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

[King Postwhore]

The only reason Edelman will get votes for the HOF was he made the biggest of plays durring the biggest of games.  Will that be enough to get nominated? 

I'm not sure.

[Cool Chris]

The NFL should take a cue from the MLB, where as many or few players can get in as the voting committee pleases

MLB HoF is capped at 10 I believe.

[T-ski]

Stafford and Lions agree to part ways.

Speaking of... New Lions coach dropped an epic presser, surprised it hasn't been mentioned here (unless I missed it).

How was his relationship with Patricia?

And, how are Jerry Jones and Al Davis in, but not Art Modell? Oh, that's right......'politics' and power of those who get to pick. 

I can make a strong argument for Jerry Jones contribution but Art Modell? What were his contributions?

I saw the high(low?)lights a couple of days ago, thought of mentioning it, but was afraid he'd bite my knee caps off!   Supposedly, the players liked him in Atlanta. But......that wasn't as a HC.  The dude is not the classiest.  And, yes, he has 'Dude' written after his name on his office door.....
 

[Dream Team]

Anything better than a minority, eh Detroit?

[KevShmev]

I hope Stafford ends up on a winning franchise where he has a chance to win while he is still close to his prime.  He has been a good QB saddled on a joke franchise.

Agreed. I think New England would be a good landing spot for him.

I don't.  They have almost no weapons on offense, and who knows if Belichick will give a crap about getting better ones. We know he can't draft WR's, so they'd have to make a splash in free agency, and he is more about getting good role players for cheap rather than paying for stars, and that worked well because of how good Brady was with getting the best out of those players on offense.  Stafford would be great in Indy.

I would like to see that.  That could be a really good situation for him.

They have a ton of money to play with you just can't figure out with BB where he is going with it.

Cam was a sham in NE. I think with a competent QB NE sniffs the playoffs. Take the draft picks coupled with their cap figure and draft a future QB and I think they're back quicker than people think.

[jammindude]

I don’t get this last challenge. Even if the ball did hit the goal line, even if the ball was in the Endzone, the runner has the option of returning the kick. He did return the kick. So it doesn’t matter if it hit the goal line or not, right?

[jammindude]

I’m sorry but that was a horrible cold by the officials. I’d be screaming bloody murder if I was Tampa Bay right now.

[hunnus2000]

The returner waived off the kick so when it hit the chalk, it was technically down by rule.

It was a good call.

OK. I did not see the returner wave off the kick nor did I hear the commentators mention it. If that’s the case, then I retract my previous criticism

[KevShmev]

So, the refs miss a blatant hold on a Rodgers INT and then the Bucs score a TD as a result. A 10-14 point swing.

No one is arguing Brady's greatness, but this is why he is also the luckiest ever as well (you can be both).  It's uncanny how his teams almost always get calls (or non-calls) in their favor in these games.

[hunnus2000]

All I gots to say is DAY-UM!

To the last touchdown.

[jammindude]

I was thinking the same thing. That hold was so blatant I can’t believe that’s not a challengeable call.

[TAC]

That was a huge non call.

[KevShmev]

That said, this is not surprising me.  I didn't think much of the GB pass rush before today, and you can't let Brady stand back all day.  Meanwhile, the Bucs pass rush is getting to Rodgers. That is the difference so far, aside from that missed call that may have swung the game.

[hunnus2000]

They should have a referee in the skybox and all they would have to do is call down and say 'I see a penalty'.

That said, they could do this on almost every play.

Oh, for sure. Bad calls or non-calls are gonna happen; I just hate seeing them on scoring plays or turnovers.

Meanwhile, the Packers are back to being their gutless selves.

Remember that narrative a while back about how Rodgers doesn't play well when trailing?  Okay, Aaron, let's see what you can do.

[T-ski]

The Packers offense is having its way with this number one ranked Rams defense. They look like the best team in the league right now.

I will never trust a Packers defense, never.

Never

[KevShmev]

Packers getting it going on offense a little now, and just forced a Brady pick on D.  I am sure they will pile up some yards en route to a 45-38 loss.

[King Postwhore]

4th quarter going to be riveting!

[Stadler]

So... quick quiz:  what's more annoying:  the Bernie meme, or the "Belichick can't draft wide receivers" trope?  (By the way, Kev, NOT saying this in response to you; it was on my mind before I read what you wrote; that's why I'm not quoting you). 

No, he hasn't established a "GOAT" at WR in his last couple drafts, or maybe ever.  But so what?  I'm not trading "drafting ODB, Jr." for all those rings he still found a way to win despite.  "Not drafting great WR's" is NOT why they didn't make the playoffs (and no, I don't think that's why Brady left, either).

[emtee]

Great game so far!

[Stadler]

Got to take advantage of one of these picks....

[T-ski]

To say the Packers are missing their all-pro LT would be an understatement.

[TAC]

Watch Brady throw a pick six here.
