2021-2022 NFL Season

[Herman Cain]

Found some deep discount codes in our junk mail for Jags tickets. Thinking about taking the family to the game tomorrow night to see Tebow and Trevor.

From Charlotte Observer:

As of Monday morning, the Panthers' vaccination rate was 96% of players having received at least the first COVID-19 shot and 91.5% fully vaccinated, per a league source with knowledge of the situation. The 96% is eighth-best in the league. Overall, 91.7% of players on NFL rosters have at least one shot, and 80.8% are fully vaccinated.

That means that maybe 3 players are refusing the vaccine.

Cut their a$$es today!

Clay is coming back?

Clay is one of my favorite all time Packers, but there's a good reason he's still sitting without a team since 2019. But try and talk any logic with our ego maniacal, jackass QB.

Yes, we should all demand a nice guy like Trubisky at QB.

Or maybe Rodgers should realize that they have no need for over the hill players that he played with a decade ago.

I am completely sick of Rodgers act.  And he hasn't won near enough to get a pass for what a total a$$ he's behaving like.  Thai one Super Bowl appearance and win is 10 plus years old now.  Put up or shut the eff up finally and let's win something other than the NFC North.

Bingo.

[Herman Cain]

Maybe Clays house is not selling and he needs the money.

That is a completely different point which has nothing to do with what I said.  One that I do agree with, however.

Just got back from dinner. How is Love looking? Numbers are solid. Saw a nice throw over the middle while they were backed up. Also saw the TD was a screen pass.

He's looked okay.  It does appear that Houston is playing more vets that look hungry to make a NFL roster rather than wash out of the league.

[Jockey]

I think Josh and Yosh played their way off the roster tonite.

Bubble guys can't be total disasters.

Went to the Jags game.  Think it is going to be a long season for Urban Meyer

I read that Meyer was being cagey and wouldn't announce Trevor Lawrence as the starter for the game.  Seemed absurd and perfectly on brand for him.

Anything is possible, but I think Urban Meyer will have a very difficult time adjusting to and accepting life as an NFL Coach.

For a pre-season game?  LOL.

How good did Fields look? 

[GB Warrior]

How good did Fields look?

He looked composed which is what you ask for. His touchdown was obviously on a majorly blown coverage, but it was across the field and he saw the play. Thought he has a ball that could have been picked where he tried to go back shoulder, but the WR made a great adjustment.

All in all, Bears fans should be encouraged enough to be enraged when Dalton starts the first 6 weeks

Ty for the synopsis.  The fact that Nagy and Pace are back may be one of the world's greatest mysteries.  I'm guessing the Bears win 5 games tops.

Was at Soldier Field Saturday. He looked good against the second and third string. Of course, the line protecting him was second string and he was not playing with David Montgomery or the "A" List wide receivers. Still, he was what I expected. Polished but untested.

Before Bear fans get too excited, the same things were said about Rex Grossman, Kyle Orton, Jay Cutler and Mitch Trubisky. He's about where Trubisky was on his first game, but it is seriously questionable whether he is polished enough to be an NFL quarterback in 2022.

Very long.

First time I ever saw an NFL team advertise heavily discounted season tickets on their TV broadcast.

Interviewed Shad Kahn during the game. Seems like a nice but very delusional guy.

Tebow Gowne

Tebow Gowne

It was a sham and disgrace from the start - letting this egomaniac take a roster spot. He had as much of a chance getting back to the NFL as he did being part of the Mets lineup.

I dont disagree with a lot of this, but I don't know how you can call him polished and then say he's where Trubisky was in his first game.  I'm not saying Fields is the next Mahomes or that he won't flame out, but he's unquestionably further along than where Trubisky was...in vision, in accuracy, in composure.

Fields is debatable if he's ready to go as a rookie, which is fair of most rookies.  Trubisky had no business playing his rookie year, period no debate, but the Bears were idiots and rushed him along.
