Not so sure about Joe Judge. TBH I'm kind of souring on Mac Jones. Not quite willing to say he's a bust (yet), but the thought does cross my mind.

Mac could go either way, though after he got his face shoved into the turf during that last play, I'd think his spirit is pretty well crushed. The lion's share of the blame is still on Patricia.

Word is the QB class for the next draft is going to be stacked, so you never know.

Some GM is going to lose their job drafting Levis. Mark my words.

e: Vikings signed Rosen to their practice squad. This dude is straight up going to haunt every fucking NFL roster I guess.

Steelers Hall of Fame RB Franco Harris, author of 'The Immaculate Reception,' dies at 72

Franco Harris, the Hall of Fame running back whose heads-up thinking authored “The Immaculate Reception,” considered the most iconic play in NFL history, has died.

Right on the anniversary of the Immaculate Reception, too. There's going to be a great big celebration at the game on Sunday, Franco was going to have his # retired (well, they still will)), damn. Imagine being his family -- right before Xmas.

Dude was probably one of the Steelers GOATs, if not one of the NFL.
 
Just wanna give a shoutout to my jags rising from the dead. I think Im gonna grab a Lawrence Jersey to celebrate even though I know that the titans always happen to be there to ruin our fun. I have to admit though I do miss blake bortles and how every throw he made had me on the edge of my seat like I just bet my life savings on red for roulette
 
Wonder if this will get McDaniels fired:

Raiders' Adams disappointed with Carr benching: 'I support my guy'​


Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams was visibly upset Wednesday when speaking to reporters about head coach Josh McDaniels' decision to bench quarterback Derek Carr.

"Obviously, I don't think anybody was excited ... you know, him being one of my really good friends and, you know, the reason why I came here in the first place," Adams said. "You know I wouldn't be here right now if he wasn't here."

He added: "I'm not going to sit here and go on and on, but obviously, I support my guy."


Adams, 30, joined the Raiders this past offseason in a trade from the Green Bay Packers.

Though Adams has 88 receptions for 1,290 yards and 12 touchdowns this year, the Raiders have stumbled to a 6-9 record.

Carr and Adams became friends when they played together at Fresno State in 2012 and 2013. Adams posted 233 receptions for 3,031 yards and 38 touchdowns with Carr as the starting quarterback.

McDaniels announced the decision to bench Carr for the team's final two regular-season games on Wednesday afternoon. Jarrett Stidham will start for the Raiders in those contests.

I've watched this about half a dozen times trying to find some kind of explanation as to why this is anything less than a -200 IQ move and I can't. I can't even find a way to say that it's only -100 IQ. Look at the video of when the ball is caught by the defender, Chandler Jones. Mac Jones is so far away that he's not even on the screen. Even if Mac Jones wasn't in a different county of Nevada at the time, he's the last man back on your team and you think "This makes sense to try." :story:

The best part of the last guy back is that it's your QB of all people. On top of that, it's not like it's Lamar Jackson. It's not Josh Allen. It's not Jalen Hurts. It's Mac Jones. I was going to write that Tom Brady might be the only worse QB choice in the league to throw it to there in that situation, but at least one could argue that the defense might be too afraid to hit him and instead let him make the catch and crumple up to end the play and take things to OT. :story:

Thinking back on it, he had to think they were losing, that's the only rational explanation. And I know hindsight is 20/20 and Monday morning quarterback blah blah blah, but there really is no other explanation other than "we're losing and I need to keep the play alive" and he was just wrong.

I can see, even if tied, you lateral to a guy within 5 feet of you, and it's a for sure toss. Meyers was in pure desperation mode for no reason at all. Surely the most bizarre play of the season and maybe the last decade.

I am a lifelong and diehard Cleveland Browns fan, same as my old man. My dad obviously couldn't stand Franco in the "old, but firm friends" style of the Browns-Steelers rivalry. But I was talking to him this week and he was telling me all these stories about Franco and how good he was, just a total respect of his career and life. He was a great guy too, on top of all his football accomplishments.

You know you had a positive, lasting effect on the league when the team and fanbase that bitterly hated you when you played has nothing but good things to say when looking at the big picture.

That was why the Jameis years on the Bucs were so fun. He'd drop back and throw and only God knew which team would catch it.

I'm fairly sure every DC in the league was trolling him though. S playing robber mid and everyone in man coverage was trailing their receiver. They knew Jameis didn't give a shit.

McDaniels and alienating, then benching, the franchise QB to prop up an objectively inferior replacement that's "his guy", name a more iconic duo.
Poor Carr getting the Cutler treatment, he deserves better. I almost hope he sticks to his guns about retiring rather than signing with another team, that's a great way to stick it to Davis for being an incompetent Tommy Boy owner and avoids Carr potentially putting up bad film somewhere like Indianapolis next year.
 
As wild as this season has been, I wasn't expecting

I'm serious when I say that the Jets with Breece Hall and your garden variety meathead who never hits IR at QB would have run all over this Seahawks defense.
I'm sure they'll horribly overpay for 3.5 games' worth of Jimmy G next spring instead, but a vaguely positive TD/INT ratio from Bubba/Brett/whoever they might find in the 6th round this spring would have these dudes at perennial playoff contention.
 
The Saints played an absolutely atrocious game for much of the second half, still pushed Philadelphia's shit in, then get eliminated anyway because the Vikings suck balls and proved that they were what everyone said they were. SMDH
 
Damar Hamlin for the Bills has been on the ground near mid-field for about 10 minutes now after a hit. He tackled Tee Higgins, got up kind of wobbly and then fell straight back like he was knocked out cold. They're giving him CPR at the moment.

Lot of players are crying or on the verge of tears, I'm guessing its not good. Fact they've been giving CPR for 9 or more minutes is a definite red flag.
 
I hope they fully call off the game. None of the players, especially his poor teammates, are going to be able to properly play after this. I know I wouldn't want to play after seeing a friend and teammate possibly drop dead right in front of me. I hope he pulls through, this is absolutely awful.
 
That didn't even look like that hard a tackle, was that just one of those freak hits that gets a player right between heartbeats and short-circuits the whole operation? CPR, both teams freaking out on camera, the game delayed for 5 and then suspended on a temporary basis? Something real bad went down with poor Hamlin. Here's hoping the paddles of life and an extended hospital stay can get him right.

I wouldn't want to swap places with anybody working in the NYC office tonight. Goodell's gotta be pacing around the floor with his hair on fire right now.
