NFL 2018 Season

[BillJ]

Meanwhile, Tyrod Taylor is riding the pine behind Baker Mayfield and Drew Stanton.

The Bills need to get their shit together...

I know they would never sign him. But there's no way anyone can convince me that Nathan Peterman is better than Colin Kaepernick.

Apparently, Shad Khan has withdrawn his bid to purchase Wembley Stadium.

Story

I wonder if the league might have stepped in to stop this deal. The NFL loves it when owners spend their own money on things like new stadiums in fertile new territory, but they aren't above meddling if there's something about the deal they might not be completely cool with.

Well, the Bills are starting Derek Anderson.

I didn't even know he was still in the league.

Yeah. They signed him right before Allen got hurt. Kaepernick would've been the better option there as well.

 

[BillJ]

I think folks in Arizona are missing Bruce Arians right about now. Wilks is a good football coach, but I think the cupboard is more bare than anyone imagined and it is going to take time to rebuild.

 

[BillJ]

Mike McCoy fired as Cardinals offensive coordinator. Byron Leftwich to take over.

 

[BillJ]

Browns trade Carlos Hyde to the Jaguars for a 2019 fifth-round pick. Wonder if Leonard Fournette is more hurt than the Jags are letting on?

 

[1001001]

^ Yeah that sounds odd.

As for me, I am looking at this 49ers game and not feeling good about it.

They could easily be 3-3, and so could the Rams. Our third road game in a row (who’s scheduling this shit?).

I don’t like any of it.

I can't help but remember this fixture from last season: LAR 41-39 SF.

Anything could happen. I'm starting Goff in my league this week so I need him to be the guy who played vs the Vikings rather than the guy from the last 2 weeks.

Patriots 38 Bears 31. It never felt that close, even the 5 minutes the Bears were ahead.

We couldn't tackle, we couldn't cover, we got no pressure. Mack was just wandering around most of the game. Couldn't throw or catch most of the time. We were only in it early because of Trubisky's running.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

Browns lost in overtime again because of course they did.

So, 4OT games in which they are 1-2-1, 2 games decided at last minute of regulation, only one decisive loss. What is going on? If the Browns coach flipped a coin I’d bet money it’d land on its side.

 

[1001001]

As much as I love it when the Rams beat the 49ers, I can’t go too far with this one. They are basically fielding half a team.

Packers and Saints over the next two weeks.

BTW: I finalized my annual football weekend today. USC/Cal on Saturday, Rams/Seahawks on Sunday.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Redskins best Dallas, despite Alex Smith’s best efforts to sabotage the win in the 2 minute drill. He’s such a fucking idiot, but happy for the W all the same.

 

[BillJ]

I'd rather Miami just be plain bad than eternally mediocre.

Rams yellow pants, blue jersey...
Rams yellow pants, yellow jersey...

Cody Kessler is not the answer in Jacksonville. Not sure anyone is with the current playcalling.

Bucs need to let Jameis Winston walk after this season.

Watching bits of the Cowboys-Redskins, I realized just how much I miss Pat Summerall and John Madden calling games.

Was listening to the local radio station this morning. According to them, between fines and missed game checks, Vontaze Burfict of the Bengals has forfeited $4.2 million in salary.

What an idiot.

I'm sure he's invested his money wisely.

I'm not saying the Buffalo Bills are bad, but Todd Gurley has outscored them this season.

By himself.

I'm figuring Miami can use that as a hook to sell season tickets next year. "Hey, at least we aren't Buffalo!"

Dallas is sending their 1st round pick to Oakland for WR Amari Cooper. Story

That gives the Raiders 3 in 2019 (so far). Let's hope they get smart before then, or at least make sure Chucky is sober on draft day.

Dallas is sending their 1st round pick to Oakland for WR Amari Cooper.

Why?!

Nothing like the ongoing Cowboys circus. They could've nabbed the kid from SMU in the draft, heck they could've brought back Bryant. Instead, a classic mortgage the future move for a guy who was just in concussion protocol.

The biggest problem is Prescott. Taking too long to get the ball out, even when his receivers are getting separation.
