Grades on a game by game basis don't mean that much and can be influenced heavily by a couple of big plays in either direction like the TD he gave up.

If shade was really the difference between 20+ players suffering from medical issues or not, then I would have expected our staff to know this and take every possible measure to do something about it and petition the league as well as the competition committee. Seems like a very solvable problem, and it's not like it's the first time we've played in Miami or the first time Miami has been hot.

What was Miami's secret then? Were they just lucky?

Since when have we shown an ability to play well in the snow? 1993?

Watching McD in close games reminds me of: 8e325a8d-47cc-42ab-92d1-af8557e65a71.mp4

I bought eggs for breakfast from the gas station at $6 a dozen instead of the grocery store so I could make it home in time for kickoff. Sorry guys. 🥺

There's no such thing as a meaningless loss in the NFL, unless you're already planning on the team golfing in January.

Considering he has a career average of 3.4 TDs per season and 38.3 yards per game, I'd say that's pretty unlikely. I'm happy to offer you +300 on it though if you'd like

How can you say that at this point? I would think there's a high chance he could end up retiring from this. He'll be 32 in a couple months and this is not a minor injury.

Early signs point to this season being very underwhelming for competition across the league. A bunch of teams might make the playoffs that have no business being there. SF just became one of the top 2 teams in the NFC with Trey Lance getting hurt. Not impressed with anyone else over there. Maybe Brady puts it together or maybe it's finally the year he's all done. Too early to say. In the AFC the Bills and Chiefs are the only real teams. The Chargers will win big games but are still too inconsistent. The dolphins are pretenders - Bills by 20. Cinci may bounce back but they clearly have problems, same with Titans. Baltimore could be alright. If Cleveland can hang around, maybe Watson makes them a contender. Indy looks the worst they've been in 20 years somehow. Pitt, Hou, NYJ, NE, Jax, going nowhere. Raiders gonna Raider.

Because I'm a glutton for punishment: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/top-32-nfl-linebackers-2022/ Edmunds was a hot top-20 guy for folks that liked his athleticism and were willing to write 2020 off as an anomaly, and then he followed it up with an equally terrible 2021. I'm not going to erase 4 seasons of gross underachievement because of 2 games where our entire defense demolished the other team. I don't even care if he balls out all year. It's too late. Let him be this year's Albert Haynesworth.

What are you talking about? This list is dated May 24, 2022. Start over.

Oh, I don't doubt it. His contract numbers don't mean much though. Trash players get paid all the time. Here are 32. You'll have to live with that. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-linebacker-rankings-and-tiers-monson-2022

2020 was the centennial. There were only 5 modern era players, as there were in 2021 and 2019.

Harrison, Freeney, Thomas and Revis were all elite, all-pro, generational players.

The first answer depends on what the definition of "good" is. To answer your second question, 25-35 conservatively.

Meh. What Edmunds did to Dane Jackson is the type of play only he could make. He processes the game so slowly that the play was over before he even broke into his stance for the hit. On top of him being a half hour late to the hit, he also ***** missed on top of it. He's a 🤡 and it cost his team tonight. Sorry if I'm unimpressed by him running unencumbered against Tannehill. Everyone on the defense made plays yesterday and only one of them nearly paralyzed their own teammate.

The only thing he has in common with those guys is that he's a small white dude. Completely different kind of player.

Folks here are probably making way too much of this. When receivers start to decline, they drop off a cliff. Jordy Nelson went from 1257/14TD to less than 500 in a season and was done. Vincent Jackson went from 1000 to 550, Roddy White 1351 to 711, TY Hilton 1270 to 551. Beasley is older than all of them when his drop occurred. The difference between an elite WR and a guy that isn't good enough to play in the league isn't much more than a step. I'd be floored if he's able to look anything like his 2020 or prior self. More than likely I see him pushing too hard and getting a nagging injury and he hangs them up after the year. He was and is the definition of ignorant. It's his right to be so, but it's undeniable.

I watched the whole game yesterday and I couldn't talk myself out of the thought that Trubisky looks worse now than he did when he was a Bear. He made a couple of nice throws but generally doesn't seem to have very much arm talent, and he just stares down/telegraphs his intended targets over and over. Diontae Johnson was running wide open all afternoon and Trubisky just wouldn't/couldn't get him the ball. I'm not sure he gets a chance to take another snap in this league if he doesn't do a 180 quick. If I'm Tomlin, Pickett gets the nod next week.

maybe if he's hard up for cash he could franchise his book: "If I Did It 2: The Matt Araiza Story"

At least it's usually the Jags and/or Lions

Just Pizza is criminally underrated - probably because they're so massive, but they aren't in discussion of the best IMO. Just Pizza was our regular spot when we live on the west side ~10 years ago.

This is the worst thing the NFL has done to date with respect to scheduling. Maybe next they'll start playing games during the day like baseball.
