The NFL Thread - Root for your favorite team (or laugh at the Browns, whichever's easier)

[Wallace]

For fuck's sake.

The Pats are Zapping to the extreme against a Packers team that looks like shit.

I know a Yinzer who will be salty this week, The Steelers lost to the JETS and worse the Jets have both less losses and more win than the Steelers using Joe Flacco and Zach Wilson

Can someone explain to me why the Broncos tried an on-side kick when they were up by three points… in the second quarter… with 11:45 on the clock?

Was it just to be lol so random? Or has their coaching staff been having a paint chip eating contest?

(They failed the on-side, by the way, and the Raiders turned it into a field goal as part of their first win of the season.)

Just want to say that the NY Jets played well today, and plus, it’s nice to see them with a .500 record rating for once

Their coach, Nathaniel Hackett, is a hack

Hackett appears to be in way over his head. Dude was the OC of Aaron Rodgers. It's just like with Gase getting a job when he was the OC under Peyton Mannning. We know who runs those offenses, why the fuck do people interview these coaches?

On another note, how the fuck are the Texans worse this year than they were last year? Your team will be rebuilding for another couple years, why waste time axing the coach who got way more out of the team he was provided than he should have. At least wait until your draft needs doesn't read, "Every position" before making coaching changes.

My only guess in a vacuum is, they saw something busted about the coverage on special teams and wanted to try it out.

LaFleur and Rodgers ran the offense. Hackett was the guy who made sure to refresh the tape and keep his mouth shut when the game plan was being drawn up

Thinking about what can be done to resolve this. I think the problem might be the concept of "team doctors" who have some incentive to keep the team's best players on the field. Why not have the league hire a cadre of their own docs, give them special training in concussions and the like, and then have one or two at each game with the power to override each team's docs and pull a guy out of the game, at least temporarily for further inspection, if it looks like his health is at risk? This seems like an obvious enough idea that I presume that it's already been discussed and dismissed by the league; is it just that they couldn't get the teams to sign off on it?

So it turns out there's already something like this in place, but the literal brain scientist working the game Tua first (apparently) got concussed at cleared him to keep playing and nobody second-guessed it.

I guess trusting the experts will eventually fail once one of the experts screws up. Maybe he had money on the fish in that game or something.

Speaking of which, all the ads for these sports betting apps are starting to grate on my nerves. It's like one in five ads now.

(Seen on /r/Patriots. Must admit I laughed, after my eyes uncrossed.)

I throughly enjoy the manning cast. There was just a streaker breakdown only the dude had a shirt and Eli called him amateur hour for not going (exact quote) “full throttle”.

A fan ran on to the field tonight and got laid out by future Hall of Fame linebacker Bobby Wagner for his efforts.

Aaron Donald furiously google searching how to retroactively retire after the season has already started

 

[std::string]

At minimum, team docs should be fucking gone, and players should have the option of using their own or the unions.

Don't worry the concussion protocol has them consulting an independent neurologist who is...almost certainly on the NFL's payroll because who else would be paying them? There's definitely no conflict of interest there.

NFLPA should have started pushing to eliminate team docs and just have their own after the Chargers' team doc went spelunking in Tyrod Taylor's lungs with his needle tip. I don't think these teams are hiring the best...

Brady might've actually ruined his marriage coming back this year.

Listen, I want the man to beat George Blanda's record for the memes, and there's nothing I enjoy more than shitting on the NFC South, but holy shit hang them up already if it's coming to this.

Counterpoint: Giselle is the biggest cunt this side of the Atlantic not named 'Taylor Lorenz', and Tom Brady could do much better even today. Kick her ass to the curb, Tom!

You married an athlete who wants to win and now he is coming back to a really good team like Tampa who still has a super bowl window. What a shock that he wants to keep playing

He's got that pathological need to compete like Michael Jordan, so...

If he doesn't retire I expect him to float to another team next year, which is fine. We can fix our roster and scrape the corpse of Julio Jones out of the locker room.

Not sure where he'd end up. Cowboys or 49ers maybe. Just a team with a good D that needs a QB to make everything click.

The 49ers would be perfect since he basically started his career as a Joe Montana impersonation, this time with measurements!

Yeah, I hated the guy as a Patriot (Broncos fan), got to like how he rolled in the NFC and appreciate him more since he wasn’t actively fucking my team over, but almost two decades still left him somewhat sour to me. With all that said, this is sad to see. Hopefully they make it as amicable as possible. Also she’s probably worth a lot more than he is lol.
