Spy Watson here

Lol you have to spy him

I hate that play….especially when there are no other plays.

Yeah, thanks for nothing Pittsburgh.

If Baltimore again wins a bunch of games with their backup, isn’t that more proof they don’t need to give Lamar a ridiculous contract?

Interesting question.  Hundley[sp?] does a decent job of running that offense.  But I still think you win 2-3 more games with LJ, which is about what you expect from backup vs. franchise QB.

I think the issue with LJ is when he loses half a step, his game might go to shit.  And he'll lose half a step over the next 2-3 years....

Miami is so lucky….my lord that was lucky when they needed it most

And Tyreke is still stupid fast

This has been discussed, at least by me, for a couple of years now. With Baltimore being one of the more analytics driven teams in the league I could see them going the way of the collegiate system if they continue to run this offense. Just keep recycling QB's and let them walk after 4 years.

Jackson  gets the term "dynamic" thrown at him all of the time. Dynamic, to me, when describing him is nothing more than a guy that can run and buy time with his legs. He's shown time & time again he can't make all of the throws of a franchise QB. More times than not his big plays are the result of some sort of backyard football play where he scrambles around and a guy eventually breaks wide open. If the receiver isn't wide open in the middle of the field he's hard pressed to make the throw.

Plus he's starting to get injured. Bet he's regretting not taking that fat contract offer now.

If there are QB's with similar skillsets (i.e. Ravens current backup) it could be a cheaper way to go. Would be considered extremely unorthodox but might work unless they decide to go back to a more traditional system.

MIami fucking sucks. That is all. Deep down i knew it. but god damn if i didn't get my hopes up. that's on me.

Their defense has been what's surprised me. Was expecting better.

The Arizona Cardinals are 1-12 in their last 13 home games. Crazy. 

The shine has worn off Kingsbury & Murray. No way I would've given Murray that contract.

Jets doctors won't clear Mike White for contact so Wilson gets the start against the Lions. 

Might need to change my pick in the confidence pool.

No diss to you but I would've gone with the Lions either way. Goff is a little underrated. Guy puts up stats.

20 TDs at home, 2 on the road. He's a great dome QB but I'm skeptical he can put up much against the Jets D, outside, in the cold. I'm not saying he can't, but it's the matchup that gives me hope the Jets can still win with Zach.

Dolphins at Buffalo tonight will be fun

Vikings WOOF

I've watched a bit of it, but still can't understand how you're down 30-0 to the Colts with 5 minutes left in the first half.

Looks like a combination of Colts special teams (blocked kick for score, five FGs) and Kirk Cousins reverting back to norm after being an actual good quarterback on a pretty consistent basis prior to today. Gotta say that this was not the week I expected him to fall apart -- mainly because it is a 1 p.m. game, but it was one of those things I knew would happen eventually.

I guess you don't want to kill the momentum, but you KNOW you would need a 2-pt conversion to tie the game.  So why in the world do you kick the PAT down 16?  If you failed to convert, you could still convert on the next two TD's and tie it up.  Instead, you'll put all your eggs in one basket (assuming they complete the comeback).
