Well this week of football was pretty weird n all.

 

[squicken]

Browns have #1 on lock. Brutal team. No QB, no coach, front office overwhelmed. But next year will be better #TrustTheProcess

I believe that I have won the survival pool.

Congrats! Schizophrenic Steelers ruined my year last week

 

[Gobias]

Jim Harbaugh escaping Michigan to come to The Cleve. You heard it here first.

I'd still be in it if I remembered to pick (would have also taken Houston).

Maybe he goes to Indy with Andrew.

Cleveland to hire Sam Hinkie confirmed?

Spoiler

he'd probably draft better than most.

No.. let him rot and make Meatchicken fans actually pine for Hoke the Joke as their emperor continues to reveal he has no clothes.

For UKers.

Kevin Cadle passed away.

FUCK.

Time to start a new survival pool!

The chargers are the only team in the AFC West that won yesterday

Jameis not dead, so I will endure the weekly disappointment.

Yeah my dad just phoned me to tell me sad news indeed, big man will be missed RIP.

Woulda coulda shoulda, now you're just as bad as me for taking those horrible Broncos

It's a tough NFL when Case Keenum is better than a lot of starters

[Generate]

I knew the Giants were going to win last night. Everybody was talking about a beatdown and new players etc but this is the NFL and the Giants still have pride and talent. Denver still has an unproven young QB so he is bound to have some off games and Giants defense came to play.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Bengals gonna do us a good one and beat the Steelers.

 

[Dega]

Come home Case

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

For UKers.

Kevin Cadle passed away.

FUCK.

There's an entire generation of NFL fans who grew up watching him on Sky Sports, RIP

[jmizzal]

I still dont see how the Falcons can blow another game like that after what happened in the super bowl lol

 

[Tom Penny]

Unreal suicide fail with the Falcons and Broncos. I should have know the browns cannot prosper.

 

[DMczaf]

Looking at the rest of the schedule for the Bucs and....
Who cares they'll fuck it up...

....

go bucs.

It's 2017 and I just got Fitzpatrick'd

fuck life.

Wat is this bullshit

"I think it may be time for a radical rule change, one that makes hits like Barr’s illegal. It may be time for the NFL to consider dramatically expand the roughing the passer rules, and treat quarterbacks like kickers and punters: Basically, you can’t hit them at all once they’ve thrown a pass"

The play where you see the ref watching this, pulls the flag then DOESNT throw it

He started in the NFL and he cant be worse then the current guys.

The Rodgers injury is huge for the NFL as a whole. So many inconsistent and just flat out bad teams this year, the league needed the Packers to be good.

Who is actually good this season? Eagles, Chiefs, and Patriots, sort of? Oof.

 

[squicken]

It's crazy how impressive Watson looks in so few starts. The inside zone runs are working just like Chip Kelly foresaw they could from an NFL spread. Aside from a couple peak Schaub years they have never had a good offense. Seattle will be a tough test in 2 weeks

 

[Sephzilla]

My Facebook feed today is full of Kaepernick vs Romo debates. If the Packers had a better offensive line I would say they should try to talk Romo out of the booth. But with the current offensive line I think Kaepernick would be a better option simply because he's more mobile, and Romo signing with the Packers might be a death sentence behind that line.

The reality is McCarthy and Thompson are probably going to stick with Hundley because they have the stupid "stick with our guy" mindset even though Hundley was overthrowing screen passes by 10 yards and attempting passes when he had zero feet on the ground yesterday

Two most pressured QB's in the league. Watson and Wilson

 

[Goro Majima]

Romo ain’t coming out of that booth after being the best color guy since Madden. Kids are going to know him for his commentary long after everyone forgot he played for the Cowboys.

Kaepernick is the best choice honestly. He’s from Wisconsin, it’s a high profile landing spot to silence critics, and McCarthy could probably win games with him.

I feel like if the Packers don’t hire Kaep, the whole thing is going to look way worse than it is

I said that yesterday. Too many quarterbacks are going down, and ratings go down with it. At some point the NFL will make a change for "player safety".

Two hand touch the QB for a sack.

Shit is hilarious to me because if you are a RB they don't give a flying fuck about your safety.

Ya. Offenses will just continue to get better. Imagine a QB who sits in the pocket knowing that he doesn't have to worry about taking a shot from a defender.

It's coming.

I don’t love pressure stats because some QBs hold the ball too long and take hits they shouldn’t. I think it’s just one of those things you have to see. Like I know that Seattle has a crap line and Wilson is running for his life. Watson isn’t under near the duress

 

[Hickbilly Deluxe]

What world wouod we be living in if Keenum takes the Vikings all the way?

 

[Mix Master]

Romo is great on TNF. He should stay there.

 

[Sephzilla]

As much as I'd like to see Romo come in and be some kind of Packers savior, he's the best color commentary guy in football right now

Peter King MMQB

• Deshaun Watson is as unique a rookie as I remember in the NFL. Think of Watson since he's been drafted. He worker-beed his way through training camp, giving deference to nominal starter Tom Savage. He donated his first game check to three lunch ladies with the Texans who suffered losses in the big Houston flood. He struggled to beat the Bengals in his first start, dueled Tom Brady to a close loss in his second start, then threw 12 touchdown passes in his past three games. As you read this, Watson, who might have spent the year on the bench if Savage had torn up foes in September, leads the NFL in TD throws, with 15. And on Sunday, before the game against Cleveland, he wore a Warren Moon jersey in honor of the best quarterback in franchise history. ”So much he did for this organization—I just wanted to show my appreciation for everything he's done, and for paving the way for future quarterbacks," Watson told me after the game. That's what I mean: He says the right things, does the right things, and plays the right way. He said he isn't surprised at his early success, and he doesn't know why his adjustment has been so seamless. I'll give you one clue: There's one person on this planet who's twice thrown for 400 yards against a Nick Saban-coached defense—Watson, at Clemson. Football's football. ”The reason I'm not surprised is because of the preparation and the mindset I have," Watson said. Watching him now, he still might lock onto his first read too regularly, but he's so confident and plays so fast that you figure his progressions will come in time. In his last three games, he's playing to a 118.3 rating, ridiculous for a rookie. But postgame Sunday, what he was thinking about was the pick-six he threw to Cleveland cornerback Jason McCourty, even after his fourth straight strong performance. ”I'm really upset about that pick-six," he said. ”I was pissed off. I hate turning the ball over. That's going to stick with me." Music to his coaches' ears.

The bolded is what will take Watson places. Most young QB's responses would be "Well it was one bad play look at the rest of my stats!". Great QB's look at that one nagging mistake and it eats at them to not make it again.

I never doubted Watsons drive just his physical abilities but I NEVER expected him to do what he is doing.

We lost RG3 and are losing Andrew Luck do to injuries. Entire QB careers (and therefore potential dollars) are going down the toilet.

The league will have to do something and it’s gonna suck.
