Said/Salto? 

Considering said has a pathetic record of creating multiple usernames, because this site is his life, my bet is on it being him. 

He just posted on one of his accounts the other day. My guess it’s him. 

I'll give him until the end of the week before he's posting like_that's name and address.

He won’t be around that long

Heard a ridiculous stat today which shows the direction the league has gone. There have been nine 5000 yard passing seasons by a QB (5 of them by Drew Brees) in NFL history. I doubt it happens but there are 8 (Deshaun Watson is just shy of 9) QB's on pace for 5000 yards this season and 17 on pace for 4000.

And four on pace to break Peyton's single season record. Goff, Cousins, Roethlisberger, Carr.

And I read that (can't remember the number) there are a LOT of QBs whose QB rating this year is higher than Joe Montana's career number. The combination of feature backs being downgraded from how essential they used to be along with how defenders get flagged for everything has turned every remotely competent quarterback into an insanely efficient and productive machine.

Remember when fierce linebackers used to be the talk of the NFL? Now, on the defensive side of the ball it's either pass rushers (which it usually has been also) and DB's because those are the guys on that side of the ball being focused on in the passing game.

It sucks. No way should the college version of football be more physical than the NFL yet here we are. Maybe if they didn’t fuck with the rules so much to encourage passing 40-50 times a game then you wouldn’t have to protect quarterbacks as much as they do. Harder to get hurt when you’re only throwing 25-30 passes as a 50/50 game plan leads to slowing the pass rush a bit

Derp

Crowell just busted a 77-yard TD run against the Broncos.

Jets have 2 TDs today, the 77-yard run and a 76-yard bomb from Darnold to Robby Anderson.

Broncos D is 🤮

But, Robbie Anderson is crazy fast. Good throw by Darnold. 

Darnold to Anderson again. Beautiful.

Atlanta, your defense. Woof. 

Bengals, your defense.  :-) 

Crowell has 219 rushing yards on 15 carries. Sets a Jets record for rushing yards in a game. Powell also has 102 yards on 16 carries. LOL Broncos.
