nôbôdy CARÊS àbôut FÖÖTßALL: 2020 RÊGULAR séàsôn THRÊAD

but where do I watch this pats game?

Kinda excited about my Fins off-season moves

I was interested in the pre-game stuff today, but promptly switched off the crappy local games and put on NBA.

Some pretty surreal sights to digest.

gilmore!!

Fins hanging in there but jfc Fitz is killing us with the picks

i know miami is always a tough game but this is going to be miserable if the pats offense is as frustrating as last year even w/cam in there. they.. didn't actually get any more receivers did they??

Gilmore PIing like a mofo

There's the Fitzpatrick i know.

Patriots get away with major non-PI call on that pick.

Honestly they didn't look impressive today. It was Miami

Tampa Bay do not appear to have gotten a whole lot better

Nice of Detroit to treat their fans to a soul crushing “only the fuckin Lions” loss on Week 1

I mean blowing a big lead to Mitch Tittiess in the 4th is pretty standard but dropping the game winning score was a nice touch

Mike McCarthy trying to run a 2-minute drill without Aaron Rodgers lmao

saquon barkley: 15 carries for 6 yards with a long of 7

that INT following an 8.5 minute drive and 88 yards was about as devastating as they come

especially if you bet the under

I enjoyed watching a bit of Brady realizing the grass is not always greener.

It would be hilarious if the Pats end up winning it all with Cam running the ball 15-20 times a game.

Got to love Lions grasping defeat out of the jaws of victory. Just as a reminder, Matt Patricia is now 9-32-1 as Lions head coach and Jim Caldwell was fired after going 9-7 in his last season (36-28 overall).

Good game!!

Fucking power outage at Hard Rock Stadium (CBS) means i lost the Fins game 15 mins ago and have to suffer through Steelers.

Missed a TD.

The injuries today are BRUTAL

scene report: the Vikings are bad

Miami is winning!!

Nevermind

WHat the fuck were the Falcons thinking on that onside kick attempt? They knew they could touch it right?

They're afraid to have leads ever since SB

onside kick without a tee, even!

that was amazing; too bad it benefited the cowboys. fire your special-teams coach, falcons

btw why were so many teams wearing white at home

Bmore looks really good.

Both NY teams 0-2 and not good at all.

Rofflesburger made a couple nice tosses I saw in the first game. He does look like he has lost some weight.

xxp yea I don't think I've ever seen an onside kick like that. thing just spun forever

ilx: “nobody cares about football!”

this Vikings season is going to get ugly

Bills vs. Bears - most delusional 2-0 club?

I have not seen either one play yet.

Bills, other than weirdly making Miami look good at moving the football, look like a pretty legit club offensively and could be for real.

i don't know about a bear

28-3 about to get a sequel

Falcon's keeping their club tradition of grasping defeat out of the jaws of victory. You could see it coming after the first touchdown and the second three and out. There was all sorts of guys throwing up deer in the headlights eyes on that club. What the hell you thinking trying to go deep that many times and stop the clock? This is why you get a defensive coach to run the club, offensive coaches are f-ing morans at times in their football sense.

It is also another chapter in Bears winning ugly football tradition too. Nick Foles looked like crap until the end of the game, really worse than Mitch.

and not stop the clock...

Really stupid tie between Bengals and Eagles. Neither team wanted to win

The Falcons thing is just so pathetic. It’s like they’re cursed. I remember after the Super Bowl the prevailing take was “oh well, this is probably Bradys last rodeo, and the Falcons will be good for a while..”

Speaking of Brady’s Bucs looking pretty good rn

very weird first half for cowboys-seahawks

Looking like it’s gonna be a weird second half too lmao

safeties should be worth more points. i’m thinking four

Safeties should immediately end tge game

*the

It's not a curse, it's dumb as a damn brick football. You got a 10 point lead with 5 minutes to go, RUN THE DAMN BALL. 3x 3 and outs and Ryan went 0-6 and if you were watching, they twice went for big homerun balls and a couple more on like 14-15 yard outs.

Bears did not even have to use ANY timeouts in this situation.

Falcons also had 3 dumb hit 15 yard penalties on defense/special teams, so while I scorch their offensive ineptitude, it really was a team effort. I guess you might say the one was a bit the guy cutting down, but Falcon DB was leading with his helmet.

