NFL 2025: A new era dawns?

[Aragorn]

Trying to think about who got to sit as a high draft pick. Eli Manning sat for half the year. Patrick Mahomes sat for a year. Carson Palmer sat for a year. Brett Favre sat for a year. Jordan Love sat for two years. Philip Rivers sat for two years. Aaron Rodgers sat for three years.

Sitting didn't help Jake Locker, Brady Quinn, Trey Lance, Patrick Ramsey, JP Losman. No amount of sitting would've helped Johnny Manziel, JaMarcus Russell, Tim Tebow or Paxton Lynch, each for different reasons.

Like anything else, it isn’t a perfect answer. I just think if you’re sold on a QB being your future, you shouldn’t be running him out there to try and save your job.

The most likely outcome is the coach still loses his job and ruins the player to boot.

What is going on in San Francisco? I can’t remember another team with as many injuries as they have.

I don't think any rookie QB can be successful without at least a B+ O-Line. A running game helps, but he needs to be able to make decisions. With experience, they can get by on muscle memory and catching up to the NFL level.

Now, there are rookie QBs who the 1983 Hogs couldn't save from himself.

Is Marvin Harrison Jr. a bust?

Is Marvin Harrison Jr. a bust?

He's either a bust, or has the yips. I was listening to some of the game and he dropped another pass that he should have had.

Overall, from what I saw and heard it was a fun game. Interesting that next week is the second half of the NFC West divisional rivalries. So far Thursday Night Football hasn't been that bad.

Seahawks won!

After that Sunday night game, trying to think of other last minute mistakes by the kicker (not counting missed field goals or extra points) that led to losses. There was John Kasay with the kickoff out of bounds that gave the Patriots a short field at the end of the Super Bowl against Carolina. There was the Giants punter who was told to kick it out of bounds so they could take the game to OT only it didn't go out of bounds and the Eagles returned it for the winning TD.

There's a meme out there that says the Monday night Jets/Dolphins game has been flexed to Comedy Central.

Thursday Night Football has long been the NFL's cesspool of night games, but NY/MIA is a dumpster fire.

Lamar Jackson out of the game in Kansas City.

Hamstring, is questionable to return.

I understand that commercials is how the NFL pays the bills, but maybe not try to sell us shit when a player is on the ground writhing in pain.

It is just tacky.

Raiders going for the go-ahead FG with 30 seconds left, Bears block it. What's going on with special teams this season?

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Bears special teams let the return guy get way too many yards, but then redeem themselves with the block. Not an easy game at all.

My BIL and niece were at the Bears game (Bears fans).

Very happy today.

The Rams beat the Colts by 7.

A special thanks to Adonai Mitchell, Colts receiver, who cost them 2 TD’s, including fumbling the ball through the end zone, untouched, after a 75 yard reception.

Really feels like the Packers should blow the Cowboys out.

Not with a blocked extra point and poor punt return.

It never fails. As soon as I post something, the team I post about starts playing opposite of what they had been playing.

The whole dropping the ball before scoring a TD thing, aka the DeSean Jackson move, trying to find if anyone has done it twice.

Found that it happened twice the same day in the NFL with Jonathan Taylor (dropping the ball early) and Jordan Battle (losing control of the ball at the end even though no one was near him).

Looks like DeSean Jackson sort of did it twice. In the All-American Bowl he did a hot dog dive for the end zone on a wide open TD but landed one yard short and lost the ball, but the play was ruled dead at the one.
