NFL Week 3

[NOLA]

Ryan horsefeathering Fitzpatrick has had an amazing career. He stands at 36th in NFL total passing yards ahead of names like Steve Young and Kurt Warner (short careers, sure) but also Troy Aikman and McNair. He’s basically tied with Phil Simms.

What a beast....What beasts even, look at Becton on that play...Gd, Jets are basically Japanese fishermen now, out there catching whales!

 

I have no idea what this means, but I’m guessing that “catching whales” is some euphemism for “getting their brains beat in”

I was a little surprised at Kamara’s deal but holy horsefeathers is he good. Nice play calling going with the power run game down the field.

His agility is just stupid

Nice tackling by GB.

Why, yes. Yes it is.

Not much rooting interest here, but these officials have made 3-4 calls, miscalls and spots now just blatantly in the favor of the Packers.

Way to kill momentum with gimmicks.

Way to kill momentum with gimmicks.

That is right in the flow of how the Saints play every week. Hardly a gimmick.

The Taysum Hill usage and play calls all seem so forced and useless. Glad to see a horsefeathers up there.

Moving the ball fine with Brees, bring in the QB/ATH to run a RPO/wildcat type option isn't smart. Fwiw, I hate the wildcat.

So much truth

[UK]

I thought the refs were trash in the Bears game, this is equally garbage.

Just looked at the reverse standings and if any of the currently 10 worse teams end up with the #1 pick at the end of this season, there will be some HUGE dominoes that fall.

 

0-3 teams: Atlanta, Giants, Denver, Minnesota, Jets, Miami.

0-2-1 teams: Cincinnati and Philly

 

Then you have Dallas and the Chargers at 9 & 10 spots.

 

The only of these teams that I think would NOT take Trevor Lawrence first is the Bengals. That means if any of these teams ends up with the #1 pick, they'll be able to potentially trade it for the largest compensation in the history of the league (Lawrence is a franchise changing prospect). OR they'll put either a young QB with potential or an established stud on the market.

 

These teams would almost certainly get rid of Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, Sam Darnold, Tua Tagavailoa, and Justin Herbert; and could get really good compensation from a team for a young, cheap QB.

 

Dallas still hasn't signed Dak long-term so they'd obviously let him walk, putting a 40Mil/year QB on the market. They likely aren't #1 pick bad anyway.

 

Atlanta definitely has #1 pick potential, and Matt Ryan has a near 41Mil cap hit next year which makes him almost untradeable. But even at 35, I could see a team finding a way to make that contract work if they're close.

 

Cousins has a 31Mil cap hit for next year, then can be cut with 10M dead. Again someone close could make a move.

 

Wentz is really interesting as well, as the Eagles drafted a QB this year. But the way he's playing, they'd have to get rid of him for a generational talent like Lawrence. 34Mil cap hit, an out after 2021 but way younger than Ryan and Cousins. Intriguing for any team.

 

But a team like Dallas (cap space w/o Dak), New Orleans (cap space if Brees retires like he should), New England, Chicago or Las Vegas could be a team that could manuever enough space to try to make a run with one of these big money, veteran QBs.

Zero passes over 20 yards last night, after just three passes over 20 yards in the first two games. It’s not that Drew can’t throw it deep (and maybe he can’t), it’s that he isn’t even trying and teams are crowding the box.

Which makes it even more impressive what Kamara is doing since opposing safeties aren’t ever guarding a deep threat and can play closer to the LOS.

You missed one winless team, the Texans, aka the anti-Bears, 0-3 after a schedule of Chiefs-Ravens-Steelers.

Yep. I kept waiting for a play action deep ball that never materialized.

 

Btw...

Good catch. I saw a tweet that missed the Texans as well. I was going off of that.
