers, but him and Vita Vea were just unmovable and stuffed most teams running games making them one dimensional. We finally got some of our secondary back today which helped, but will need Joe Tryon-Shoyinka to step up to fill to void of Shaq Barrett (out ACL). Finally Brady has been hurt by Julio Jones being injured, Godwin still looks to be around 75% of pre injury, Gage has not played to the level expected.....which has allowed teams to key on Mike Evans.

Sauce Gardner is having a phenomenal year. That whole Jets D is awesome.

Depends on what their goals are. To show respectability for this year maybe so. They need to stop using older retread QB's in the future. They need to be 100% sure Ehlinger is not the future. Do they know that already? Even still, finishing in the middle of the pack will not (usually) get you a franchise QB in the draft.

[KoryMac5]

I could see the Colts going full tank here... Put Ryan and Taylor on IR. Hope to get into the QB sweepstakes.

To me, if you're still in the playoff hunt halfway through the season (which amazingly they still are), you have the responsibility to try and make the playoffs.

The Bills situation reminds me of the Browns last year. Imo the Browns should have benched an injured and struggling Baker for Case Keenum

Imo the Bills should bench Josh Allen 2-3 weeks for Case Keenum so as not to risk anything more severe happening to him. We'll see if they do.


But that to me is why paying these QB's these humungous salaries is a big risk

So, with the Colts placing Leonard on IL (must miss at least 4 more weeks), is this a wait-and-see approach to what happens over the next four weeks before calling it a season and rebooting, or are they rebooting now? Either is a wise move. Just asking. There's 10 weeks to evaluate. Leonard needs no evaluation and is the most important person on the franchise as he's likely to be it's best player each of the next five seasons, at least.

How about Geno Smith? Guy had another solid game today, and almost single handedly tried to steal the game late in the 4thQ. I love seeing him finally get another chance and balling out, but it also makes me a little sad to know a large part of his career was wasted on the bench. I have always argued he is one of the best 32 QB's in the NFL....and he is playing like a Top 10 QB in the league this season. I am sure he holds a decent amount of blame for early failures, but I will always believe the biggest problem was going to the Jets when that fat pile of human feces Rex Ryan was the Head Coach.

WVU has had some really good college QB's over the last several decades.....Jeff Hostetler, Major Harris, Marc Bulger, Pat White, etc., but I have always thought Geno was as talented as any of them, and his talents are more NFL level than all of them. I still believe that and Hoss has 2x SB rings, and him and Bulger were NFL Pro Bowlers.

[Betterread]

Signature win for the Vikes. Down 10-27, and won 33-30 in OT. Allen was awesome….for three quarters. Then, two interceptions and a fumble in the end zone in 4th Q and OT. Oh And the NFL love the Bills. Refs did all they could to help. Changed a TD catch by Jefferson to non-TD, missed multiple early starts by Buffalo Oline. And then after looking for many minutes at multiple big Vikings plays under two minutes and OT, then don’t review a big Buffalo catch/drop that put them in FG range to tie in regulation. Jets said the same thing after their game.
But the Vikes don’t worry about these crappy breaks. Kevin O’Connell has them ready to play the next play after a bad call. The are really good at the end of games, which is why they are 8-1.
JJ and Dalvin were awesome. Game changing plays.

This is worse than Art Shell II.

[Rojo Rijo]

As I expected, Kadarius Toney is making his presence felt on the Chiefs. Without the services of Hardman and an injury to JuJu, Toney stepped up and led the Chiefs WRs Sunday against the Jags.

1st week - 9 snaps, 2 targets, 2 receptions, 12 yards
2nd week - 28 snaps, 5 targets, 4 receptions, 57 yards, 1 TD, 2 carries, 33 yards.

If the #s arent enough to impress you I challenge you to watch the couple of highlight plays he had. The ball he caught down the sideline in double coverage is just another example of some of the elite skills he possesses.

In only his second week he turned just 28 snaps into 6 touches on 7 looks for 90 yards and a touchdown. I know he still has a ways to go but ever since this trade occurred i've thought that in a month or so everyone would be looking back at that deal going WOW, the Chiefs committed armed robbery.

