Beck Water

In other news, Water is Wet. It's violating an NFL rule. It's a penalty by rule. I guess it depends on if you want to call violating a rule cheating or not. You do you, but it is against the rules. Yes.

I think you should get the ban-hammer for this thread topic. 20-0 Baby!

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that Detroit confused Lamar very successfully with delayed rushers (or keeping multiple "spys" Am I wrong that the Ravens got away from the rush? Only 85 yds on the ground.....were the Lions just crowding the box all night to bait the Poe-birds into passing, then smothering Lamar? 4 rushing 1st downs (all 4 in the 1st half) 19 rushing plays (11 in the first half, only 8 rush plays in the 2nd half) 85 yds on the ground (66 of them in the first half - only 9 rush yards in the entire 2nd half, WAT?) Looking at it ...the Lions were just smothering the Ravens rush offense in the 2nd half. 2 yds, 4 yds, 3 yds, 3 yds, 3 yds...several sacks near or at the LOS that may have been LJax rush attempts. Wow.

There were a lot of habits Josh had, and a number of habits he apparently didn't have, when Daboll was here. We'll see what happens with Daniel Jones in Indy, but from early returns one does kinda got to wonder if you have a point and Josh developed to some extent, "in spite of", instead of "because of"

But isn't it a bit strange to attribute him being the "new shiny object" in his 6th season, to not having lived up to his potential before, when he actually performed (arguably) better in this first 3 games of 2023?

You could watch their D visibly wilt after Wilson's 2nd interception. They were on the KC 23, they should have at least come away with a FG and gone into halftime with a 9-6 lead I think there's more to it. I think when Wilson was younger, he took more coaching. He also had players to match his skillset. I think towards the end of his time with Seattle, he had become entitled and felt he was above both his teammates AND hard coaching. Remember "I'm the best QB in the league right now" and "Let Russ Cook"?

It's. Week. 4. Herbert had more passing yards (939) and as many passing TDs (6) in the first 3 games of 2023, plus fewer sacks and no INT

No he doesn't. It's before the trading deadline and he's completed 6 seasons in the NFL

Since when is Herbert the new shiny object? This is his 6th year in the league. We're going into week 4, plenty of season to play out good or bad. Their D was excellent. But it starts with being assignment sound.

Now That was a very good football game. The Lions D put on a Clinic for the importance of Mind Your Gap and how to tackle, and it won for them in the end.

I maintain that Brian Daboll has naughty pictures of John Mara There's also the fact that Daniel Jones looks like a totally different QB so far in Indy. He looks natural, at ease, poised, and confident. Time will tell.

I think @Simon would smite that I SMH over the decision to acquire Wilson after last year on the Steelers. Course, I SMH over the Steelers decision to acquire Wilson for last season AND the Steelers decision to hang their hopes on Rodgers. So we'll see.

That's how I heard it. Josh was talking about grass vs turf and said he has a couple turf burns on his legs that make him really like grass. Then he turned to the double entendre about McAfee (well known for his marijuana use as a player and as a podcast host) liking grass and McAfee ack'd it saying he was in a medical only state but they'd get a card somehow.

You are ON to him. That's exactly what Pat was setting up, and Josh was not taking the bait.

Jones looked good. Solid. Give it more than 3 games. LOL at how Collinsworth and his sidekick kept going on and on fluffing up how excited the Giants were about Dart.

That's hysterically funny but also too close to truth for many of us dealing with our health insurance

Easily. Good Golly Miss Molly that game was hard to watch. I will give Mahomes props for that play. Stud play and it fired up his team I think. But Wilson and the Giants offense repeated ineptitude sucked the heart right out of the Giants offense. Can he do anything but throw moonballs up for grabs these days? I see no lies

Did you actually write this yourself, or are you quoting someone else's writing? Clever if the former

It's pretty common on this board that folks think players they don't like somehow have tremendous trade value to other teams. This is the last year of Epenesa's contract. Players on the last year of their contract generally don't have tremendous trade value unless they're "that special player" the other team sees as the "missing piece" this season. If he's not a special player here, why would other teams see him that way? Epenesa was a 2nd round pick and if he's not in the Bills future, he ought to bring a compensatory draft pick. Vested veterans don't typically come down with "mysterious injuries" that put them on IR. That's for drafted rookies who would otherwise be cut and have to compete for a PS slot here or elsewhere (instead of getting the higher rate of pay on the rookie scale and having a "home"). Why would Daquon go along with that, in the last year of his contract when he probably wants to show that at 34, he's still got some decent play?

LOL actually I didn't see Hard Knocks Ramsey I grant, but hasn't he a history of being "the disaffected" everywhere he's gone? IDK, I hear Sexy Rexy coming for McDaniel and calling him "nerd boy" but it's hard for me to take him too seriously. I mean, Rex himself should know a team that lacks physicality and doesn't play with passion? Personally my take is "Vitamin W deficiency" and I just hope they don't get a dose on us.

Will Jaylen Waddle Follow Storm Duck to the bench? Squish the Stinkin' Fish

I actually thought the Jets D played pretty well. Seemed to me they had a very aggressive pass rush and very aggressive pass coverage. They got bitten a bit because of Josh's pocket presence and escapability, and because the refs actually called a few DH penalties and a RTP on them. On the other hand, they got Josh for two intentional groundings (rare) and our WR for an OPI and OH.

You wrote all that based on...one game, against one of the strongest offensive units in the entire NFL? The Bills D was 11th in the league on PA last season, 17th on yards. By the standards of McDermott's tenure as HC, it's "not up to our standard" as McDermott would say, but factually, that's not "poor", it's middle-of-the-pack What I saw last season was that the D suffered when multiple starters were out and we played a good team.

Nice clip. McGovern took that hand off sooo smoothly.

That is pretty unfair to Tua, though. I mean, some of the greatest QB to play the game, like Brady, have said they can't do half the stuff Allen does. Brady has pointed out that isn't necessarily a positive: aspects of what Allen does may not be conducive to prolonging his NFL career. First World Problems
