2022 NFL Season Thread

If Carolina beats Atlanta they will sit atop the NFC South at 3-5.

Sick of hearing about Russ, Tom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers. They aren’t good this year and neither are their teams. 

I'm actually loving hearing so much about Russ this year. I think because how much of a cheesy goofball he is kind of went below my radar because of being way out west in the other conference than what I follow and because he/his team tended to be good, his weirdness kind of wasn't focused on as much. But now, he's in the same conference as my team, he/his team suck and his weirdness has been on full display non-stop. It's just been a glorious trainwreck and I can't get enough.

That's my quarterback!

He looks poopy today 

Zach sucks.  

I like Zach. I obviously want Zach to be the guy. But got damn is he making it hard to remain optimistic. His 2nd INT was the dumbest throw I’ve ever seen and I’ve watched Sam Darnold numerous times. 

Raiders what is you doing 

Why doesn’t Tony Pollard get more trade attention? He’s always been solid behind Zeke but he started today and went for 131/3 touchdowns 

Are we sure Dan Campbell is a good coach 

I hate everything

I think Zach has two quarters left as starting QB. If he sucks up the joint in the first half next weekend against Buffalo, which seems inevitable, I think he gets pulled for Mike White.

Ending of that game.....WOW....Panthers tie the score on a ridiculous (distance thrown) Hail Mary only for the receiver (Moore) to take off his helmet, get a 15 yard unsportsmanlike, the kicker to miss the game winning XP and lose in OT (after the kicker misses a GW FG attempt). Talk about hills & valleys of emotion.

For me, the hilarious part is that Jerry decided to make the call after the game that Zeke is still the starter despite how Pollard's seemed to kick ass when he plays and is having a superior season overall (about 1.5 YPC better than Zeke at 5.6 to 4.1). Not so much that deciding that a guy who is having a respectable season shouldn't lose his starting job because the back-up is doing really good, but because that crazy senile fuck's overwhelming desire to always be the center of attention has him publicly making calls that probably should be made by, I don't know, the actual coaches of the team.

Just effing celebrate on sideline after the Xp and the win

Buffalo is gonna beat the Jets by 30 next week.

Lopez vs Lopez looks terrible.

2nd and 5th is a lot for a guy who is likely gone and a team who is a lot further away than a LB.

anyone got any predictions for the trade deadline?

My wishlist and seemingly some smoke surrounding these:

Hunt, Conklin and a 5 to Miami for Jones, Gesicki and a 1st.

B. Chubb to Miami for a 2nd and 5th.

Miami may go after a blocking TE too, but might stay put with Smythe.

Seems to be belief that the Rats may lock him up long-term. He fits their mold.

Will be interesting to see if they end up locking up Lamar long-term. I've mentioned this before in that I could see them riding out the tag with him and then letting him walk, adding a similar QB in the draft down the road.
