Around the NFL - Gameday Discussion thread

The NFL is king. Feel free to pay your respects.
McCarthy out there playing football like Sonic the hedgehog 🦔
 
Why do the refs allow the OL to keep lining off the ball like that?

They are supposed to be shoulder to shoulder in a line.
 
John Allen just whiffed on a sack of Caleb Williams.
 
JJ looks like the rookie he basically is. Glad I didn’t draft Jefferson in any leagues. I did end up with Hockenson in one league though.

JJ will figure things out somewhat at some point but the Vikings aren’t a contender this year. Yes I determined all that from one half of football. Lol

The bears will likely win this game and bears fans will rejoice thinking they are on their way to the SB and crown Caleb as the greatest QB.
 
Clearly you can't judge a guy on his first half of football, but I never saw the intrigue of McCarthy.

4 of 8 for 48 yards and apparently half of those came on his last pass.

Caleb 13 of 16 is good, however they only have 10 points.

I said before the season my two biggest regression candidates for the season were the Vikings and Lions. I thought the Lions might be the second place team in the division.

After week one, it clearly looks like Green Bay is the class of that division, and everybody else is struggling.
 
Troy and Buck are talking about Ben Johnson is a coach of the year candidate while his team is up 10-6 on a Vikings team starting a red shirt rookie QB.

In a game like this, you have to have something to talk about. This game has been awful. Vikings are looking like paper tigers.
 
Keep Caleb contained, keep underneath stuff covered and make him throw intermediate and deep. Doesn’t havre the consistency at that depth to sustain a great season. He’s a Rich mans Colt McCoy. His is more inaccuracy than arm strength though.

Caleb gets a little pressure in his face and he throws worm burners.

I also heard earlier on ESPN pregame that Washington wanted to hire Johnson but he chose to wait for a better opportunity. Seems to me that was proven to be a false narrative that Washington actually wanted DQ but was interested in interviewing Johnson too. But I guess accuracy isn’t as important as a fun story.
 
Vikings offensive tackles are getting absolutely demolished. They suck!

To be fair to ESPN, lots of junk was written by many, many people the way that ESPN said it. The team said what you wrote months later. For people like us, big fans of the team, there were other little hints and pieces of evidence that kind of showed the team's story to have real legs to it, so it actually does seem to have truth (just little things like AP talking about what he saw in DQ early on and his timeline/detail really corroborated; things like that).

So, I don't totally blame ESPN for getting it wrong, but yes, totally agree with you there. They got it wrong from what I can see.

As for this game, I was pretty interested to see how Caleb and his new look OL and of course coach looked. I do think Ben Johnson is an arrogant jerk, but I also do believe he has some good ideas about O, much like Jax new coach as well. It's going to be an interesting season, seeing how the new HCs adapt; lots of interesting stories across the league this year.

Both the Bears and the Vikings look like hot garbage.

This is evidence one why I don’t play the schedule game. The Vikings won something like 13 or 14 games last year and this year they might win 7 or 8. Detroit might win 8-9 and the bears might be in the same area. That division easily could go from a 3 playoff team division to a one playoff team division.

Maybe not.

But you never know.

Thus ends the sermon
 
All I need is DJ Moore to make one more damn catch to win my weekly fantasy matchup…but painted nails keeps throwing to Zacheaus 😡
