NFL Week 3

[Tryptamine]

Early things of note

Cam Ward has been pretty damn bad so far.

Minnesota offense moves down the field effortlessly with McCarthy out. 

[Tryptamine]

Another early hot take. Either the Raider oline is awful or the Bears dodged a huge bullet with Jeanty.

[Tryptamine]

I did not expect Minnesota to absolutely destroy Cincy even without  Burrow.

Fear not, had the Bears been able to draft Jeanty and, done so, he's be just as terrible.  Probably worse.  Don't know why even some of the reportedly good picks by Poles forget to play football as soon as they enter Halas Hall.

[Tryptamine]

Minnesota kicker makes a 62 yard FG with plenty of extra distance. 

[Hot Sauce]

Jacksonville leading the NFL in drops and not finding a way to get Travis Hunter the ball is peak Jaguars football.

[Tryptamine]

Cleveland got robbed. Jacobs apparently recovers a fumble with 1 hand while the Cleveland player has both arms wrapped around it.

[MidoreX]

Packers with a very Bears-like loss... Ha!

[Tryptamine]

Wow, what a comeback Cleveland. That defense is terrifying.

[Derwood]

At least we haven't lost to the Browns (yet)

[Hot Sauce]

Quinshon Judkins is a dawg.

That defense is incredible. They would dominate the Bear offense.

[PackLandVA]

That loss was brutal, in general, but especially after having a two score lead with less the 4 minutes to go. And then to still have a chance to win the game with, effectively, a chip shot by today’s standards (43 yards) only to have it blocked.  Ugh!
 

As much as I hate when they lose, maybe this will humble them a bit. Too much BS talk, especially from some of the players.

Right now probably, week 15, in December, I'll take my chances with Caleb and the Bears offense.

[gflore34]

Thinking CJ Stroud may be a one-off after all.

[gflore34]

Chiefs have Mahomes and nothing else, no play makers, Kelce has lost a step.  If Burden improves on today, I wonder if any thought will be given to shipping DJ to KC.  Think they might be able to get a 2nd rounder, at the very least, a 3rd rounder.

[Soul]

Skattebo is fun.  I really wish he would have been there for the Bears to take.

[bukie]

If the Chiefs lose today, they might start to tear it all down.

I think DJ would be the backup plan for them. I've heard some rumors that they want to bring Tyreek Hill back. 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

The Chiefs get Worthy back next week and Rice a few weeks after that, so their lack of passing game dynamism is a temporary problem.  Their bigger issue is their run game is incapable of getting chunk plays and struggles with consistency, which is a personnel shortcoming there isn't as much of a solution for.

[bukie]

Harrison Butker keeps pushing it far right.

And he's also missing field goals.

Ashton Jeanty

3 games

3.1 YPC

 

[soccer10k]

The Eagles led 7-0 after one possession for each team. The Rams then scored on their next 6 possessions without the Eagles scoring at all. The Eagles still won the game. Partly because 4 of those 6 scores were FGs but also because the Rams had a FG blocked to end the game.

Pretty legendary bad beat too. Up 27-6, down 1 with 3 seconds left and attempting a FG while catching 3.5 and they have the FG blocked and returned for a TD.

Man, I feel for James Conner.
