2021 NFL Thread v. Super Bowl 56: Rams vs Bengals

[KevShmev]

Holy ball sack!!

[King Postwhore]

I'm coming to you Elizabeth.

NE was too conservative with their play calling in OT.  They hadn't stopped Dallas all day, so being aggressive should have been the goal when they got the ball first instead of the "let's run it on 1st and 2nd down and hope we convert a 3rd down" philosophy.  Josh McDaniels is overrated.

Great game by Dak.  That was an MVP performance.

[Stadler]

The Pats are going to be M. R. Nasty next year.   That’s not fanboy, that’s the reality that teams that do well in close games often turn the corner the next season.    They are playing good teams well, and that’s going to pay off.

[King Postwhore]

Making plays vs. Not making plays.  It's as easy as that.

You kill me, Fred.  😊

The truth hurts. 

[TAC]

That game was a killer.

I agree.

I don't know what M.R. Nasty is, but every week I see something that encourages me. Today McCorkle showed visible annoyance at Bill calling a timeout in a situation he thought he had under control. That's confidence. I don't see this kid being a bust, and that bodes very well for NE if they put together another good draft.

[Stadler]

M.R. Nasty is something one of my friends always says; it's a play on Mr. Nasty, but I don't know any more than that.

Well, I didn't have to watch the Jets lose this week and that Seattle 1st round pick we got in the Jamal Adams trade keeps looking better.

[Skeever]

Still get to see Wilson at the top of the INT board though even when they didn't play one week

Shhhhhhhhhh just let me have this

Meanwhile, the Broncos are getting it handed to them at home by a Raiders team that has had a nightmare of a week and change.  Vic Fangio is the worst head coach in NFL history. 

First Broncos game I've gotten to see this season, and they laid a big steaming turd.  Ugh....

[Dream Team]

Well, Mac Jones just had a game where he led 2 go-ahead drives in the 4th quarter and still lost. Never happened to his predecessor in 350 starts. Sorry Mac, no horseshoes for you! Also, you didn't will the defense to make a stop in OT.

[King Postwhore]

That's your take from the game?  Kid is doing well for a rookie..  The D couldn't get off the field.  That's why they lost.

People seem to forget that Brady was CARRIED by his defense his first few seasons before he developed into the greatest QB of all time. Mac Jones doesn’t have the luxury of being able to lean on his defense the way Brady did early in his career. Mac is doing very well for the situation he’s in and with pieces around him he’ll become a great player in this league.

Also I hate you guys for making me defend the Patriots…

[King Postwhore]

 


Very true.  Not all true rookies come out of the gates great.  Look at Troy Aikman's 1st season as an example.

[El Barto]

It's kind of hard to tell, but I think Dream Team was sarcastically defending Mac (or dumping on Brady).

[King Postwhore]

Dumping on N.E. that they don't have Brady to bail them out.  Of course he did. I don't expect that from a rookie.

If Dream Team's lips were moving, he was dumping on Brady. 


Can't speak for anyone else, but I'm rather satisfied with Mac Jones at this point in his career.   Yeah, he's not perfect, but he's doing things I like to see.  He's tough in the pocket, he's getting to his 3rd and even 4th reads... once he gets the full game plan, it's going to be fun being a Pats fan again.

[King Postwhore]

They had to burn a timeout in the 4th quarter and you could see Mac pissed off at the player who caused it so he knew where that player should have lined up.

That's a vet understanding.

[dparrott]

Rams and Raiders!!! 

I thought the Chargers game would be closer than that.  Still work to do.

All you Seahawks haters won't have to worry about them this year.

Well, as much as I can sympathize with your plight after 3 straight loses, I think Dan Campbell has him beat.  Cried like a baby at the press conference last week and this week he throws Goff under the bus.  The guy is a mondo loser.

I wonder how all that kneecap biting is working out.

[TheRich13]

When I was 8 years old we took a trip to Florida and we visited my Dad’s cousins . They bought me some gifts. A Miami Dolphins looseleaf book for school , a Dolphins football and a jersey, #42 Paul Warfield . I didn’t know much about football at that age but they explained that was their team so I’ve followed them ever since . Growing up in NY I caught plenty of hell from all my friends who were Jet fans. but the Marino years sure were some great times !
FF to now , been living in South Florida for 17 years , still a Dolphins fan but I am totally disgusted with this team and unfortunately have been for quite some time …I used to be so upset when they lost,  now  I expect it . They lose their home opener to a division rival 35 -0 , and now lose to an 0-5 team ..A one time proud organization, then became an average team and now they aren’t even an average team … Any other long time suffering Dolphins fans that want to chat , send me a message.

They are wasting this roster with an awful coach and not having a franchise QB. Teddy is a solid QB, but not a guy who can win without everything around him in good shape.   If you get the coach and the QB right, you always have a chance.  If you can't get either right, you are screwed.  And that has been the Broncos since Manning retired and Kubiak stepped down.

Campbell's fatal flaw is expecting more out of Jared Goff.  McVay squeezed everything good he could out of Goff and then bailed the second a better option became available.

What a finish tonight.

D. Henry should probably be the MVP, but good luck getting the voters to give to a RB in 2021.

He 100% should be the MVP. Nobody is on his level, and the Titans would be a laughingstock without him.

Well, I didn't have to watch the Jets lose this week and that Seattle 1st round pick we got in the Jamal Adams trade keeps looking better.

According to his intro on the Sunday Night game, Jamal Adams is "the best in the world." 

After 6 games, his stat line is: 0 sacks, 0 hurries, 0 interceptions, and 0 passes defended. I have no idea how PFF works, but they have him ranked as the 59th safety in the league.

D.K. Metcalf is a moron, in a couple of ways.

[TheCountOfNYC]

D.K. Metcalf is a moron, in a couple of ways.

Who remembers last year when Metcalf whined about not getting the ball in the playoffs, so the Seahawks called a play that telegraphed Wilson passing to him, and the Rams picked it off for a touchdown.

Ooh!  Ooh!  I do! I do!     

[KevShmev]

Metcalf reminds me of Odell Beckham: an all-world talent at WR who is a total idiot.  Odds are he will be his own worst enemy, just like Beckham has been.

And trying to trash talk Shannon Sharpe is almost always a losing proposition. 

[Cool Chris]

Some local radio guys were talking about that, one of them thought maybe he actually had no idea who Shannon Sharpe was. It's not like he is Red Grange; Sharpe played in to the 2000s, right?

Also heard on the radio the Seahawks had some talks with Cam Newton, and that he had at some point dated Russell Wilson's wife Ciara. Reports say if they sign Cam, this could be a distraction, not only on the practice field, but also at the Homecoming Dance and in geometry class.
