2022-2023 NFL Season

I figured it was since money from shares can't be used for player's contracts.

Money from buying shares should be lit on fire.  Same results, removing money from a suckered writ large.

How are the Bills players & staff supposed to get to the airport tomorrow? How did they not leave yesterday?

Only 13 inches recorded at Buffalo airport so far. 70% of flights cancelled, so there's a chance.

66 inches is the most recent report in Orchard Park.

'Only 13 inches'


Said no one ever.

Bills Mafia showed up to dig players cars out of driveways

77 inches of snow in Buffalo.

Feel like a piker having only received two feet.

Ravens won the toss ... and decided to take the ball.

I don't follow them, so I don't know if this is what Harbaugh usually does to try to get Jackson going. I do know that the Ravens have gotten off to double-digit leads in every game, so maybe that's how Harbaugh plays it.

This time, they got about to midfield but then were stopped by the Panthers and had to punt.

In the olden days, teams always took the ball if they won the toss, but it now seems they always defer.

Back in the day, they didn't have the option to defer.  The rule only changed in 2008.  So you would always elect to take the ball because the team that lost the toss selects to start the second half.

True. I forgot about that.

Pretty rare for a team to take the ball these days.

Bears need to do a better job protecting Fields

[MuggsyB]

Fiekds is going to get killed running the ball.  Maybe thr Bears should now tank for a higher pick?

[Dish]

Fields wasn't good today, and that play calling that last drive made zero sense.

Fantastic outcome though.

[withoutbias]

The Bears don't need to change a thing. This is perfect. Fields is showing signs of being good and then throwing games away while they go for a higher draft pick and a 4th place schedule. Definitely more important than having your dude find ways to win close games.

"tank now for a higher pick"?????? Have you seen the roster they put together this season? This tank job started last February.

Have to give the Bears 'A+' on the execution of the season plan.

Maybe so but then they better do a better job protecting him from getting injured.  Calling two run plays there?  Borderline criminal

He was being sarcastic.

But it was absurd to having him running when he was nowhere close to healthy and nursing his hamstring and shoulder

[WhiteTrash]

Bears last best chance for win #4 is at Detroit, a game that the Lions will be the favorite.

I guess Minny at Chicago might be an opportunity with the Vikings sitting the starters. It would be a shame if Fields had a "hamstring pull" <wink, wink> for that game.

Ah, my bad on the first part

[Dish]

The Zach Wilson experience in New York is going embarrassingly bad. You can't have that attitude, especially in NYC.

Cowboys are annihilating the Vikings.  An absolute thrashing

[Dish]

Vikings 8-2, -2 point differential. Absolute frauds, exposed today.

They had the 8th best point differential going into today. They had a horrible game today that skews their point differential. They aren't 37 points worse than the Cowboys. They aren't 8-1 good. But they're a good team in a bad NFC.

[MU82]

During the NCAA hoops season, a couple Scoopers have written about the "luck factor."

The Vikings seemed to have something similar going this season. Lots of close wins, including a couple (like the Bills game) in which they were beneficiaries of amazing fortune.

Not saying they're bad. You don't get to 8-1 if you suck at football. But ...

Being lucky and 8-2 is great.  Betting on them to make a deep run?  Not so much.

Coming into today, they were #1 in the league in penalty differential, 17th in DVOA, a negative offense success rate relative to their defense success rate, recovery on an absurd 67% of fumbles, and out gained by their opponents on a per play basis.

That was all BEFORE today's blasting.

Frauds.
