2020 NFL Thread v. Tom Brady aging better than Mila Kunis

[dparrott]

I'm rooting for the Rams to go all the way and win Super Bowl. That way, the city of LA will have a sports trifecta. Might as well in this time of the covids. 

I'm with that!!!  They played a good game, but the Phins D ate them up.

Chargers.    

Raiders beat the Browns!!! 

[dparrott]

Chargers still getting close but can't beat the 4th quarter jinx!  Go Raiders!!!   

Seahawks hoped to cook some buffalo wings but get fried themselves.    At least the 49ers and Cards lost too.

Bruce Areans looks like a damn suicide bomber.

Say what?  Suicide bombers don't wear face shields.

Nah, he looks like he'd got a bomb strapped to him.

[King Postwhore]

He looks like he's ready to disarm a bomb.

Yeah a steak bomb. Lol

[King Postwhore]

 

[Dream Team]

Brady is ASS. Lol

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Wow, the Saints really came out swinging!

[TAC]

Brady is ASS. Lol

He fucking couldn't pass the salt at the dinner table.

[Dream Team]

The NFL is crazy. Any given Sunday indeed. Steelers almost blew a trap game because their special teams were horrid.

[El Barto]

That's going to be the second worst game of Brady's career. First was week 1 of 2003. His passer rating was slightly better tonight, very slightly, but they lost by more points. What may be a difference maker is how ugly a couple of tonight's picks were. Christ, he was just threw a couple of those up for grabs. I don't recall how he looked against Buffalo in 2003.

Man, every time I get so fed up with bad reffing and other bullshit and wanna give up the NFL permanently the damn Saints keep having really good seasons and roping me back in. Here are some stats that no one other than a Saints fan will give a shit about:

Worst loss of Tom Brady's career. Former worst was the game Barto was talkin about which was 31-0.

The Saints also gave him his seventh-worst loss which was a 38-17 beatdown on MNF the year the Saints won the SB.

Of Brady's 7 INTs thrown this season, 5 have been at the hands of the Saints.

Saints had 40:04 time of possession tonight.

Bucs were 0-3 on 4th down including a goal line stand originating at 1st and goal from the 1.

Only a gentlemen's agreement kneeldown on the final play of the game prevented the Bucs from tying the NFL record for fewest rushing attempts in a game (4).

Those 5 rushes produced 8 total yards.

I was glued to the Panthers game last night. I was really hoping for a miracle with that last ditch field goal.

Minor point, but I understand they STILL have the record.   I thought the record was 6, shared by 4 teams, and so even with the kneeldown (which counts as a rush) they own it.  I could very well be wrong, I was listening to Queen and Paul Rodgers in the Ukraine at the time.

Hands down, that was the best game the Cowboys played all year. Crazy indeed.......

[Stadler]

What was the decision-making process at QB for Dallas?   

It looks to me like DiNucci got demoted back to third string, since Gilbert was the starter and he split snaps with Cooper Rush in practice. 

[cramx3]

If only the Giants could play Washington every week...

I saw 21-0 and then the interception.  N.O. D line was incredible the 1st quarter.  So much pressure on Brady.  They dominated.

The Ukraine?  Is that anything like The France or The Brazil?

Haha, yes.  My grandfather's side of the fam is from there and that's what it was always called. 

[hefdaddy42]

Me too.

The Panthers have pretty much been in every game this season.  They just find some way not to win.  In yesterday's game, they didn't seem to manage time very well at all on that last drive.

The drive where Curtis Samuel made an incredible catch, Bridgewater picked up that insane launching first down on 4th & 14, and McCaffrey made that OTHER incredible catch was one of the best sustained drives I've seen from anyone in a long time.

Oof.

God I love that scene. Just wish that gif went on for like 10 more seconds.

[Cool Chris]

I know! Without it the scene loses the whole punchline. I opted for a .gif over a video link though for simplicity's sake.

[black_biff_stadler]

No sweat. I usually don't click blind links anyway so the gif worked better in this situation.

The Jets hate the Patriots so much they'll throw their shot at Trevor Lawrence in the garbage can for a benign regular season win against them.

[eric42434224]

My Dolphins are becoming relevant again, and it is an organic and sustainable growth.  I have hope for the future.  D looking good, Tua showing promise, and the coaching/culture is strong.

[TheCountOfNYC]

The Jets hate the Patriots so much they'll throw their shot at Trevor Lawrence in the garbage can for a benign regular season win against them.

Nah. They play three great quarters of football but shit the bed in the fourth up by ten against their biggest rival and lose to their former playoff hero kicker. It’s not that the Jets lose. A lot of teams do that. It’s the way they lose that feels like a dagger to the heart. I’m a loyalist who has endured a lot of heartbreak through the years but this season is really testing me. And Trevor Lawrence won’t do much on this team if there isn’t any talent around him. It will just turn into another potential franchise player wasted by the team’s inability to build around him.

[cramx3]

Trevor Lawrence might stay at Clemson if the Jets were first pick anyway, tanking for a draft pic is a terrible idea when you are only half way through the season.  However, the Jets are just that bad it seems.

[Stadler]

Two observations: The Patriots still aren't good, and no one - least of all Cam - should be breathing a sigh of relief over this win.  Their strongest unit - their secondary - shit the bed against a below average offense for most of the game.  (Though Cam did throw the ball well yesterday, I'll give him that.  A number of good, 18-22 yard receptions that really moved the ball.  And the D shut the Jets down in the 4th quarter; they ran four plays total - FOUR - in the entire 4th quarter, when even FIVE would have at least put them in overtime.)   

Two, the Jets aren't getting Trevor Lawrence, unless something happens (like his stock drops appreciably more than it has).   They're not going to win more than two games this year - I think Flacco will pull them over the hump at least that many times, once someone starts looking past them, which the Pats could not afford to do - but they're not getting Lawrence, and it's foolish to be thinking that way at this point. 

[Dream Team]

If they end up expanding the playoffs this year, my team is going to end up getting hosed TWICE - first by having their bye week forced into week 4 because of the Titans’ outbreak and having to play 13 weeks in a row, but also losing their first round bye (assuming they stay ahead of KC).

We've actually learned a lot of useful things. We've learned that Stidham is not the guy. We've confirmed what we've already suspected, which is that Harry is another WR bust. We've learned that Damien Harris and Damir Byrd are both solid, and Jakobi Myers is a reliable backup. The O-line, when healthy, is still very good. While the season is a wash, there is some hope going forward.

One thing I'd hoped for before the season was that whoever the QB was would go out and play a little looser with the young receivers, and that's what we're seeing. Brady simply would not throw to people he didn't trust. That's something I wanted to see change, and the result is working in some of the scrappier young guys into the mix, and that's been a good thing. It sucks to treat an entire season as an evaluation period, but this season is a clusterfuck anyway. The cap is clearing out. Good players should be back next year. Young players are evaluated in real games.
