nôbôdy CARÊS àbôut FÖÖTßALL: 2020 RÊGULAR séàsôn THRÊAD

I'm still just sitting here trying to understand what the hell the Packers were thinking

made no fn sense

Ok here’s what I think his reasoning was

You score the TD, you still have to make 2 point conversion, stop Brady on the other side, then win in OT, each of which are 50/50 propositions

By kicking the FG you have to get a 3-and-out then go all out for the TD, and you win without having to worry about a 2pt conversion or overtime. Their defense had been stopping the run all day & Brady probably ain’t taking many risks on offense in that situation. And the Packers can definitely go 80 yards in 90 seconds even without a TO.

Still think it was the wrong decision but it’s not like an all time bad decision the way some people on Twitter are claiming

If Valdez Scantling holds onto that earlier 2 pointer I think he goes for it

Why the fuck would the Texans even think about trading Deshaun Watson, a top-ten QB with four years left on his deal?? They’d have to get like eight first-round picks to make it worth it. I don’t care how unhappy he is, he’s not sitting out the next four seasons, come the fuck on.

Back in 2004, Ricky Williams, the American football player, left the Miami Dolphins after a third strike for smoking weed and disappeared. He’d had a notable career besides, but this was the capper: He said goodbye to his coach from Hawaii and vanished off the face of the Earth.

wow

is that the guy who did the 30 for 30 about him?

that's pretty fucking amazing.

also I will always <3 Ricky, even if he was like an on-again/off-again lover. he was his own man, he did whatever he felt like in the moment, and sometimes that changed ten minutes later

in the long run for him, it's good that he left the league early imo

yeah smokin weed 24/7 much better for your health

he had 10k yards! I remember him getting over 1,000 for us at age 34 that one late-career season.

Wow!

always had a lot of love and empathy for this guy <3

That 2002 season of his is still one of Dolfan legend. 1854 yards

if you haven't seen run ricky run, i think this is worth three bucks

Stafford traded to the Rams

Sucks for Goff, absolutely the last place you want to end up

when this is done, the Rams will have had one first round pick in the last 8 seasons.

and that pick was Jared Goff

rams gave up A LOT

for a 32 year old QB, which isn't exactly ancient or even approximating it for the QB position buuuuut....you're still on the back half of your career.

Poor Goff. maybe he'll retire.

I mean fuck it, it's the NFL, it's not irrational for them to think they are close, you don't get a lot of shots to get a QB of that caliber

it's just that they were literally in the Super Bowl two years ago!

Goff hasn't been *quite* the same QB since, but he's still solid, and even Stafford had some lean years (like 2012). is this going to be the thing that propels them? idk...this year, Goff breaking his thumb in Week 16 hurt the QB stability which definitely affected them in the playoffs, and they still got to the division round!

idk if giving up that much for him is wise.

i could see doing that for like...Deshaun Watson, sure

lmao

Following news of the trade, the Rams' Super Bowl odds for the 2021 season moved from +1800 to +1500 at Caesars Sportsbook by William Hill.

Goff is not even comparable to Stafford

Stafford is going to make it really hard for Hall of Fame voters because he doesn't feel like a hall of fame guy but he poised to pass up a lot of hall of fame guys on the all time passing stats

it's a lot but at the same time you look at how short windows are, like Philly going from the Super Bowl to a total shitshow so I get it

hope it works out, always wanted to see Stafford on a decent team, but still yikes for the Rams hitching their future to a 32-year old who's gotten hit 5,000 times

the Staff also gets to pad his stats when his team is losing in garbage time a lot. granted, he also took the Lions to the playoffs for the first times in years, so I'm not knocking him, but Goff had a Top 3 QB season in 2018.

i kinda feel like this article here tbh: https://www.ocregister.com/2021/01/30/jared-goff-and-the-rams-did-he-change-or-did-they/

now, Goff in Detroit, I think that's gonna suck, but I figure they're not committing to him for the long haul

stafford will be good for the rams for a couple seasons, which is what they’re getting him for.

also think stafford is 10-12 mil cheaper per year than goff so they should be able to grab an extra free agent or two

is this the first time in his career stafford has a good coach

he's poised to leapfrog about 5 or 6 retired qbs on the all time yards list kinda interesting to see who's on there some unexpected names

http://www.espn.com/nfl/history/leaders/_/stat/passyards

a lot of qbs had one great season

duante culpepper put up one amazing year, doing it consistently over a long period of time is what makes a good qb

stafford has never had a team close to this rams team around him

he’s a gamer, a great dude, and he’s been durable except for 2019

long term, this trade is scary for the rams but windows close quick

that one amazing Daunte year is why my Dolphins signed him in free agency. mooooootherfucker. I set that jersey on fire.

During virtual offseason workouts, Gronk had to run sprints, record them and send them to the Bucs. So, to get out of it, he'd record himself running sprints in different shirts on the same day. Then, he'd send in the videos on different days.

damnit Gronk stop making me like you

lol that’s great

Andy Reid's kid was driving drunk and put two young children in the hospital, one 5 year old in critical condition

So who got money on the Patriots tonight?

yea I bet Tampa Bay, apparently the computer sims think they should be a decent favorite, don't really get why but whatever I'll go with it

late to this thread but was the USD$2.3M bettor already talked about?

https://www.thesportsgeek.com/news/2-3m-wager-on-bucs-placed-as-betting-action-heats-up-for-super-bowl-lv/

it looks like it's probably better to put some money on the bucs, so you should be good

voting for a meteor crashing into the stadium

Don’t spend all your money

chieves i guess
