NFL week 1 (Ray Rice/Goodell fiasco)

[Banedon]

I just think you guys are so hypersensitive about him, much the way I would be about a Saint probably. Any QB who isn't named Peyton, Rodgers, Brady or Brees would have been called out for a dumb decision on that play. In fact, I hear national announcers calling out Drew for some boneheaded things he's done in the past during broadcasts.

 

It's just gotten to the point where when any QB in the league uses questionable judgement, some guys go there immediately. Hell, Cutler is a pretty good QB but Romo and Eli with his 2 rings get at least as much grief as Jay. If anyone gets off too easy by the media, it's not Rodgers but Matty Ice in Atlanta.

 

Bears fans might be especially sensitive to it too, because it's not just the national media that does it. The Chicago sports media loves to hate it's own players.

I was relived the Packers passed on Mosley for Clinton-Dix.

 

Clinton-Dix had a few missed tackles. Did put himself in good position a few times to miss those tackles, so there's that. I always felt Haha was the third best safety in the draft behind Pryor and Ward, so I have to make sure I'm not rating him too hard after that.

He went like 5 picks before they picked to Baltimore, I'm pretty sure they didn't pass on him. Right?

Bulaga torn MCL, shouldn't be back by the time they play the Bears.

Bulaga torn MCL, shouldn't be back by the time they play the Bears.

 

Per Schefter it's sprained MCL, not torn, and he shouldn't miss much time. Not considered serious.

A moderate sprain partially tears the ligament, producing joint instability, and some swelling.

Didn't we learn with Cutler that sprain = tear?

[Careless]

Cutler upset with teammates is about the same as Rivers/Rodgers/every QB. Cutler doesn't really complain about everything else all the time like those 2 guys do though. I'm pretty sure Cutler just gives an "F you" to the refs and walks off (to smoke a cigarette).

 

But only 1 NFL QB has THIS face:

I think that might look as creepy as it does with the mouth eyes.

So he did. Still glad the Packers didn't get him or Pryor.

Does something to my psyche every time I see it. Can't seem to take my eyes off it. Hypnotic in a bad way.

Has Jay said he believes the antivax stuff or does he just go along with his wife?

 

Why would that matter?

Yes we did, well some of us anyway. He has a TORN MCL per reports on Twitter. More O-line problems for the Pack.

[Flames24Rulz]

It sounds like that Bulaga's injury is really a best case scenario. He should be week to week.

Yay, CBS and DirecTV got their [expletive] together

[Cubswin11]

Looks like Gordon and Welker could have their suspensions severely cut or even omitted if the league and NFLPA can agree on these new testing rules.

They won't agree on anything in time for Welker, much less Gordon

My bold predictions for this season.

 

1. Every year there is a team that starts on a long undefeated streak and doesn't win the Super Bowl. This year, that team will be the Indianapolis Colts starting 9-0. A streak that will include wins over Denver, Philly, and Cincinnati.

 

2. Seattle will continue the 8-year streak of a Superbowl champ NOT winning a playoff game the next year, though they will be a playoff team and host said playoff game.

 

3. Five In/Five Out. Five playoff teams that will not make it this year: Green Bay, San Francisco, Kansas City, Carolina, and San Diego. In = Chicago, Tampa Bay, Arizona, Tennessee and Buffalo. Yes, Buffalo.

 

4. Defense is back! Teams with mediocre offenses and strong defenses will be the story of the season as teams with top 10 defenses will fare better than teams with top 10 offenses, with more playoff teams coming w top 10 D's.

 

5. Perennial contenders, GB and SF will have disasterous seasons. SF will fall due to contract disputes from players and Harbaugh, suspensions, in-fighting, inconsistent QB play. Injuries will finally catch up to GB as they will not be able to squeak into the playoffs after this year's Aaron Rodgers' injury.

 

6. For only the 3rd time in NFL history, a RB will have over 1000 yards receiving. That RB, Darren Sproles.

 

7. Jacksonville and Cleveland will each win at least 7 games, and neither will draft in the top 10 for the first time in over 10 years.

 

8. Peyton, Brady, Brees nor Stafford will lead the league in passing yards or TDs. One of Rivers, Luck, or Ryan will.

 

9. Storied franchises: Steelers, Giants, Cowboys, and 49ers all pick in the top 10 next draft.

 

10. The Patriots will win the Superbowl.

 

AFCE- Patriots, Bills, Jets, Dolphins

AFCN- Bengals, Ravens, Browns, Steelers

AFCS- Colts, Titans, Jags, Texans

AFCW- Broncos, Chargers, Raiders, Chiefs

 

NFCE- Eagles, Redskins, Giants, Cowboys

NFCN- Bears, Lions, Packers, Vikings

NFCS- Saints, Bucs, Falcons, Panthers

NFCW- Seahawks, Cards, 49ers, Rams

 

Superbowl= Patriots over Eagles

Brees spreads the ball around too much for that, especially with the addition of Cooks.

[dew1679666265]

Titan D looking good, but I suspect that's just because the Chiefs are terrible when Charles isn't awesome.

[dew1679666265]

I think every pass Jake Locker has missed has been high. That's not good.

 

Even a few completions have been high.

It looks to me like Brown was going for a hurdle expecting the punter to dive at his feet and then the punter didn't.
