Yeah, I guess the Minnesota one wasn't "going to be on the training video" like the NFL said after the game.
I think the one against the Bears was a clear penalty, the Minnesota one was a clear non-penalty and the Washington one was 50-50 by these new rules (although I doubt the same play gets called this week). So, just like the "Fail Mary" getting rid of the replacement refs - Green Bay had to give up another win for the NFL to get its shit together on a failed policy. |

Shouldn’t the Niners call the Browns and ask about Tyrod? I can see how turning the team over to CJ does anything but insure a 6-10 finish. Not saying Tyrod is great but I think he’s basically competent.

As a Rams fan, Jared Goff may not be a bust.

Guy gets his helmet knocked off by force... shouldn't that merit at least 1 play on the sideline for inspection? Or burning an injury time out?

How was that not a penalty? They even threw the flag so it wasn't missed.

I know Griffen is out with a DNP-Mental Breakdown, but aren’t these supposed to be 2 of the premiere defensive squads in the league?

Funny that Suh and Donald can sack the QB without penalty but Clay Matthews can’t figure it out.

Theilan(sp) I think did get screwed out of a TD early by a horrible call. Once again a quick whistle ruins the ability to review something.

If you're the Niners though, do you really want to win now? If you were a borderline playoff team with Garoppolo, you have to be a decidedly mediocre to poor team without him. Why try to wring anything more out of the current roster other than some healthy development time from everyone you have, and cash in with a much better draft pick than you expected next year? |

That was an exciting end to the Lions/Cowboys game. Lions get a TD to take the lead with just over 2 min left. Cowboys march down and get a FG as time expires.

Yep and he had a TD called back after nice pass at the end zone that the receiver stepped out of bounds on the review.

Have any of them actually had the threat of 2 QB's yet? All I've seen is Joe Flacco standing aimlessly on one side while they run an obvious run play with Jackson at QB. It seems like you could do so much more than just use him as Ronnie Brown running the wildcat.
As a Notre Dame fan who watched him turn from 3* RB to great WR... Yeah, pretty much. I think he's actually really smart (like 700+'s on each SAT section) but he was always that cocky after winning jump balls, even before he was nationally known. I did not get to watch the Cleveland game, but when he had 2 runs for 64 yards & a touchdown we were wondering if he got hurt or they were just dumb... Lo & behold, they gave him a 3rd carry & he ran for another 41 yard touchdown, then he never saw the ball again while Carlos Hyde averaged 3.5 yards per carry. Shurg, Hue Jackson also said he had to watch the tape to decide a QB starter after last week's Jets game, so maybe he just needs to watch the tape of Chubb busting off 40+ yards TD's on 2/3 of his carries to give him more than 10% of the carries |

Chubb looked relatively lost off-the-ball the first couple games, muffed a punt return, and is apparently a liability in terms of pass protection, fwiw.

I think it's the kind of thing where you insert a new trick every couple of weeks. Only a matter of time before Jackson throws a bomb with the D looking run, or there's a lateral to Flacco etc.

Ehhhh, that was pretty much the book on him coming into the draft. It's not like HJ made him worse somehow. (Those are the some of same issues that led to Michel and others being able to take carries from him in college)

It's always so ridiculous to me when grown-ups athletes complain about running up the score. Are the Jets' players feelings really so hurt because of that extra point they lost by? I can't even fathom that. Can't they talk to their mommies or something and feel better with some ice cream?

There are also whispers the Patriots think he can be a good pass catching back, but I saw little evidence of that at Georgia or in his incredibly small 5 target sample size. I'm glad he had a really good running game - Boston talk radoi idiots were trying to call him a bust after 2 games when it seemed pretty obvious the O line was giving him nothing to work with. |

Chubb got most of the hype (and fan love) in college but I think Michel was considered by those in the know as the better pro prospect for quite a while, everything I saw made me feel like that was completely fair. It's not a knock on Chubb (who I followed throughout his HS career as he went up & down the field against my alma mater & others as a region opponent). His greatest assets, however, were his sheer strength & endurance and his unquestioned work ethic. By the time you get to the highest level, a lot of guys have those things (or at least you'd hope they do).

I've noticed this in general due to DirecTV (I think). I get score updates for teams I follow, and I got a notification of a KC FG immediately after a 3rd down play as I watched. Like, the kicking team wasn't even on the field yet, and the FG was already good. I'm used to getting a notification as the kick happens - usually a few second delay anyway - but it's getting worse.

So I count 10 quarterbacks from the past three drafts (not counting CJ Beathard) that are now starting quarterbacks, and several look like potential stars. Listed in brackets is the age that there are/will be in 2018. If you were starting a franchise today, which order would you rank these guys in. Feel free to dip into Winston (24) and Mariota (25) if you really like. Here's the list from the 2016-2018 drafts...
Jared Goff (24) Carson Wentz (26) Dak Prescott (25) Mitch Trubisky (24) Patrick Mahomes (23) Deshaun Watson (23) Baker Mayfield (23) Sam Darnold (21) Josh Allen (22) Josh Rosen (21) |

1. Jared Goff - He is in complete control of his team and offense. He is leading the ship of perhaps the best team in the NFL
2. Patrick Mahomes - Super talented and putting up video game numbers right now. I am concerned that he may turn the ball over quite a bit with his loose aggressive style. 3. Carson Wentz - Complete package on a great team with great coaching. Nick Foles won a super bowl with that team so... Perhaps he was a bit overrated last year when people were talking MVP. 4. Deshaun Watson - A couple very good WRs to work with. At the very least he will put up great numbers yearly. 5. Baker Mayfield - More impressed with him early in his career than I would have thought. He has handled everything great and appears to be making great progress. 6. Sam Darnold - Needs to work on his consistency. Typical with rookies. 7. Mitch Trubisky - Seems like he is playing with confidence this year 8. Dak Prescott - Your typical average NFL QB, he wont really hurt you but he cant win playoff games for you either. Cowboys will need an upgrade 9. Josh Rosen - TBH I havent seen him play in the NFL yet 10.Josh Allen - I still dont know why he was a 1st round pick. We know how NFL teams do drafting players on "tools" without production to back it up. Last edited by jbergey22 : 10-02-2018 at 12:02 PM. |
