NFL Week 9

[Tryptamine]

Detroit struggling against a terrible MIA squad. Rams doing the same against a very mediocre to bad Washington squad.

Well that might be the end of Mahome's season. That looked really bad for his throwing elbow.

Man. so many legends falling this season, lots of teams that we thought would be forces facing season destroying situations (Baltimore, I'm also looking at you). 

Perhaps clearing the deck for....

Some how he's OK, I have no idea how he's back in the game based on the video but he is.

[Tryptamine]

GB putting it on NE early. No one in this damn division loses.

[Andy]

Carolina with the dumbest-ass interception in the history of football (on a play with uncalled PI, on a play somehow challenged after the next snap of the ball was completed) costs them what would've been a massive win to take command of this stupid division.

Pretty sure Josh Jacobs broke his finger. Karma I suppose.

[Tryptamine]

Drake Maye sucks

[BigSlick]

Good horsefeathers god man the NFC North refuses to even lose ONE game out of division. Someone needs to get bad, and FAST

If Minnesota takes out the Bills then we're seriously talking about what might be the best division in NFL history.

[Brian707]

The top 4 teams in the NFL might reside in the NFC North if the Vikings dispatch Buffalo tomorrow 

[BigSlick]

on the other hand, Carson Wentz will be starting against the Bills. So there's that 

[BigSlick]

ok i've seen enough: Drake Maye horsefeathers sucks

[Tryptamine]

Pick #3 for Maye. Dude is going to have more INTs this year than Caleb has in his entire career.  Caleb has 14 in his career, as of right now Maybe has 11 so far this year.

[Banedon]

Making the Packers look way better than they are.

How do the Packers get away with just throwing deep ball after deep ball after deep ball?

Little to no pressure on Love is a big reason why it's working.

a few years ago Jordan Love figured out that if you throw a ball up in the air like an easy pop fly you get 1 of 3 outcomes 95% of the time: the DB makes a bad play and the ref throws DPI, your guy just improbably comes down with it, or it falls harmlessly to the ground. For some reason almost nobody else has picked up on doing this.

This to in addition to having all kinds of time to throw.

GB drops what should have been the 4th INT thrown by Maye in the 1st half.

[Brian707]

Remember in 2024 they said Jayden was the best QB of the 2024 draft? Remember in 2025 they said Drake Maye was the best QB in the 2024 draft?

 

[Soul]

The answer to the Love “can of corn” question is that they aren’t 50/50 balls. More like 70/30, especially if you include PI and if it’s Christian Watson on the other end. And if they get 1:1 coverage it’s  an easy decision for Love.

[Tryptamine]

Nice showing New England, way to completely embarrass yourselves.

Yeah, they are 'jump' balls, where the receiver is at a huge advantage, PI aside.
