2021-2022 NFL Season

[DegenerateDish]

I thought going into the week Lions +8 was one of the better plays out there.

Fields looks....?

Someone who has zero time to make a decision, much less throw.  He's getting bumrushed on every drop back.

Sending Jason Peters out there is coaching malpractice.  I don't care what injuries or depth issues you have, any young mildly experienced guy is better than a literal 40 year old who can't move and is coming off back to back injury riddled seasons

My head explode comment was in regards to Nagy’s decision to kick on 4th down instead of going for the TD.

I’ve said plenty on Nagy being awful on here since year 1.

Just bring in Daboll, start the 2022 season.

The Lions quit trying to go down field in the second half.  Dump offs to the rb's and short passes to the wr's and te's.   They then made plays in space.   It isn't over yet.   The Ravens will get the ball back with lots of time.

It is the Lions.

I never understand when franchises rush young QBs in to start for bad teams. Give them a year to get used to the speed of the NFL and learn how to be a pro without risking injury or breaking their spirit. Take your lumps for a year. Use the better draft position to collect better pieces to put around your future franchise QB.

The lack of a delay of game penalty the play before the 66 yard kick was interesting.

[CreightonWarrior]

Unbelievable kick by Tucker, vintage Lions loss.

Big fan of Herbert

NFL referees usually seem to give that call the benefit of the doubt.

It was 2.5 seconds after the play clock hit 0. It wasn’t even close.

Time has no meaning when the Lions are involved.   Entire rules have been changed to justify the Lions losing.   Pass interference flags get picked up in playoff gamrs against the Lions.  The same kicker has now made two 60+ yard field goals to beat the Lions.  It is the fate of the Lions.  It is a comedy, not a tragedy.


Vegas should figure out how to do odds on the Lions finding ways to lose no one has seen before.

Nagy should be fired for a game plan that did zero to help Fields. I think he has shown everyone who he is.

Some believe "taking your lumps" includes playing for a bad team, and many will argue that's what ultimately helped shape the careers of guys like Manning, Elway, Bradshaw, Newton, Griese, etc, etc, etc. The theory is that if you survive that, and you have talent, it will make you better in the long run.

A relative few believe that you sit the kid for a year and let him learn mostly from the bench "without risking injury or breaking their spirit." Many think that's hard to justify doing today because you have to make decisions on them so early in their careers.

The Bears seemed ready to sit Fields for much of this season, but they felt the injury to Dalton forced their hand.

The ideal situation is if you have a GOOD team but draft a QB anyway, and then you have the luxury of not playing him -- KC with Mahomes, Packers with Rodgers, Dolphins with Marino, etc.

Stunning.

This is why Pace and Nagy should have never been brought back.  They had their chance with Trubisky and failed.  Now you have drafted another "quarterback of the future," and kept people around who have shown no ability to develop a quarterback.  Which means you will likely have another coaching staff coming in setting Fields' development back further.

Andy Reid taken by ambulance to hospital after Chiefs game.

“Felt ill,” was all that was in the report so far.

Thats giving the Bears WAYYYY too much credit.  I dont think they had a clue of a cohesive long term plan for Fields.  They were putting Fields in randomly for gimmick plays and alternate looks from the start.  As soon as the Bears fell to 2-4 or 2-5, panic throwing Fields in there cause Dalton wasn't getting it done seemed likely.

I remember where I was when Tom Dempsey kicked the 63 yarder back in the day

[Herman Cain]

Bucs need to sign some defensive backfield help soon

This!!

There is bad and then there is BEAR BAD!

Bear Bad is brining in an RPO quarterback and sitting him in the pocket, and getting him killed.

Bear Bad is forgetting what a screen pass is as the linemen rush in.

Bear Bad is no chip blocking.

Bear Bad is paying a washed up tight end $10 million and letting Kyle Fuller go.

Bear Bad is trying to build a new stadium in a remote suburb while having a contender for the first choice in the draft because your coach is an idiot.

Fair. You’re a lot closer to the situation than I am.

Meanwhile….

Thankfully, the “Bucs can go unbeaten” talk is officially done.

Not sure how much longer I’ll be able to say this, so I’ll scream it now:

FIRST-PLACE PANTHERS!

Better than the Lions.

Bears Lions will be an interesting game

[tower912]

Detroit actually did some positive things today.   No moral victories.   But I have gone from thinking they would go 0-16 to thinking they will eke out a couple of wins.