The facemask directly caused the fumble. If you review the play for a fumble, and you see something illegal that caused the fumble, then it’s not a fumble.
NFL referees had a bad week. What will the NFL do about it? Hollow apologies don’t mean anything. NFL needs to commit to minimum levels of quality. Like out of bounds, # of men on the field, 30 second clock, no breaking the line of scrimmage before the snap for a start. They got these simple things wrong more than 5x in the Vikes- Bills game.

I admittedly don't watch Washington football often, but I've ran into a few Taylor Heinicke games and always come away impressed. Not that it's pretty, just a guy that finds a way or makes a valiant attempt.

Also, hard to be worse on 3rd down D than Philly was tonight. Washington had the ball for pretty much that entire game.

I hate the Eagles and wanted them to lose, but that last personal foul was just an insane call.

Why? When a Qb takes a knee you can’t tackle him. Murray and Rodgers have done the “quick knee” on mulitiple occasions. I’ve seen Murray even fake it, and when the defenders paused, accelerated around them. Totally unfair in his case, as he’s already so hard to tackle.

[Stray]

That PF wasn't a flagrant hit by any stretch, but defender had a couple steps to pull up and didn't till he was already hitting him. Maybe a loss of awareness?

Titans OC Todd Downing arrested for DUI early Friday morning (https://www.wsmv.com/2022/11/18/titans-oc-todd-downing-arrested-dui-early-friday-morning/)


On the heels of a big primetime victory over the Green Bay Packers, the offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans was pulled over Friday morning and arrested for driving under the influence.

Todd Downing was pulled over in Williamson County by a Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper around 2:30 a.m. on Friday for speeding. The trooper reported Downing showed ‘signs of impairment’ and placed him under the arrest. He was booked into Williamson County Jail just after 4:30 a.m. and released a few hours later.

Downing was charged with speeding and driving under the influence.

As I expected, Kadarius Toney is making his presence felt on the Chiefs. Without the services of Hardman and an injury to JuJu, Toney stepped up and led the Chiefs WRs Sunday against the Jags.

1st week - 9 snaps, 2 targets, 2 receptions, 12 yards
2nd week - 28 snaps, 5 targets, 4 receptions, 57 yards, 1 TD, 2 carries, 33 yards.

If the #s arent enough to impress you I challenge you to watch the couple of highlight plays he had. The ball he caught down the sideline in double coverage is just another example of some of the elite skills he possesses.

In only his second week he turned just 28 snaps into 6 touches on 7 looks for 90 yards and a touchdown. I know he still has a ways to go but ever since this trade occurred i've thought that in a month or so everyone would be looking back at that deal going WOW, the Chiefs committed armed robbery. Cheetah 2.0.

and in game 3 he goes out with a hamstring issue after 1 target. As talented as Toney is he’s one of the more fragile ones.

Here we go again.

I mentioned after the Watson signing that NFL Owners wanted to shun the Browns and distance themselves from that ridiculous contract. When asked for the source, I actually couldn't find it, but linked an article that I thought was my source, and it was only a "sense" of that writer at the time. I also gleaned from my own feelings from the franchises that it must have credibility, and as it turns out, it seems that there is.

NFLPA Alleging Collusion Over Fully Guaranteed QB Contracts

November 22nd, 2022 at 10:36pm CST by Adam La Rose

The Browns’ acquisition of Deshaun Watson was the most controversial storyline of the 2022 offseason, in no small part due to the nature of the contract he signed upon being traded to Cleveland. That five-year, $230MM deal was fully guaranteed, leading many to wonder if a new precedent had been set for high-end quarterbacks in future deals. League owners were reportedly upset over the fact that Watson – given the legal battle he was facing at the time over allegations of sexual misconduct which ultimately led to an 11-game suspension to begin his Browns tenure – received such as deal far eclipsing even the one Kirk Cousins signed in Minnesota in 2018 (three years, $84MM) which was also fully guaranteed.

