2022 NFL Season Thread

Good game

Bengals @ Titans…..I say the winner is the best contender to knock off KC/Buffalo come playoff time.

I know Bengals missing some key pieces but I think they match up well with Tennessee

Well, a lot can change with nearly two months left before the playoffs start.  MIA continues to surprise, and Tua playing at a shockingly high level (apparently, coaching DOES make a difference).

But I wouldn't rule out BAL, or LAC getting hot.

Right now you're probably not wrong, though BUF has come back down to earth some.  And if the NFCE beat up on each other, the winner of that division (and MIA is right there with a head-to-head over BUF already) might not manage better than #3 seed.

I agree with everything you said. I do like Tennessee’s style in the playoffs to bother Buffalo and Cincy with Chase could be tough….but they have to be able to run.

The Chargers might be a smidge more polished Bengals team but Bengals WR corp better.

I’m stubbornly not buying the Ravens even though they may be hosting the conference round. Still judging Miami, I like them but I’m not all in.

Bengals need to lose their aggressiveness on punt returns.  Don't risk penalties and just catch the punt and go north south if there is any room.  3 penalties on punt return have cost them a lot of yardage.

OK, seriously, what did the NFL do to the k-balls?

NYJ kicker just booted one from 57 that would have been good from at least 67...in the rain.

I remember several years ago PIT kicker's range was maybe 52....he now might also have a 57, or close, at some point the last few years.

It's all sort of like a pitcher that throws 90 suddenly hitting 100 a few years later.

Using Titleist footballs

Titans sub kicker misses a FG to end the half robbing them of a chance to take a two score lead after they take the 2nd half kick-off.

Greg Z can kick the shit out of a football, but no way did I expect him to make that FG.

“Swann’s out for the season.”

“What happened?”

“Frank parked his goddamn car in the end zone again.”

SLATER SCOOP: Odell Beckham Jr. was kicked off a plane in Miami on Sunday.

Flight crew said the NFL WR was in and out of consciousness and wouldn’t put on his seat belt, I’m told.

The Los Angeles bound flight was delayed after Beckham refused to leave making everybody get off.

I haven’t flown much so this is kind of an honest question but other than being a dickhead, what’s the point of refusing to get off the plane until it’s been deplaned, then you get off?

He’s just one of those crazy ass receivers that are just bizarre. Unless it’s your plane…you don’t get to make the rules.

Wasn’t there a year where he and AB made some big bet about whoever had the most yards receiving (or receptions) on the season won a fancy sports car from the loser?

Lol fuck off Ravens and Justin Tucker. 

What an ending in JAX.

Lol you made me think Tucker choked.

Ravens were hot garbage inside of the 10 (Mr MVP can’t get them into the end zone) settled for 4 FG under 30 yards, Lamar fumbled on a 4th and 1

Jags were 3-7 with a positive point differential.

Tucker came up short on his 67 yard attempt on that crap grass.

Ravens are 1 and done in the playoffs

Player didn’t even flinch or check on him lol

He got smoked

Sean McVay just got smoked by his own player on the sideline pic.twitter.com/4f7Nb5BntF
