Saints played well despite injuries to quite a few key players, fucking shame they threw it all away in the last five minutes.

Oh and Bradley Roby can't tackle for the life of him, must've missed or failed to wrap his arms on at least five tackles today. I miss Latttimore.

Sonichu marches on :medallion:
 
Belichick is now tied with George Halas at #2 in career wins as a head coach.
He needs another 26 wins to catch up with Don Shula
 
The Steelers beat Brady but are now cursed to start Bitch Trubisky for the next couple of games. What is it with QBs getting hurt this year? Offensive lines across the league look like shit.
 
Just here to say. I am not confident in the Chargers to beat the Broncos, why did I chose to be a fan of a team with no fans... Guess they got to have someone.

God I don't even want to talk about that game. Some of the worst coaching I've ever seen in those last two minutes. I will be surprised if there isn't a massive coach reshuffle in the off season.

That being said, despite the loss, the Saints are still very much in the running for the NFC South, despite all odds.
 
It's nice to feel like we won a trade after the Adams fiasco.
Watching the national media turn on Wilson after the absolute shellacking the Seahawks got for trading him from every east coast talking head over the summer is hilarious.

Seems like a combination of not enough O-line talent coming up through college and the need for every member of the O-line to be competent or else the whole thing falls apart.

Doesn't matter if everyone else is good if Chris Jones just casually pushes your LG the fuck over on every snap.

I think the big issue is just how much more quick and athletic these defensive linemen have become in the last decade plus.

Almost every position corps has had some kind of breakthrough in technique, athleticism, etc but the talent pool for O-Linemen has basically remained unchanged my entire life just because all elite athletes don't want to put in the dirty work and want instantaneous glory.

Offensive lines are going to continually get worse until they either get an influx of raw talent or we get some sort of breakthrough that had the effectiveness of zone blocking in the 90s.

It could change once the lack of talent for O-linemen gets so low that they start getting massively paid. Nothing like making 4x the amount of a d-linemen to start changing where the talent goes