“It’s like, ‘Damn, I wish they hadn’t guaranteed the whole contract.’ I don’t know that he should’ve been the first guy to get a fully guaranteed contract,” Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said in March. “To me, that’s something that is groundbreaking, and it’ll make negotiations harder with others.”

Remarks such as those have led the NFLPA to accuse the league of collusion on the matter of full guarantees, as detailed by The Athletic’s Kayln Kahler (subscription required). The union has filed a system arbitration proceeding which will be overseen by Christopher Droney (Twitter links via Mark Maske of the Washington Post). Such action will take place confidentially, which at this point obscures what direct evidence (if any) the NFLPA has to make its case.

In the months following the Watson deal, two mega-contracts were handed out: Kyler Murray‘s extension in Arizona (five years, $230.5MM), and Denver’s long-term investment in Russell Wilson (five years, $245MM). While each pact contains sizeable guarantees, neither come near the figure the Browns handed Watson. As a result, it appeared that the league was making a concerted effort to distance themselves from Cleveland and make the Watson deal an outlier. Per a league memo distributed to team owners and executives in the wake of the allegations, the NFLPA is arguing that “[t]he expectation was that fully guaranteed contracts would now become the competition driven norm for the top players in the League, including quarterbacks, negotiating new contracts,” and that “NFL owners and/or League executives discussed not agreeing to any additional player contracts with fully guaranteed salaries” at the August owners meeting.

Most notably, the union is requesting that the arbitrator allow “certain quarterbacks who have been adversely affected by the collusive agreement” to exit their existing contracts. That could include passers like Murray and Wilson, but also Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. The latter is technically scheduled for free agency this coming offseason, but is universally expected to receive the franchise tag in the absence of a long-term deal. The sticking point in negotiations from the summer was the degree to which the Ravens would guarantee Jackson’s second contract.

If successful, the union would achieve an entirely unprecedented feat in having existing contracts voided and/or damages awarded. For that reason (in addition to the lack of known concrete evidence in their case), Kahler’s sources are highly skeptical that such action will take place. As one executive stressed, league owners remain adamant that the NFL does not follow other major North American sports leagues in guaranteeing player contracts in full across the board. While this news is certainly noteworthy, it is not entirely surprising. While speaking to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk last month, outgoing NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith spoke about the potential for legal action on the point of collusion.

“Sometimes your best evidence comes from people who make comments that look like they are careless but are actually rooted in something factual,” he said against the backdrop of the league’s fall meetings taking place. “I am being a little bit cagey, but anytime we see what has been occurring in the markets and we hear comments that validate those concerns, we have never shied away from exercising both our legal rights and our collective bargaining rights to protect our players and people shouldn’t be surprised if something happens in the near future.”


I can gaurantee you one thing, Wilson and Murry won't be looking to get out of their contracts, while the NFL will point to those contracts as to why they shouldn't be giving that much gauranteed money to anyone (maybe Burrow, Herbert and Mahomes, but that's it).

[Kingspoint]

I wonder if Zach Wilson's problems have been more related to Cedric Ogbuehi being his Starting Right Tackle in recent weeks, while his Starting Left Tackle, Mekhi Becton is out for the season and another Starter, George Fant is on IR. Duane Brown had been out, but returned, while Conor McDermott, who filled in for a couple of these Starters was just signed by the Patriots off of the Jets' practice squad (ensuring that Ogbuehi will have to continue to Start...nice move Belichick). New England did lose two Starters (Andrews and Wynn) to their own O-Line in the win over the Jets.

[Sea Ray]

Didn't Kirk Cousins get a fully guaranteed contract? I don't know that Watson is the first

Wilson and Murray are probably the two worst contracts in the NFL

Even though I'm not a Lions fan I feel it's a team that finally deserves to have some success. 1991 was the last time they won a playoff game and never been to a Super Bowl.

Why did they throw on 3rd-and-1 to stop the clock before kicking their FG giving Josh Allen time to beat them?The Bills had all their timeouts at the time, so they would've stopped the clock with a third down stop, but I agree with trying to run it there.

