2022 NFL Thread

Here in Florida it is incredibly rare to have a televised Detroit Lions game.

But today’s game is televised here. So like an idiot I watched it for about 10 minutes.

It looks the same to me as it looked 20 years ago, 15 years ago, 10 years ago, nothing ever changes. 

I just wish the Lions could have one great year so all those people in Michigan could party like there’s no tomorrow. That town would go nuts.

Idk why I still watch this team. They ain't ever winning jack til they get new ownership. Ford family is the worst thing that's ever happened to that team. The state should force them to sell it to Jeff Bezos or something.

Sale was approved on November 22, 1963.  I stand by that being the worst thing to happen that day

Jeff Okudah had maybe his best day as a Detroit Lion. Aidan Hutchinson did as well. These guys are super young and super talented, but super green. Okudah is basically a rookie and Hutch is a rookie. 

Goff with another turnover lol. Wasn't 100% his fault, his LT Decker got beat like a red headed step child. Decker has struggled  all game long though. At what point do they move Penei to LT and Decker to RT?

And don't forget their second #1 pick from last year hasn't even dressed yet.

But this staff won't do shit with it

True. Jameson Williams is going to be a stud when he can finally play. But it won't matter with this coaching. 

Telling ya, this job should look pretty good to any coach out there. They need to rebuild the interior of the DL and add a couple more LB's- but the team isn't that far away and they've got two 1sts in 2023 and they'll have some cap space in 2023 and 2024 to sign some guys. Jamo + Amon-Ra should be a filthy WR duo, the OL is rock solid, and they have good RBs. This team has some nice pieces on it and it could catapult forward with a nice draft in 2023 and a couple key F/A signings. Sean Payton would do wonders to this team. They need to just say hey man here's a blank check, you're the coach.

luv it when the Packers suck

Rodgers is 3-4 and so is Brady. Wild.

[FearlessF]

It's been 3 years and Joe Burrow is still beating the hell out of Georgia.

dude is the heir apparent to Brady. Mahomes and Josh Allen get all the pub and rightfully so, those guys are awesome, but Burrow is in that same class.

also: how many national titles would Ohio State have won if they had gone with Joe Burrow instead of Dwayne Haskins? 2? 3?

Likely zero.  But maybe 1.  At most

Burrows first year at LSU- he was mediocre.  Haskins broke every passing record there was at Ohio State, was Big Ten Offensive player of the year, and all American.  He also clobbered Michigan badly ( for the second time)  He had a season multi levels better than Burrow.  

Burrows big year at LSU was the year Fields took OSU to the CFP- where the refs beat them.

...if they can figure out how to stop him from getting lit up at a record pace.  If not, he's going the way of RG3 and his broke-down body will be out of the league in one of the bigger wastes in nfl history.

Like Justin Fields.  It’s sad to watch.
