Yeah I have no idea what Matt Ryan couldn't do as a quarterback.

Run?

While it is crazy how "anti running back" things have become

The Barkley/Henry/Jacobs thing is more nuanced. They are on WAY better teams. With actual QBS. Great o lines. Surrounded by play makers

Even if those guys still happened to be as individually good with those other teams. Those other teams would still suck.

I get and understand the Derrick Henry move.  He's 30 and he's had arguably the most insane workload of any RB in the last 15-20 years if you look at usage from HS to pro. It's ridiculous and even more so with his style of running.

Jacobs and especially Saquon are just bad organizations doing dumb things.  I don't think the "don't draft a RB high and don't pay too much" strategy is bad per se, but this hasn't been a good year for it evidence wise

Tower was comparing Goff to Mahomes, Allen and Lamar. What can they do as QBs that Matt Ryan couldn't? Scramble, extend plays and run.

Excellent article in The Athletic today about the dysfunction and anger in the Bears locker room before the firing.

Also, Ian Rappaport reporting that Kevin Warren will lead the search for a new HC. Go Bears.

The Seahawks hand the Jets 14 free points in less than 2 minutes.

Has Kevin Warren ever made a football decision in his career?

Woof Lawrence got smoked.

Jags should not have had him playing in this game. Cheap shot by Texans.

Looked clean to me

[forgetful]

Jags should not have had him playing in this game. Cheap shot by Texans.

It was a penalty, and he was rightfully ejected. But it wasn't a cheap shot. I don't think anything was intentional, the defender was starting to go low as Lawrence started to slide. Just an unfortunate aspect of football, in my opinion.

Minor miracle that the Seahawks are only down 5 at the half.

Thank you, Aaron Rodgers, for throwing a pick that 310-pound defensive lineman Leonard Williams returned 92 yards for a TD.

Great effort by 8 to get back in the play by standing in the pocket and watching the return

[DegenerateDish]

Good to see Jimmy Sexton using the Bears opening to get his college head coach clients new paper.

[PGsHeroes32]

Id love to see KOC offense with an actual QB

Darnold stinks. And the fact this offense has people even remotely thinking otherwise speaks volumes to how good the structure is

[DegenerateDish]

Kirk Cousins has thrown multiple egregious interceptions this afternoon.

Kirk Cousins has thrown multiple egregious interceptions this afternoon.

That last one was...uh...particularly misguided.

[PGsHeroes32]

Damn just saw the hit on lawrence

That guy deserves a blown out knee. Scumbag move

[tower912]

Dirty play.  Appropriate punishment.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Agree with Greg Olson that the Cardinals should have gone for the TD there on 4th down. It wasn't mentioned, but even if it failed, they would have a LONG field to get the tying FG.

You complain a lot.  What more do you want from Darnold?  10-2.  Second best record in the league.

Correct by Olsen.  NFC West, who wants to lose it least?

Darnold is fine. Yes, he's firmly playing within structure but he still has a live arm.

He's played well enough that I'm not sure I'd want to risk letting him walk for an unknown in McCarthy. Could McCarthy run the training wheel offense too? Sure, but if you're the Vikings brass, are you betting your job on it?

[tower912]

Geno Smith and Leonard Williams share a laugh.

He's one of the chief complainers in the game threads too. It's comical.

[Uncle Rico]

Welp, Seahawks win despite their best efforts not to.  The Rodgers difference