[KoryMac5]

Texans in full tank mode...Kyle Allen with 29 yds passing as Miami is crushing them 27-0

[Kingspoint]

Their HC said that they are basically putting him on ice, that his career isn't over, but it's probably over for this season, that the lockerroom doesn't hate him, although he acknowledges that they aren't happy with him right now. So, Mike White gets a chance to win the starting job for good. It's not likely it happens, but it could. They will re-evaluate everything at the end of the season after they've had a long look at Mike White.

There are so many great storylines in the NFL this year that help us forget about some of the ugly ones.

Brian Robinson given the gameball in the Commanders lockerroom yesterday was heartwarming. The players and coaches on the Commanders are a great team to root for. Right now at 7-5, they are in the playoffs. I hope they get in. They still haven't had DE Chase Young play this season, but he's getting closer. The former #2 overall pick has missed 20 straight games to an ACL tear, but he looks like he'll be back in a week or two. Will have to watch the injury reports this week to see if he gets in some limited or even full practices.

[Kingspoint]

Not sure what the Jets do with Zach Wilson...Mike White has it cooking today.

White will start the rest of the season. After it's made clear that it's Mike White's team for the rest of the season, Wilson will get invited back to the team as the 2nd backup, not active on gamedays.

From NBC Sports w/ NBC Sports' comments:

Falcons coach Arthur Smith said "We'll evaluate everything. Every job," when asked about the possibility of Desmond Ridder getting some starts. The Falcons are on bye in Week 14. While this isn't exactly a smoking gun saying that a change is coming, Falcons beat writers have pointed out that this is a very different tone than Smith usually takes with them when asked about Ridder. Pressed, Smith said that "We have to get over this hump. We have to look at everything. There will be changes made.” Ridder has not taken a snap yet this season and it would appear to be pretty important for the Falcons to get some kind of evaluation on him before moving on to next season's draft.

Lot's of injuries to the Ravens and Dolphins this Sunday, not to mention the 49ers, too.

Dolphins lose their Starting RT, who was placed on IR. Tua left the game early, but appears to be ready for next week. No guarantee that LT Armstead will be back for Week 15. Their Offense was a disaster without him against the 49ers. Waddle injured and did not return vs the 49ers.

LB Patrick McQueen, the Ravens best Defensive player, screamed in agony and left the game against the Broncos. It appears the Ravens dodged a bullet with Jackson as far as a season-ending injury is concerned, but he'll certainly miss next week's game vs the Steelers.

49ers can handle the loss of Garrapolo, but it can't be understated that he isn't replaceable for playoff games. It's one thing to come into a game for Mr. Irrelevant when the other team hasn't prepared for you. It's quite another to see what he does next week when a Defense has set up a gameplan against you. It's quite another with the pressure of a playoff game. 49ers had been looking like an NFC Championship Game likely participant, but not anymore as the Vikings, Eagles and Cowboys are all better right now after the loss of Garrapolo. They still win the Division and are the likely #3 Seed thanks to the incompetent NFC South, but they will have to get by the Seahawks, Giants or Washington in the 1st Round with a Rookie at QB. Each offers a different challenge for the Niners.

He has a season full of them.

Which season?

[adkindo]

and just like that, the GOAT shows up when it counts....there is only one.

[UKFlounder]

The Saints RB (Ingram?) who ran out of bounds instead of getting the 1 more yard for a first down should be cut.

And whoever decided to throw it on 3rd and 1 should suffer too.

Awful by the Saints and the Bucs took advantage

That Pi on Evans was a joke for the first TB TD. If they called it that tight for every team, scoring would be up 20 pts per team.
just take your gift and go home quietly. The NFL has man love for Brady and they still are only 6-6.

[Kingspoint]

Which season?

This one.

Actually he was a very controversial #1 pick. I commented on it at the time. As a Bengal fan, I loved it

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but...if any game was rigged it was that one and those two plays you mentioned are exhibit 1 and 2. The RB runs out of bounds untouched short of the first down and then they throw an incomplete pass. That's how you fix a game

Interesting overreaction.