Hey, i'm a Bears fans and I saw this happening and called it to my girlfriend. They definitely choked, lots of crazy 'it's happening again' on multiple players.

hatcats leading the nfc east at 1-2

unfortunate that dallas isn't 0-3

ny teams are 0-6 with a -98 point differential

think we might see some coaches fired here shortly

NFL might be better without the fans, it cuts down on the other chitchat and focuses on the field.

First couple of weeks I grazed by for a few minutes. I watched 3/4 of the Bears/Falcons game this week and Dallas/Seattle was on where I went tonight.

anyway, "count the rings" culture is a disease, it's silly to talk about the "legacy" of a 25-year-old guy who's redefined what's possible from the qb position, and a guy who if he had won yesterday would've been the first qb to ever win 2 super bowls by 25.

it's very unlikely that mahomes will win 7 super bowls, but he totally could. he's lost something like 5 games total as a starter.

It's a simple question but a difficult answer. Is @TomBrady the greatest athlete of all time?

What's so difficult about "no way, no how, gtfo"?

The reason this shit is so over-hyped is because the NFL is a multi-billion dollar business with deep connections to dozens of Fortune 500 companies, making it the most profitable sports league in human history. Money and hype walk hand in hand.

BTW they refer to Brady as the "losing quarterback" in that super bowl and he had the worst game of his season
I'm well aware. My point is he still scored points, unlike Mahomes last night. In both losing efforts against the Giants in the SB, Brady led his team to late leads before the defense let him down. Mahomes didn't do shit last night.
Here's his line on 20+ yard throws: 0-6 with an interception.
Lots of QBs are pressured. The great ones find ways to deal with it. But hey, those two incomplete passes on scrambling plays were pretty cool.

the game is over. it wasn't even a very interesting game. other than who had more points at the end, the rest is trivia. nôbôdy CARÊS àbôut FÖÖTßALL.

Here's his line on 20+ yard throws: 0-6 with an interception.

and 2 bounced off a receiver's face mask

Brady definitely had to scramble a bunch vs. the Giants but what Mahomes was facing last night was in a totally different league. I don't think a single QB in NFL history could've put up good numbers against a rush like that.

not saying you're wrong necessarily just that I, personally, did not see a whole lot of plays where Mahomes had anywhere to go with the ball, and that he did in fact "deal with it" by making some insane plays that, alas, his receivers dropped the ball on

Lots of QBs are pressured.

Sure,but literally nobody as often as Mahomes. That's what "record" means.

idk why you keep bringing up that Brady performance. He lost, got sacked five times, and the 17 points they scored were 19 less than their season average of 36/game.

So he managed to help his team score 8 more points than Mahomes. He was solved and had a ineffective game.

He was banged up (as was Mahomes) but he faced a fraction of what Mahomes did and was shut down.

Giants almost lost mostly cos their offense was sputtering too

Why aren't u saying "OH BRADY HELD INTO THE BALL TOO LONG"

Like that game destroyed expectations. Exhibit A

its one thing to pick the giants - but to predict the pats only score 20 points - krazy

ayyye lol

Lol sry dude :)

idk why you keep bringing up that Brady performance.

Because he still contributed on offense even though his O line got stomped on. It shouldn't be a difficult point to grasp. I could have picked any number of big games in which Brady WON despite facing a lot of pressure (SB 49 is just one example), but that wouldn't have been as sporting.
But go ahead and tell me how well Patrick Mahomes actually played last night, despite what my eyes told me. Maybe I missed something. Or are you saying he's not to blame AT ALL for his team's failure to get into the end zone all night?

and 2 bounced off a receiver's face mask

That's terrific. How many points do you get for that?
When it comes to dropped passes, probably no QB in the NFL has been as unlucky as Brady this year.

Why should I continue, you're just repeating the same shit as if it should be immediately obvious to everybody as an incontrovertible fact.

Brady "contributed" exactly one more touchdown pass than Mahomes. He was shut down. They lost. It isn't making a point that supports your argument.

Obviously I'm not saying Mahomes bears NO blame, but you aren't willing to accept the offensive line had any blame and laughed it off as if Mahomes merely forgot how to play QB all of a sudden.

