2021-2022 NFL Season

[The Sultan]

King should not only sit, he should be cut.

Joe Barry Carroll has been a DC in the NFL for 4 years. His teams finished 30th, 31st, 15th, and 32nd in the rankings. We saw why yesterday.

Regarding whether Fields should start or not, how about should Eric Stokes be starting or not. Kevin King has just put together the worst back-to-back games by a cornerback in team history. He should be sat down immediately.

Fail upwards baby.

Ummmmm....

After the way last season ended, why did the Packers bring back Kevin King?

Because he was hardly terrible.

I was wrong and would make a terrible NFL GM.

I don't think there is one way to develop a quarterback.  Both Favre and Rodgers didn't play immediately and it worked.  Aikman and Manning didn't...and that worked too!

Letting Fields sit is a fine decision if Nagy feels he doesn't know the offense well enough.  If Fields is deemed ready by next week, next month or next year, that's fine too.

They shouldn't be starting Dalton because they signed him to a one-year, $10 million contract.  And if that's the reason why they are doing that, they are even more poorly run than I thought.

LOL.

That's OK, I would totally have taken Ryan Leaf over Peyton Manning.

I really appreciate the NFC North protesting the 17 game schedule by refusing to compete in week 1

Better than the $19m for Mike Glennon.

An unusual remark by any Scooper. You should be commended for it.

Whoa, whoa.  This is Scoop.  Dig in on your original take

Why would we expect the Bears FO to understand how to differentiate between good football sense and sunk cost fallacy?

Hi, my name is jesmu. May I introduce you to the McCaskeys, Phillips, and Paces?

They're slowly breaking it to Virginia that Fields isn't what she thinks a quarterback is.

There is absolutely 1 aspect of Fields that they're hoping Virginia never knows about

"When Butkus was a rookie, Lombardi gave the team a very unflattering scouting report on the Chicago linebacker, predicting his linemen would have an easy time with this bumpkin.

"Look at Butkus," Lombardi said. "He's fat, out of shape, weighs about 260. His shirttail's out; he's sloppy. He stands 5 1/2 yards deep as a middle linebacker."

Well, Hornung said, "Butkus made 32 unassisted tackles, he caused three fumbles. We were lucky to win by about four points."

Later, Lombardi admitted, "Maybe he is something special."

"That's the only time I ever heard The Coach confess something," Hornung said."

That OT was drunker than drunk, while higher than high.

[CreightonWarrior]

That was a fun 4th Q/OT

Aside from being old and probably "traditional" is Ginny a confirmed racist?

There it is!  When he threw it, I told my Grandma "wow, nobody he can blame for that one, no route excuses."  But he found a way.  I'm just shocked he was even able to continue, what a gritty soldier.  True warrior.

Plus no steroids or murders. > Lewis.

No one is talking about it, or has been talking about it, but the NFL lost again in court today in St. Louis.

A settlement offer should be coming, but I wonder if the plaintiff (St. Louis County) wants this to go to trial. With consecutive rulings going against the NFL, St. Louis has lots of leverage now. This will be interesting to see how it plays out, as this trial would start just as the NFL playoffs are going in January.

The Raiders became the first team to require proof of vaccination to attend games. I forgot to notice if that affected the crowd size at all. Did anybody notice?
