2024 NFL Thread

Freaking bungles knock me out of the survivor pool last week along with with 270 others and but up short vs the Chefs.They could have knocked out most of the others players in the pool. If no one player is left in the pool everyone gets back in

Justin Fields may just turn out to be a real QB on a winning team now that he's escaped the QB hell that is the Chicago Bears...

Someone help me out here. Round about 10-12 years ago there was a play in the NFL where the QB threw a pick, and on the run back the QB was casually jogging back upfield in the direction of the play but nowhere near the action. He was leveled by a defensive player, possibly a guy maybe named Sam or something. I think the QB was a high profile guy.  There was a lot of discussion about the hit being dirty and back and forth about how he was no longer a QB but a defensive player and he should’ve been paying attention and so forth.

Anyways we were discussing this and I couldn’t remember the players and the details.

Anybody remember?

TTT.  Anybody know what I'm talking about?  

[FearlessF]

yes, I know what yer talkin bout but............

my memory isn't good enough for the particulars

[Mdot21]

ummm...what Bill? 


"I think that the Lions have built a really good offensive line for their quarterback, and they couldn't get a lot of production in the red area last week but that's something that Matt Patricia started and now they're kind of getting the fruits of the labor from him," Belichick said.

Taylor Decker and Graham Glasgow were drafted two years before Matt Patricia was ever the head coach of the Detroit Lions. And Glasgow had to leave Detroit because when his rookie deal was up that fucking clown Patricia gave him a ridiculous lowball offer. Glasgow is only back in Detroit right now because of Brad Holmes signing him in free agency last year. Brad Holmes drafted Penei Sewell, by far the best player on that o-line and he signed Kevin Zeitler in free agency this year. Frank Ragnow is the only guy on that OL that was drafted when Patricia was the head coach. And I'd hardly give the "defensive guru" credit for that one. You want to talk about Patricia, let's talk about all the other god awful draft picks the team had on defense and him running off All-Pro talent on that side of the ball like Darius Slay.

WTF is Bill Belichik smoking?

Yup Bellichik disciple
WTF is Bill Belichik smoking?
Same stuff he was puffing when he took Tommy Vardell and Graig Powell in the 1st round and ran Eric Metcalf up the middle 30 yrs ago with the Browns

Really enjoyed the first 6-7 minutes of this discussing the Vikings defense. @FearlessF as a fan, or anyone who loves geeking out on X's and O's stuff, it was a pretty good look at how defenses are disguising their coverages and pressures to not tip their hand before the snap...

You know the rule. Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. 

Actually one of the funniest things to me about Orlovsky is he was making an offhand comment about Peloton during one episode, and so I tried to find his profile. 

And I did! Then I got pissed off because his personal record outputs were higher than mine! I mean, FFS, he's just a damned quarterback!

And then I realized that maybe, just maybe, I shouldn't be comparing myself to a professional athlete who kicked around the NFL for a dozen years. Who, unlike Jay Cutler, probably believed that he needed to stay in shape to keep his job as an NFL [backup] QB.

yeah it’s crazy to see someone who was so ass at playing football talk about playing football. 

but then again Brady is apparently really struggling in his new gig on Fox and well he was pretty damn good at playing football.