Which tbh is a pretty big insult to what TB did on defense

Xpost point is you feel like every incomplete pass, sack, etc is Mahomes fault.

Stick to Miles Davis, not football

Like sure some were his fault but this is literally you:

"Wow Mahomes sucked"

"Well his o-line was missing two starting tackles, and unable to stop the Tampa Bay pass rush/blitz packages"

"Lol plz it was his fault, he just didn't get the ball out fast enough and kept throwing incomplete passes"

"There were at least three downfield passes dropped"

"LOL so what those don't count, incompletes are only bad when Mahomes makes a bad throw, u can't expect receivers to catch balls that hit them in the hands"

When it comes to dropped passes, probably no QB in the NFL has been as unlucky as Brady this year.

that's not true - Tampa only had one player in the top 40 for drops: Leonard Fournette

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2020/receiving_advanced.htm

you aren't willing to accept the offensive line had any blame

Please point out where I said that. I'll wait.
Mahomes' sucktitude and the weakness of the Chiefs' O line aren't mutually exclusive, you know. He knows he played poorly. "I'm going to look at the film and try to find ways to get better," he said after the game. And he will. He's a great quarterback and competitor who should, barring injuries, win several rings. Just don't tell me there's no way he could have played well last night due to the Chiefs' O line, Tampa's defense, the referee's calls or whatever. That's a loser's attitude.

Starting watching football long before I knew who Miles Davis was, but thanks.

Patrick Mahomes: "I thought I did a good job toward the end of the season of being more efficient,'' he said. "Obviously I didn't do that in the Super Bowl, but I'm going to try to find ways to better myself that way. Just being more efficient, taking what's there, especially when these teams are playing such deep coverages against us.
"It's something I've got to battle with because I've got such an aggressive nature and want to have the big play. But as I watch the film and really study myself, I'll have to get better at that so I can be a better quarterback at the end of the day.''
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30862059/patrick-mahomes-kansas-city-chiefs-super-bowl-lv-loss-motivate-rest-career

He's accepted the obvious fact he didn't play well, so I don't know why taking him to task is such a big deal.

what did you expect him to say? "my team sucks and i'm sick of carrying their sorry asses"?

yeah those are standard lines for the losing QB. real "my greatest weakness is I try too hard" kinda shit. he talks about "taking what's there", but...again...there was nothing there!!

any one of us would have played much better than mahomes

regardless of how terrible he is at football i still consider him "ma homes"

i don't even own an offensive line

Patrick Mahomes: "I thought I did a good job toward the end of the season of being more efficient,'' he said.

this is like saying"SEE? even Axl Rose doesn't like that GNR album, ergo it sucks!"

which one

KC used 5 man protection on 92% of dropbacks (48 of 52). They left those two backup OT's w/o help & it was a big mistake. h/t @NextGenStats

— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) February 8, 2021

they were never gonna have kelce block and there's only so much a pass-protecting rb can do against 4 rampaging d-linemen

yeah sucks not having a TE or RB that can block

if 4 of the 5 Bucs rushing linemen are in the backfield every down, it's more than the tackles who are struggling

Sad to hear about Vincent Jackson. He was a very good player in his Chargers heyday.

man i loved that guy.

colts get wentz for cheap

due to a clerical error, they got PETE Wentz

seems like a good landing spot

damn, Eagles taking a $33.8 million dollar dead cap hit

yeah, colts have maybe the best o-line in the league? rivers was way better there than his last year with the chargers. so if wentz sucks this year he's unplayable.

Wentz went through so much in Philly, I could see a fresh start working wonders for him. and he's going to a good team that just below the cusp of greatness, so this could be a really good move for them.

sincerely bummed that the eagles didn't wind up trading wentz for nick foles

how foleish of them

yeah I think this makes the Colts a lot better for the foreseeable future

ffs

Carson Wentz was the most talented quarterback Philadelphia has ever had.

And Howie Rosenan and Jeffrey Lurie completely blew it.

— Brenden Deeg (@BrendenDeegNFP) February 18, 2021

i...don’t think that’s what happened

he was probably the second most talented quarterback in the 2020 eagles locker room

Randall Cunningham picking up a phone

yeah it's not like they're a franchise known for having untalented QBs...
