funny meme. 

I would not be surprised if the Chargers wind up in the AFC chip year one. 

Joe Alt is already looking like an elite tackle and if JK Dobbins is healthy again he’s one of the more talented backs in the entire NFL. He had a great rookie season in Baltimore then barely played the next couple years because of injuries. It’s only two games in but he’s looking like his old self again. And he’s only 25 with not very many NFL carries on his body. 

The defense has really nice pieces to work with and Jesse Minter is a young star DC who will be a head coach in the NFL in the next 2-3 years.

Jeem got himself a ball club down there in LA.

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.

Same as coaching.  I think the guys who are the best just have so much natural ability, they struggle to communicate it to others, because they just "did" it.

Granted, I don't know if that's necessarily Brady.  I think Brady's issue is that he's never done it.  He went straight from the field to the #1 team.  Some guys might be able to do that, but not many.  He might be fine in time.  Problem is I thought Greg Olson was REALLY good, and it sucks he got moved down

Well, it's easy to clown on Orlovsky because he wasn't good enough to be an NFL starter. And of course the end line thing 

But let's be real. Dan Orlovsky is not a suck-ass QB. Per his wiki, he was talented enough to receive offers from P5 schools, Purdue and Michigan State. He obviously balled out in college to the extent that he was drafted. He was obviously talented enough as a backup to kick around for 12 years in the NFL. That means that at any given time during that span, he was up there within roughly the top 100 QBs in the world beyond the age of 21. 

But top 100 isn't what you need to be to be a starter in the NFL. You need to be top 32.

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...

Good stuff.   Apparently Illinois disguises their coverages until post snap.  We'll see how true frosh Raiola handles that tomorrow night

New England's offense definitely sucks but they do have a legit defense, and Rodgers looked very sharp against that defense and made some truly ridiculous throws. That NY Jets team is only going to get better throughout the season imo.

this is a little wild considering how long he's played in the NFL...

Outlaw two high safeties? Wtf? 

Game is completely geared towards offense as is. Might as well outlaw tackling next. 

Mel Kiper is an idiot. And why is he still on ESPN he’s like 179 years old and no one cared what he thought back then and they sure as hell don’t care today.

Uhh, "ban" two high? No. 

Two high is just a part of the ebb and flow. Keep sitting in two high, and you dare teams to run it right into your face. 

And they're doing it. And it's working.

Eventually teams are going to have to realize they have to stop the run to win. The situation will handle itself.

He never fails to entertain

I generally don't think illegal defense types of rules are great for the game, as they seem sort of fake. But, the NFL has changed the rules so much to favor the passing game that when the passing numbers go down, the overall product looks really rough. No one wants to watch a guy drop back 30 times to throw short routes that go no where. So some rule changes that encourage big plays and rushing the ball would be great. Not particularly sure what those would look like, but I think overall it would make the NFL more interesting to watch.

he's a full blown weirdo....but he's genuine and it works for him. players can sniff out inauthenticity and fakery in an instant. Jeem might be lot of things- but he ain't that. Jeem's players all love him for the most part and he truly loves them. Most especially the ones that are the true football guys. Which is why you see guys like Bosa, Derwin James, Khalil Mack, and Justin Herbert rave about Jeem and you can see that culture changing in real-time in a hurry.
