    What has happened to "parity" in the NFL?   

    There 9 teams with 2 wins or less, a handful of whom are 1-6!!

     

    With the salary cap and the draft positions, how can teams be so bad?  

    QB play is very very bad around the NFL

    How would they explain trading the face of their franchise during a season though?

     

    what would that do to the locker room?

     

    this all seems really made up and just a fun topic to talk about.

    The Panthers did it with CMC and you could argue they never been more entertaining!

    He has not brought in good talent to field a good, contending team. Not since Jimmy Johnson left.

     

    He chooses players like a high school kid who doesn't know much about football, the nuts and bolts, so chooses and then overpays for flashy, incomplete players that  get some attention--Prescott, Parsons, our buddy diggs...  So then Jerry gets a little more of what he truly wants--a spotlight on him.

     

    Like that awful monstrosity he built for his 'team' to play in, he is always just going for the shiny object as he thinks it reflects well on him. But, instead, he has become a joke, a punchline, with an extremely flawed team that he is responsible for creating.

     

    Now he is lashing out, unhinged, because he is in a hole he cannot dig out of.  His only hope is to find a high quality GM, and turn the reigns over to him. But he won't do that.

     

     

     

     

    This is a good way to put it. There’s talented players in Dallas, but it’s not a team building strategy. It’s a marketing strategy

    That was an era with different free agency rules and no salary cap. Now that he can't use his wallet to win, he's shown his true colors.

     

    Brilliant businessman, absolutely terrible GM.

    He’s brought in good talent over the years. But he is weirdly loyal to guys when he shouldn’t be. When Zeke was holding out, you absolutely knew he was going to cave enough though you could find similar production from another back. Then when it was clear Zeke wasn’t the best player in the backfield (That would be Pollard) they continued to run Zeke purely because Jones wanted them too

     

    How long was Jason Garrett on the hot seat but never fired. He was the definition of mediocre and Jones kept him around because he liked him

    Woody Johnson tried to move them back to NYC with a stadium in Manhattan about 15-20 years ago, but it never got off the ground. I know with the lease at MetLife both the Giants and Jets had to play their 15 years when it first opened in 2008. In 2023 they could have opted out of the lease but didn't. They have that option every 5 years going forward. So, the next time will be in 2028 then 2033 and so on and so on. 

    Woody will only approve that if Rodgers is ok with living in Manhattan

    How are there no better kickers available than this?

     

    I always assumed kicker is one of those positions where there should be an abundance of unsigned talent for the simple fact that teams only keep 1 place kicker, so that's 32 jobs available in the NFL for one specific position....

     

    SURELY there are better options that fall right outside of the top 32 than someone who went 4 for 9 on kicks of 40+, right???  I mean that is pretty much Tyler Bass!!  And this dude was kicking for LA!  At least Bass has the wind excuse.

     

    Man.. finding a way to downgrade from Bass... that's not easy!  I gotta hand it to Beane.

    Surely there are more than 10 good QBs on the planet?

    Week 7 - Titans at Bills Game Week Thread

    I’m surprised at the praise for Levis - I have been less than impressed with him so far.  He’s physically gifted but makes some boneheaded mistakes that have cost the Titans 1/3 of their games this season.  
     

    He also struggles to get the ball to his receivers and is type of QB that McDermott’s defense typically fares well against.  I think Spears is hurt and Pollard is good so the run/screen game is always a threat. 
     

     

    I personally like Levis and his style of play. If he can slow down and just play within himself hes got a shot to be good. Great physical talent. He reminds me of Locker and Losman a bit. Really great physical athletes who are just missing a little something to take them over the top. Hes got a good coach and pretty good weapons. The league is more fun with lots of good QBs, so I'm rooting for him (not this week)

    He's shockingly slow of foot for an NFL DB.

    I respect him as a gamer, but he is absolutely the most limited athlete running around the secondary for either team during nearly every play.

    That’s fair. I’m not saying he’s some perfect player. But I can’t think of a single play where he hasn’t been in position to make a play. Low end starter safety. In year when we are strapped to the cap, sometimes that’s what you get

    Buffalo trades for Amari Cooper! (for a 3rd rnd pick and a late round swap)

    OMG

     

    They sent a 3rd for Cooper.  This is beyond terrible.

     

    Dallas sent cooper two years ago to Cleveland for a fifth.

     

    A 3rd round draft pick for a guy leading the league in drops who has questionable desire to play the game.

     

    Just shoot me right now.  

    It says a pick swap. Maybe it was a 3rd for a 4th and cooper? That would be like a 5th or 6th

    Davante Adams Traded to the Jets

    The Jets aren't that bad and I think some folks here don't quite realize how good Adams is. He is a huge upgrade.

     

    The odd man out will be Mike Williams, who through no fault of his own was the target on Rodgers's game ending INTs the last two weeks. One was beautifully read by Gilmore, who knew he was going to back-shoulder it, and the other was an awful throw by Rogers that Taron made a great play on. Also, Williams dropped a pass earlier. 

     

    A threesome of Adams, Wilson (both #1s), and Lazard with Williams as fourth is a formidable group of pass catchers. 

     

    Their upcoming schedule is very soft too, and while they could lose any of these games, here's my pick based on talent differentials (as I see them) over the rest of the season.

     

    at Pitt (probable win; Steelers are not very good)

    at Patriots (win)

    Texans at home (50/50; probably the Jets, though, given that Nico Collins will be out)

    at Cardinals (50/50)

    Colts at home (win)

    Seahawks at home (win)

    at Dolphins (win)

    at Jaguars (win)

    Rams at home (win)

    at Bills (probable loss but it's a matchup problem for the Bills, as evidenced from last night)

    Dolphins at home (win)

     

    Point is, even with the bad 2-4 start, it's very plausible for them to end up 11-6. Not saying they will, but don't be surprised and also don't be surprised if that Bills/Jets game is for the division.

    If you think that team is going to go 9-2 the rest of the way, you haven't watched much of the NFL. That team has no direction right now. They fired the HC in a move that signals "We are not going in the right direction) demoted the OC, have a terrible line and an old aging QB who can't seem to get on the same page as his WRs. Sure they traded for Adams, but the problems the Jets have are far more than needing another playmaker. Everyone crowning the Jets as some juggernaut who just needs to figure it out has completely ignored all the dysfunction the last few years. 

     

    Adams helps, but if they can't protect their QB and stop the run (they got gashed by rookie RB last night) it doesn't really matter. 

     

     

     

     

     

    Congrats to JA for most TDs in NFL history in first seven years

    I just read an AI bot that said this. Can anybody confirm if this is true? If so, would Allen have the record? 
     

     

    According to this website Josh has the most TD throws to start a season without an INT. Steve Young had the same number but in 8 games.

     

    The record for passes in a season before an INT is held by the Brian Hoyer (Because why not) with 200. Josh is second with 156. He averages 26 throws a game, so if he makes it two more games, he will be in some rare company
