2021-2022 NFL Season

[Hards Alumni]

I honestly don't know who I'd vote for between Kupp and Taylor for OPOY. Both dudes have been awesome and clutch. I feel like I'd lean Taylor, but I love both their seasons. Really hard decision for me.

Do the Colts have the record they do without Taylor?  Doubt.

Do the Rams have the record they do without Kupp?  Less doubt.

IMO, between the two, it's Taylor.

I would go for JT, but have no problem with anyone going for Kupp. Both are deserving.

I think it's JT.  I know RBs are supposed to be a dime a dozen nowadays but he's the best in the league and has a Henry-esque impact on his team

[GB Warrior]

Kupp, through 14 games, has basically had the season that Davante had last year (also 14 games, due to injury).

What differentiates Kupp from that? Is it that he overcame Matt Stafford (teal...I think)?

It is interesting that both of the top MVP candidates , Rodgers and Brady, have had abysmal games against the Saints . Yet they have done well against the rest of the teams they have played .

Yeah, one of the few QBs to do well against the Saints this season was -- wait for it -- Sam Effen Darnold!

Interesting ... or crazy?

[MU82]

Given how banged up the Bucs are and that they're on the road, it's hard to believe they are 10.5-point favorites over the Panthers.

But then there's this -- the Panthers are 5-9, and they haven't covered once in any of their 9 losses.

Prayers up for ESPN 1000 Bears beat reporter Jeff Dickerson, who is battling colon cancer (that has spread to his liver too). Jeff lost his wife to cancer (she was in her late 30's) a couple years ago, and Jeff is only 44 himself. He's got a 9 year old son, and I just can't fathom what Jeff and his son are going through.

It's amazing how unfair life can be for some. He will be in my thoughts.

Damn, that's rough. Jeff is good people.

Unfathomable.

This Niners/Titans game has baffled all my football sensibilities.

This Niners/Titans game has baffled all my football sensibilities.

The Titans play calling is mind boggling.

[Dish]

After watching that first quarter, I'm borderline stunned by the outcome of this game.

After watching that first quarter, I'm borderline stunned by the outcome of this game.

I thought Tennessee would win pregame. Had them +3.5. Then watched the first half and didn't think there was any way they'd pull it out. Weird game.

From The Athletic:

After tumultuous offseason, Packers GM Brian Gutekunst has shown why he's one of NFL's best executives

https://theathletic.com/3032169/2021/12/23/after-tumultuous-offseason-packers-gm-brian-gutekunst-has-shown-why-hes-one-of-nfls-best-executives/?source=weeklyemail&campaign=602288

Few people around the NFL took more heat this offseason than Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst. Because his three-time MVP quarterback didn't want to play for the organization anymore.

We'll save the discussion for who was most to blame for temporarily driving Aaron Rodgers away for another time. For now, let's discuss why Rodgers and Gutekunst have arrived at a point where the quarterback, deliberate in every move he makes, heartily embraced the GM before a recent practice.

In short, it's because Gutekunst is damn good at his job.

[CreightonWarrior]

Packers need to do what it takes to keep Rodgers.

Not sure what info MLF got on that challenge.

[MU82]

At least Baker Mayfield makes good commercials.

[CreightonWarrior]

Rodgers: I waste timeouts
LaFleur: hold my beer

[Jockey]

Really pathetic defensive plan tonite.

[The Sultan]

Really pathetic defensive plan tonite.

Been bad since the bye.

[Jockey]

It would be a Cleveland blowout if not for Baker being so bad.

[PointWarrior]

Absolute trash on defense.  3 and out by lafleurs runs don't help either

[CreightonWarrior]

The defense looks primed for another for another playoff blowout.
