2022 NFL Thread

[MrNubbz]

This was a nice win for the Vikings, but anything in the NFC involves going to Philadelphia on January 29 and getting shelled.

Well at least the opponents are received well there

Santa wasn't an opponent as far as I know

Justin Jefferson had maybe the greatest catch I've ever seen. Right now he is the best WR in the NFL. JaMarr Chase might be the 2nd best. Hard to think these two plus Joe Burrow were all on the same college team. That is insane talent at QB-WR-WR. No wonder they shattered college records and won a natty.

I wouldn't seek to detract from either of those guys, and this is the NFL thread, not college.  That said, you should've seen some of the insane grabs ODB Jr. and Jarvis Landry made in 2013 when that offense broke SEC records (which now seems pedestrian in today's game).  By the time the catch that made ODB famous in 2014 happened, us Louisiana guys were like, "Yeah, that was nice, but did you see what him and his teammate did against Arkansas last year?"  They had some flat-out acrobat-style WTF grabs.  Some great clips of those on YouTube.  

...and just because some Gumps like to call themselves WRU....In the 2021 NFL season, ODB, Chase and Jefferson caught for more yards as a trio than:  Amari Cooper, Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Devonta Smith, Jerry Jeudy, Jaylen Waddle & Henry Ruggs....combined.

TMI.....

It's a good thing I already got  **REDACTED** before Sunday evening....on weekends the Longhorns and Cowboys both lose, the wife gets so mad that she's likely to close up shop.

OBJ was overrated AF, always felt that way. Even at his peak he was never remotely in the same class as Jefferson or Chase. Those are like the best receivers on planet earth right now- and OBJ was never that. Jarvis is a nice NFL player, but that's about it. Jarvis was never elite because: he's slow as dirt plus he doesn't score TDs. His yard per reception is laughable and he's too small to be a redzone target and rack up TDs. There were years this guy was averaging 8-9 yards per catch and scoring 2-3-4 TDs per season.

There are levels to this thing. Jefferson and Chase are just at another level than OBJ/Jarvis ever were.

Oh, but Santa is an opponent. In late sixties Philly, when turf wars were raging over who could and couldn’t sling on any given block, it was a real insult for a bloke in red to parade before one of the East Coast’s largest black tar heroin markets with a sack full of “coal.”

If only we knew how far Kensington Ave would come.

If the Super Bowl is Eagles-Bills, it needs to be a best of 3, with each team hosting a game, before a neutral field to settle it
