Also, what does it say about the state of the NFL that I'm more excited about the Bucs/Falcons game next Thursday than I was about the Giants/Cowboys?
Me and Pepperidge Farms are old enough to remember when tonight's game would have seemed like an epic matchup instead of a "football's on; I guess I'll watch it" game. Edit: I think it might just be the bad influence on this board. There are more Falcons fans here than I've ever met in real, actual life. I feel for you guys.

I feel like Al Michaels's IDGAF style as he ages makes for great television and will be awesome until one game when he says something that causes Amazon to issue a statement the next day that includes the phrases "mutually decided" "regrettable" and "wish Mr. Micahels the best"

Doesn't seem like he gets along with Kirk, though, and that makes it a little unfun to watch. |

You are correct. The Jags did not provide Lawrence with an elite pass catcher before he signed his record breaking contract. Just because his name was brought up earlier, let's see what Daniel Jones has had to work with since the year before he was drafted in 2019. 2018: RB Saquon Barkley; G Will Hernandez 2019: QB Daniel Jones 2020: T Andrew Thomas; T Matt Peart 2021: WR Kadarius Toney 2022: WR Wan'dale Robinson; OL Joshua Ezeudu 2023: C John Michael Schmitz; WR Jalin Hyatt 2024: WR Malik Nabers So where is the benefit of the doubt as far as being an elite passer who just needs his team to hit on some picks and everything would be different for Jones given the numbers both have put up? My point is not to say that Lawrence is a bust or Jones is a future HOFer. It is not to say that either the Giants or the Jaguars have done right by either QB. Both organizations have done little to help their young QBs to this point. My point is it makes no sense to me that Lawrence can escape criticisms and threats of benchings for his performances due to the Jags front office, poor coaching and/or a lack of talent around him but a guy like Daniel Jones can't use an equally bad front office, equally bad coaching and equally poor talent around him over a longer period to excuse his poor performances.

They paid a bunch of money to bring in Zay Jones, Ridley, Engram, and Kirk. They've invested heavily in the draft on offensive line. Not saying he has a great supporting cast but if you're the #1 pick in the draft, you shouldn't need Justin Jefferson on your roster to look competent.
Coaching and front office deserve blame but he's also looked pretty bad reading defenses and being inaccurate on easy throws. |

Maybe. But I love those throwback uniforms. Love them! Reminds me of Steve Bartkowski and Billy “White Shoes” Johnson.

Tyler Badie of Denver is having some sort of medical emergency on the sideline. Uncertain if it's related to the last hit he took on the field.

Also Bo Nix is 5 for 10 for -9 yards. No sacks, that's his passing yards.

I don't know why Carolina called for that fancy fake punt play. All they needed to do was run the ball through the bengals terrible D. So stupid

The Bears remain undefeated at home. Some struggles on offense early, which led to the fans booing Williams after a three-and-out, but he seems to be doing OK as a rookie despite the fact that they could certainly use a couple of good offensive linemen.
A lot is made of the long-term futility of quarterbacking in Chicago. I often wonder how much responsibility rests on the shoulders of that fan base. It's a miserable place to be a quarterback. |

I know kickers are better than ever, but the number of teams settling for 50+ yard FGs in crucial situations is insane. The Falcons not trying to get another 5-15 yards and taking long shots down the field to settle for a 58 yard FG from a guy whose career long is 54 in a building where the longest FG ever kicked was 57 is crazy. It worked, but that doesn't excuse the process.
Same thing in the Denver/NYJ game. It's raining and miserable, and Denver has Nix run a QB keeper and slide down 2-3 yards backwards to settle for a 50 yarder to try to make it a 4 point game - miss. NYJ get to a 50 yard FG to win - miss. Those guys might be automatic in perfect conditions, but that's not today.

A lot of Bears fans are so used to failure and futility they don't recognize small successes right in front of them. Poles has done a solid job rebuilding the roster, increased the overall talent level, and rebuilt the front office into a modern, analytical front office. No small feat considering the situation when he came in. Many Bears fans think he's terrible though. Williams looks like a solid rookie QB with a high ceiling. This looked like the first week Waldron scaled the offense back a little and just asked Caleb to manager the game, which he did. The line needs 2, probably 3 new starters since Tevin Jenkins can't stay healthy. Pryor in place of Nate Davis at least improved the run blocking considerably. |

Does the Maye era begin after the next kickoff? Or does Mayo accept this is going to be a long season and stick to his guns about keeping Maye on the sidelines while he learns?

I didn't realize that Mahomes threw the tackle that wrecked Rashee Rice's knee.

They're 12-26 since Poles took over and currently have the worst offense in football. I understand rebuilds but the offense is actually somehow getting worse in year 3.
How many years should it take for a GM to not have a bottom 10 team? Seems like other franchises who turn things around don't need 5 years. |

I'm curious what that scaled back offense looked like. I don't understand why teams would not give a QB a scaled back offense early on if they are going to start in their rookie year and then add things to the playbook as the year goes on. I get it throwing the entire playbook at the rookie and see if he sinks or swims but I feel like that should be an exception not the rule.

dola:
As the Saints might be trending toward being as below-average as I thought they would be at the beginning of the season, I am keeping an eye out for bandwagons to jump on. I've already got a ticket on the Dan Campbell train, so I'm keeping that. But I'm starting to look at seat maps on the "Fuck You Dan Snyder!" Commanders express. One more "better than peak Peyton Manning" week out of Daniels, and I'm all in. |
