Didn't think it would happen but I guess when you barely crack 100 yards in 30 pass attempts, that will do it

That WR screen to Warren with zero blockers must have been the nail in his coffin.

Unfortunately, I don't think this is going to make Pickett stop being really bad at quarterbacking.

The "any WR with a pulse can be a star in KC" take is suffering a genuine beating this year...

Did Goodell know or not?

This is somewhat wild to reflect on---

Kevin Adams
@MagicSportsGuy
Sam Howell is averaging 45.5 pass attempts p/g over his last 5.

For some context, Peyton Manning averaged 41.2 pass attempts p/g in his historic 2013 season & the all-time record is 45.4 by Stafford in 2012.

I'm having flashbacks to the Reid Eagles pre-Owens. Just a cavalcade of incompetence.

I don’t think anyone “cares” or certainly should care. it’s just a funny story made a little funnier by the piety of NFL management.

Player A 60.7 comp% 34990 yards 223/169 TD/INT 6.9 YPA

Player B 61.5 comp% 32942 yards 165/141 TD/INT 7.0 YPA

Both retired. Guesses?

[+] spoiler: Player A is the legendary Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Player B is first-ballot Hall of Famer Troy Aikman.

Me listening to the Schatz and Tanier NFL Podcast:

Tanier, talking about the Seahawks: "...and they have a 41 year-old Right Tackle just called off the street in Jason Peters..."

Me: "Wait... what???"

Has there ever been a worse team than the Patriots favoured on the road this late in a season?

Post by **brian** » Wed Nov 22, 2023 6:55 pm

Lions social media leaked they’re wearing their 1950s throwbacks tomorrow. (Honolulu blue with silver numbers. No outlines, no piping.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Wed Nov 22, 2023 7:35 pm

Don’t they usually do that for Thanksgiving? Just like Dallas does the white helmets with the unoutlined blue star?

I like the Detroit throwbacks a lot btw.

Not lately. I think last couple years they did the dumb Color Rush jerseys

I liked that look for Dallas and hope they go back to it now that the helmet rules have been lifted.

I bet the over so all good here.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Thu Nov 23, 2023 1:09 pm

Personally, I would have called that an incomplete pass not a fumble.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Thu Nov 23, 2023 1:09 pm

I’d like to see Detroit do well, but I’d like to see my team get the #1 seed more.

I prefer the Lion on the helmet over the all-silver.

He did double-duty on SNL last season. I still don’t know who he is.

Is face-guarding not a penalty anymore?

Moved this from another thread:

So with 6.03 to play the 1st Quarter I have seen 3 Washington receptions in a row where the WR has been thrown to the floor by a Dallas DB grabbing the frame of the WR's helmet, without holding the facemask. So in effect twisting the player's neck around and nothing has been called/flag thrown etc,... Should those types of tackles be called?

Elway can fuck right off, that is all...

Clock malfunction in Cincinnati, time being kept on the field, not being shown on screen. Chaos! How did we watch football back in the day?

The officiating in this Texans game is egregiously awful. I fucking hate referees so bad.
