2022 NFL Season Thread

Matt Canada needs to leave. Terrible schemes, defense knows the routes the receivers are running. Sideline passes and known jet sweeps

Wasted opportunities.

Steelers receivers were last in the NFL in separation last year…and obviously still a glaring problem. It takes a highlight pass and catch to earn a passing reception of over 8 yards. If your QB scrambles for 8 seconds and has to throw the ball away…either the WR are me or schemes are bad.

Pretty good display so far. Would be cool to get it for another half 

Hahahahhaha...no. Back to what I've seen all year.

That said, I'm afraid Kenny Picket isn't franchise QB material.

Pickens is coming along.  DJ is overrated.  Otherwise, yeah, no one worth a damn on that offense.

Too early to judge Pickett. He gets .8 seconds in the pocket but after 8 seconds no one is open…bad mix. 4 or 5 starts in I still see good things and he can lay some passes in there. Pickens dropped a great one for TD. He can make things happen a bit but for not as no one is open.

Not many rookie QB’s aren’t having a turnover for that whole game with so much pressure.

I get all that.  But IMO Pickett is only making about 1/4 of the throws per game I expect from a top QB.

And not talking mentally.  I mean physically making throws NFL QB's make routinely.  I'm not sure, at this point, if he can even be as good as Baker Mayfield.

I need to see him not having to throw his guys open. Routine throws aren’t routine when everything is rushed….and yes he’s part of it as he’s not getting his check downs as quick as need be and he’s too comfortable with his safety piece Friermuth. With a pocket that’s not completely collapsed he threw incredible passes to Pickens.

He’s somewhere in that Baker Mayfield, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Taylor Heineke look….but man it’s crazy early and he looks like he’ll adjust to me, but not sure it’ll be enough eith Canada.

Damn. What happened to Minnesota

I posted last week (or maybe I didn’t) but I told several people that I wouldn’t be surprised after that heavyweight fight last week that Buffalo and Minnesota both look dead or at least not their normal selves.

Bills/Vikings was insane

Bills up 27-10 going into 4th….Vikings get stopped on 4 inch line game 27-23 with 44 seconds …..Allen never gets snap for risky sneak and fumbles for Vikings TD. Bills drive field in 40 seconds but settle for FG from 10 with 5 seconds left.

Vikings get ball in OT and make huge plays and get to 1st snd goal at the 3 but Bills survive for a FG hold. Allen gets ball with 4 min and puts Bills on his back clear down to the 20 but using a ton of energy on tough runs….then forces a ball late and picked off in end zone for the L

I thought Bills should’ve actually snapped into the shot gun from the 4 inch line….it was plugged tight. Worst case scenario Allen scrambles 3x, has no opening to get out of end zone and fires ball deep taking clock down about 25 seconds and punt to maybe the 40 but only around 20 seconds and needing a TD……likely one of the 3 Allen finds an opening to get to the 2 or 3 and just kneel it out or an open guy for the safest of 3 yards passes

Hell of a win from the Vikings

Both teams might struggle next week after that battle for the ages

Yep

Zach Wilson really turned into a douchebag today. Has he ever shown these colors before?

Seems obvious….but what did he do?

Other than the very final comment/answer….I have no issue with anything he said. Clearly the offense sucked but his points were valid and Patriots same issue. In a sense that they did the best they could snd face the effort, I can see not feeling like you met anyone down.

It’s noted but I was expecting way more smug.

Okay 😞

I have a feeling this one isn’t over just yet

I mean I kinda want to hate him but I need more. I’m sure he’ll give it soon enough.

I have a feeling I was very wrong

I dont hate him. There's certainly a lot of clamoring going around social media to move on him from which I think seems premature. But typically when your team loses and you the QB don't play particularly well (awful, in his case) then you take responsibility, even if you really shouldn't. He didn't do any of that. And taking responsibility might be even more important for a second year QB who the verdict is still out on.

Agree, but in the end only results will matter, be it Tim Tebow or Zach Wilson
