2021-2022 NFL Season

Why would they want Cam? They’re going to suck, they want to suck, and bringing in Cam wouldn’t accomplish anything for them.

Would heading to Miami to play behind Tua make sense? I doubt there’s anywhere he gets a starting job at this point.

I think Jerry will grab him first.

Packers trading for a punter.

I won’t miss Scott and his tackling technique.

Good trade by Rodgers.  He must not have liked Scott

Due to a concert at AT&T the week of the NFL opening wry, Pack/Saints moved to Jacksonville. Not a great break for either side.

I disagree, Dish. Great advantage for GB not having to play in Superdome.

But the heat…

[Herman Cain]

Just a guess, I think any unused Saint tickets end up in Packer hands.

[DegenerateDish]

But the heat…

Yeah, that’s where I was going.

Any dome > Jacksonville 3:25 kick in September

[MU82]

Jacksonville blows.

[Jockey]

I think getting the Saint out of the Superdome and moving to a grass field rather than turf more than offsets the heat. But I guess that is TBD.

Jacksonville blows.

I believe that's the official motto of the Duval County Convention and Visitors Bureau.

[MU82]

Of the 69 Panthers on either the active roster or practice squad, 67 have been fully vaccinated -- a 97% rate. I'm pleased to see that, and I hope the other 2 will follow the lead of their teammates and coaches.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

I know that as of last week, the Packers only had about five players who weren't vaccinated.  No idea how the cut downs this week impacted that number.

[MU82]

The Panthers' new kicker (at least for now), Ryan Santoso, is married to former Marquette volleyball player Ellen Hays.

Rodgers taking MVS under wing. MVS Reading lots of books at Rodgers direction .

Are we sure he isn't just pretending to read those books?

[Herman Cain]

Are we sure he isn't just pretending to read those books?

He said he used highlighters . So he can at least fake it in discussions with Rodgers . Receivers will do anything to get a target …

I have my doubts.  Rodgers is more of pseduo-intellectual that probably reads over his comprehension level

Based on some interviews, I have to imagine Rodgers has a pretty eclectic reading list. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a decent amount of junk science in there.

Random NFL thoughts from me, most of which are intertwined with gambling.

-My favorite bet is Pats +320 to be an AFC Wild Card team.

-I love WFT to win the NFC East at +260. I really think the gap between Dallas and WFT is not much, and I love WFT's defense. Fitzmagic could derail them, but they made the playoffs last year with a trio of mediocre QB's.

-Bears are going to be so "meh". I still can't get past them signing Dalton to spite Fuller off the roster. I'm excited to see what Fields can eventually do, I'll be a holdout juror for a while to see if he's going to be good or not. That offensive line is going to be a huge problem, and their schedule is no bueno.

-I'm interested to watch Green Bay run it back, I think they'll be really good, I can't see how they don't run away with the division.

-I think Baltimore misses the playoffs (+250 to miss). There's usually one team every year coming out of the preseason that seems destined to be cursed that year, and I think it's Baltimore this year.

-I think Atlanta has an outside chance to make the playoffs, and barring injury, I think Calvin Ridley has a monster season.

-Covid is going to wreck havoc on some team on a game day, I think who your back up QB is will matter more this season than most. I don't think the league will be as accommodating with games on Tues/Wed/etc. That was a lot easier to pull off with no fans attending, but this year if you get multiple positive pops in your OL the day of the game, you're either going to forfeit or have a big roster problem on your hands.

Good stuff, Dish.

One thing that only I may find interesting is how everyone is completely disregarding the Super Bowl loser's hangover when it comes to the Chiefs. And perhaps Mahomes is good enough that it ought to be disregarded.
Chiefs are solid favorites to win the Super Bowl, and huge favorites to win the AFC, but only three of the past 27 Super Bowl losers have made it back the following season. History says someone else is winning the AFC this season. But again, maybe Mahomes > history.
