2022 NFL Thread (Chiefs win Super Bowl 57)

[El Barto]

@ Bart, I'm glad you're encouraged by today's game, but I did expect this game to be competitive. They are simply not making the plays that need to be made.

I'm quite discouraged by it, honestly.

All we've heard about the last six months is how terrible they're going to be, and how they're going to ruin Mac Jones. That's really not what we've seen. So long as Mac shows improvement and they haven't sank the ship there's reason to be encouraged.


edit: Also, Adam Archuleta is officially the dumbest guy calling games. He really doesn't have a clue about anything. Makes you miss Aquib Talib.

Game of the year already in Cincy.  Steelers/Bengals game was amazing.

Live look at Sheldon impersonating Gisele's reaction to the latest sack on TB12:

I think it was more like this..

Well I have to eat crow, you naysayers were right about Mahomes sucking without Hill. Only 44 pts and 5 TD passes, pretty shitty overall. Get his bum ass out of town and bring back Alex Smith.

But in all seriousness, you guys who thought a generational talent was going to miss a receiver  . Now Rodgers on the other hand . . .

[faizoff]

Bucs defense was solid, offense was shaky but didn't matter. Cool first game win for Coach Todd Bowles.

[Skeever]

There is lots of legit talent on this Jets team, and I enjoyed watching them. Some awful mistakes that cost the Jets the game, but some great moments too. DJ Reed will be good. Sauce Gardner will be good. Garret Wilson will be good. Many of the rookies were playing their first snap of NFL football, and all had shining moments. It's not the "same old Jets", but it's going to take time. Let alone we still need to see if Zach Wilson can step up, once he's healthy.

The Jets had more yards on offense than the Ravens, more first downs, and met them toe-to-toe on turnovers also. Too bad about the mistakes in the beginning and on special teams. This is a young team with a lot of promise that has many rough edges. I like Saleh as a player coach but I wonder if he's got what it takes to take the raw talent of young players and coaches into something that can win games.

[T-ski]

I didn’t really enjoy the Packers strategy of not covering Justin Jefferson.

Yep, one game, against the Cardinals. That should seal up Canton.

I'm kind of with Bart.  That drive was decent.  The secondary seemed to be making good plays in open space.   I don't know; it's one game, and I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet.

My prediction for this season was as carbon copy of last season, and that's what I took away from yesterday's game. I wouldn't call this team a contender, but they'll have a stretch in the middle of playing very good football (people forget they were a top five team last year for a chunk of the season), and be not quite good enough to really go anywhere.

The end of the season they got 3 rough games against teams that should be fighting for high seeds.

Buffalo won't be fighting for nothin come January 8.

Maybe KC for the #1.  Now that only the #1 gets a bye.

Not with KC being in the AFC West and BUF being in the AFC East. The Chiefs are gonna have to battle for their division while the Bills are basically a lock to win theirs barring injury. Because of the quality of teams in their divisions, the Bills should have a few more wins than the Chiefs from those games.

[Dublagent66]

Dak Prescott being out with an injury doesn't even matter.  Dallas' season was done before it even got started.  Can't believe I was dumb enough to pick those fuckers last night.

That front 7 will keep them in close games, but without Prescott they're in deep shit. Their schedule isn't so terrible, they could conceivably come out of it 4-4 before his return. If they do that they'll still be in the hunt in a starkly mediocre NFC-E. Jerry needs to remind Zeek that he's auditioning for his next team right now.

The #1 seed in the east.  Not the AFC East.  Bills will have that wrapped up no problem. EB is probably right but KC is the only team that could possibly keep up with the Bills win total.

I don't think they do. Buffalo will be 14-2 come the final week, and that will include a win over the Chiefs for the tie-breaker.

[Samsara]

p.s. the Jets were what I thought they were.

LOL.

There's no hope for this franchise. Literally none.

[Dublagent66]

The Jets scored 3 times as many points as Dallas.  That's at least something.

I'll say this again, I think they are the only team to have a shot.  It doesn't mean they will be in position to do so. 

[emtee]

Lions lose again. Some things never change. Death, taxes, Lions losses.

Cooper Rush!   .  They played a clip with Jerry Jones on Rob Dibble's show, and dammit, I almost felt bad for him.  He was clearly distraught.   I don't think for Dad the person, but for his team.

I actually think Canton is sealed up, but the Cards suck. I said that I would expect KC to come back down to earth. I very well could be a year early with that prediction, but they started the season with a creampuff.

Hey - at least Cooper has the right last name RUSH!

Oh, you mean close games of 3 points or less?   They were in deep shit before taking the field.  I just didn't realize how much.  Zeke ran pretty good (no thanks to the O-line) and Dak was high fiving pass rushers with his follow thru (no thanks to the O-line).  Only one top receiver on the field doesn't get it done either.  Zeke doesn't really need to audition for anyone as he has already established himself in that regard.  Someone should remind JJ that he needs a substantial backup QB instead of promoting a guy from the practice squad behind Cooper Rush.

[KevShmev]

KC won't be fighting for the 1 seed. They will be duking it out with the Chargers for 2nd place in the AFC West after the Broncos clinch the division. 

[King Postwhore]

I'd love to see him fail. As a Brady fan. But, his worst year starting for them is 12-4 the last 4 years. I think it could happen but the % is small.

[KevShmev]

I don't get why Patriots fans hate Mahomes.  Oh, he is a threat to Brady's GOATness, right?  And the way the media talks him up is his fault, right?   

[King Postwhore]

Bullseye!  Lol. Hey, I can be petty.

[KevShmev]

Can't we all, when it comes to sports?

[King Postwhore]

Lolol. For sure.