Probably didn’t help that AJ Brown went off against them on Sunday.

Head-scratching. It wasn't the G.M. who didn't want to pay A. J. Brown his money.

Anyone who can get what they've gotten out of Tannehill is a genius.

It also wasn't predictable when Henry would have his last great season before he fell off of a cliff, though it seems like he's been on borrowed time for four seasons. It was like trying to predict when Lynch would fall off the cliff.

Not interesting when you consider Tennessee is an average team with a mediocre QB.

Why trade a #1 WR when you have a terrible QB? I mean, I get it. WR's are SOOOO expensive these days but there was still a window there.

I can't think of a G.M. who would entertain making that trade without a direct command from Ownership to do so.

I read some Titans forums during the game after the vicious hit and knockout of Byrd and nearly everyone was mad as hell about Brown being let go, even though Byrd proved himself hanging onto the ball after the hit. Fans were ready with pitchforks, and Frankenstein (the G. M.) got the blame from Ownership when it was Dr. Frankenstein (the Ownership) who should have gotten the axe (in the movie both did, but Frankenstein survived, as will this G.M. who was fired, who did a great job with the Titans).

You said it yourself...an average team with a mediocre QB that was the #1 seed last season while coming up with some unexpected playoff wins the last few years along with incredible regular season wins. They are still set to win their Division this season. I know....that's not saying much, but they aren't winning it the way that Tampa Bay is winning theirs. That is a great G. M. who can accomplish this.

Was Von Miller's knee not torn a couple weeks ago?

Apparently they did exploratory surgery to find out why his knee was hurting and discovered the tear.

...and will start Thursday if the other dude, whatever his name is, can't go.

From NBC Sports w/ NBC Sports' comments:

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Falcons will start Desmond Ridder in Week 15 against the Saints. With the Falcons on a bye this week, Ridder will have some extra time to prepare for his first career start. Head coach Arthur Smith left open the possibility of Ridder starting after the team's Week 13 loss to the Steelers and now appears to have made the switch. Through the first 13 games of the season, quarterback Marcus Mariota has led the Falcons to a 5-8 record; throwing for 2,219 yards, 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions while rushing for another 84-438-4. The Falcons selected Ridder in the third round of this year's draft after he compiled over 10,000 passing yards and 80 touchdowns during his career at Cincinnati. Ridder will be on the fantasy radar as a low-end QB2 when he suits up in Week 15.

Mayfield stumbling through the 5 plays he's able to memorize should really add to the quality of play inherent in Thursday Night Football games.

He's just not tall enough IMO. I don't know the Panther's roster, but is any of the QBs down there surrounded with the talent? Was it all Mayfield?

Man oh man The Raiders just find ways to lose.

If anyone can get the most out of Mayfield it’s Sean McVay.

It might be in Bakers best interest to stay in LA. Who knows how much longer Stafford has.

[Rojo Rijo]

What Mayfield did last night was amazing and fun to watch, running a 2 minute drill with an offense he's been with for 48 hours for a game winning touchdown drive. The throw to Jefferson was beautiful.

Baker knows he has a few games to showcase himself for teams for 2023.

I had $100 on this game for Vegas to win. I cashed out early because I was tired and the 1st half was boring. Woke up this morning to see I made the correct choice.

That was his style of play while at Okahoma. Mayfield's success in college was not as a pocket passer; but scrambling, improvising/reading defenses on the run. He was quite good at in college.

I have now heard the Primus song “Those Damn Blue Collar Tweekers” heading to commercial in a Fox NFL game for at least the second week in a row and I feel like I heard it before then too.

Love the song, but an interesting choice for an NFL game. Lol

My Fox feed literally cut away from 49ers - Bucs in the middle of the 3rd quarter. I’m getting Carolina and the Seahawks now.


Never thought I’d see the day where a nationally televised game with Tom Brady in it is such a blowout AGAINST his team that they drop it mid game.

[Sea Ray]

Have no idea why Brady's still in there. His hand is banged up and the game is completely out of reach. This is nuts
