So is there anything the league can do to stop intentional tanking? I'd like to think it's not something that happens but the incentive is there.

Pretty sure that's why the NBA has "lottery" picks, where bad records only statistically increase your chances of the top pick, but the NFL has no such thing that I'm aware of. I'm not even sure there's a mechanism to enforce it.
 
Went is done and Hurts has been put in. It is unknown whether he'll be the starter going forward. I'm surprised that they did this and thought that they would keep Wentz in because of the $$$ which they owe him. But with rumors of Pederson being on the hot seat, it might just be him trying to save his job.

Jets are leading the Raiders by 4, about to hit the 2 minute warning. If the Jets defense manages to get a stop here they've likely earned their first W of the year.

HOLY SHIT. With 5 seconds left, Derek Carr airs it out, gets a 47 yard touchdown. Unbelievable upset, get fucked Gase.

There is absolutely no way to convince me they didn't throw that game. The previous play had a guy (Ruggs?) open in the endzone and Carr overthrew him. The next play they run single coverage and rush 6 or 7 when any level of organized football would 100% protect the endzone and rush 3-4. With Jacksonville nipping at their heels, the Jets simply couldn't afford to win that game.
 
Am I supposed to know who this gay stereotype guy in all of these Uber Eats commercials is? And isn't he, like, so problematic I can't even?

It's nice to see Denver vs. KC be somewhat competitive, at least so far. Lol at that non-touchdown though.
 
Jets fumble again.......fire wrong coach. :story:


The New York Jets have fired defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

The firing comes just one day after Williams' questionable play call resulted in the Las Vegas Raiders' game-winning touchdown, costing New York an opportunity for its first win of the season.

With a four-point lead in the final seconds, Williams sent an all-out blitz at Derek Carr. The Raiders quarterback avoided the rush and found Henry Ruggs streaking into the end zone. The decision baffled multiple players on both sides.



Williams was hired to be the team's defensive coordinator in 2019. After a respectable showing last season, New York's defense has fallen off a cliff in 2020, ranking 30th in points allowed per game and 29th in yardage allowed.

The Jets are expected to name assistant head coach Frank Bush as their interim defensive coordinator, Schefter adds. Bush is in his second season with New York.

The Jets are just four losses away from joining the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns as the only 0-16 teams in NFL history. New York's remaining four opponents all hold a record of .500 or better:

That blitz with zero deep safeties that gave the same to Las Vegas 100% moved Williams ahead of Gase on the "fire immediately" list.
You don't get rid of the tank commander mid-tank, but there's no reason to tolerate that amount of incompetence from the DC. How Gregg ever got another NFL gig after being Hue's right hand man for the 0-16 Browns, I'll never know.
 
Just a heads up that the Washington-Pittsburgh game coming up shortly is not on national TV. If you're in the west or south, you'll need to find a stream unless you have DirecTV.

Wonder when Kansas City is gonna get some criticism for winning close games against okay to bad teams lately like the Steelers have for doing the same

Skip Bayless might be the only person right now who would would shit on them for it, but that means having to listen to Skip Bayless and how Brady's 6 Superbowls makes him the best QB right now. Cowherd is also a big hypocrite on this and said today, and I'm paraphrasing here, "Pittsburgh doesn't run well but Kansas City does everything well and they just get bored because of how good they are.".....
In case y'all need a reminder, Colin Cowherd is a man who praises Carson Wentz and the shitty Eagles as well as Darnold at every chance he gets, but shits on other good teams and has been terrible every other week on his blazing 5.

I'm not denying the criticisms, but would you expect anything else from the media personalities on TV? Right now, they're in the phase of sucking off Patrick Mahomes just like they did with Aaron Rodgers 10 years ago or with Deshaun Watson a few years ago. They want to be right and want to be the ones on top of finding the next great player.
 
Yeah, Steelers are starting to shit the bed, this should be interesting.

I swear to fucking god if the Steelers blow this fucking game. :stress:

I think I heard them say that before tonight's game Pittsburgh was 78-1-1 when they had a lead of 14 or more at Heinz Field. Big win for Washington indeed.
 
I put on a stream of the WFT game figuring I'd watch for a minute and shut it off. That was actually a good game.

Pity the Giants beat team WTF twice so they easily win a tie-breaker for the Division, but wouldn't that be something?

I like to watch this silly YouTube channel after a dumb Pittsburgh loss. He should have a video up on Wednesday, I'd guess.
