2020-21 NFL Season

[MUBurrow]

ITS TUA TIME!!!!!
I like it.  I have been worried that Miami would rush Tua, and while this is still a bit earlier than I'd like to see him in there, it seems to be coming from a position of strength.  Fitzpatrick has been fine-to-good, they've won 3 of 4 with the loss an 8 pointer to Seattle, and they're arguably in playoff contention in a weak AFC East.  They had their bye moved to this week from week 11 due to schedule reshuffling, so that probably plays a role here too, but the time seems right enough.

Also, there is no overstating how much it helps to have as cool a customer as Fitzpatrick on the other side of this. If Tua starts taking too much punishment or starts losing confidence, I think Miami could go back and forth between them without having a true QB controversy.  A lot of credit for the Dolphins' ability to bring Tua along at his own pace goes to Fitzpatrick.  If he doesn't want to hunt a starting job for a QB needy 6 win team this offseason, I hope Miami finds a front office landing spot for him.

After a week of listening to the Seahawks try to sell an Antonio brown signing as a redemption tour he's headed to Tampa Bay.

I don't like smug Sean Payton very much but I do like the way he coaches. He just went for a TD on the last play of the half in a situation that probably the other 31 coaches would have kicked a FG.

Defense has been optional in this entertaining Panthers-Saints game.

Hot take...right now the Cowboys are the worst team in the NFL.

True. Somehow, they even managed to make the Washington [          ] look pretty good.

[CreightonWarrior]

Davante Adams is so good.

[The Sultan]

JJ Watt is done
Deshaun Watson is being misused.

[GooooMarquette]

Davante Adams is so good.

Yep. Crazy good stat line today. 13 rec for 196 yards and 2 TDS.

The last hour of football is what makes Sunday Ticket totally worth it.

The last two weeks, the Lions have beaten a really bad team and a team that is out choking them this year.

The Cam hot takes through the first couple of weeks were always dumb. He's terrible, there's no way of sugarcoating it.

I was just about to post the same thing. Newton is as bad as Brady is good. And Brady is really, really good.

[Jockey]

Deshaun Watson is being misused.

I said the same thing about Watt a couple weeks ago. Just a guy, now.

Watson definitely needs an innovative coach (LaFluer, Shanahan, Nagy, etc.) to reach potential.

[Jockey]

Belichick forgot how to coach.   


Every coach needs great players to win - even great coaches.

Sad to see Cam struggle like this, but glad that if he has to struggle it's for the Patriots!

You think Nagy is innovative?

[Jockey]

You think Nagy is innovative?

I do. The problem is that he is not a good head coach. As an OC, I think he could do great things with Watson.

Wonder if the Stephen Gilmore trade rumors (to Chicago) pick up steam this week.

Herbert and Burrow are both going to be very good NFL quarterbacks. People are talking like Lawrence is already Peyton Manning in his prime, but I don't see him as that much better than Burrow was going into the draft last year.

Also, people say Lawrence needs to go back to Clemson if the Jets end up picking first this year. Okay, so what does he do when the Jets go 1-15 next year and get the #1 pick again? Now you've wasted a year of earnings and you added a year into your career where you're stuck on the Jets. And even if the Jets don't wind up with the top pick without Lawrence, you're going to end up with someone like the Jaguars. Your team is going to be in a terrible position no matter who it is.

Lawrence would be dumb to stay in college and those telling him to stay in college because the Jets might draft him are even dumber.

I've seen Badger fans bragging Graham Mertz is going to start for the next 4 years.  I've got news for them, I've he's as good as they think he is, he ain't going to be in Madison for very long.

If I'm Lawrence and the Jets don't make changes, especially the head coach, I'd Eli my way out of there.

Seems a bit unnecessary. I mean obviously would take him in a heartbeat if the price is right but do the Bears even have enough cap room?

Mertz might not start next week.  Positive covid test.

Ya mite cee dudes tryin' ta get da rona if it helps their draft stock like Mertz, aina?

Mertz is going to have a 3 year battle with caronavirus?  And then get drafted by an NFL team?
