The best thing about the Taylor Swift/Kelce thing is watching all the Swifties on Twitter/X speedrunning what football is, how one plays a football, what one wears as a fan of a football, etc. At the rate they're going, by tonight they'll be arguing about it being a passing league vs. RUN THE BALL.

Hope they keep Moore after they fire Staley at the end of the season, Herbert deserves a competent offensive mind to help him rain down more TDs.

I know, celebrity culture and all, but that betting thing feels gross

I went back and watched the Dolphins game, since I usually redzone it up in Sundays. Interesting that it didn’t even feel that out of control until near the end of the first half.

Sean Payton isn't going to get fired for giving up 70 points. He got the team to score 69 points through three games when last year they had only 44 at the same point last year. I think the majority of last year's were defensive, as well. This year has mostly been offense. The Broncos offense is definitely much better than it was last year and will continue to get better week over week.

The defense, though, wooof.

Yeah. This season was going to be a team audit either way. The only heat on Payton is figuring out a proportional response to eating a 70-burger. Even if it’s not canning Joseph, he needs to do something to signal to Penner and the fan base that yesterday was unacceptable.

Hell, just make the whole fuckin’ team run suicides all day tomorrow until they’re puking or they quit. Bench every starter for the first series against the Bears. Something.

The jets should give every retread, UDFA, or practice squad QB out there a 1 week on the job try out game and just keep trying until they find one better than zach wilson.

i feel like i would take any starting cfl qb over wilson? would wilson even start in the cfl?

jets should call any of them. not sure how that would look contractually, but they'd at least be in shape and motivated.

e: also, comedy change of scene options: fields for wilson.

abelwingnut posted:

yea, what exactly is going on here? how did he fix that o-line from shaky to an actual wall?

There's basically no exposure to a real pass rush for a variety of reasons. They run a really low rate of "true" pass protection(loads of RPO/PA/bootleg/screens), which changes the blocking. They don't get forced into a lot of "must pass" situations because they do so well on 1st and 2nd down, so the whole playbook is open and there aren't a lot of snaps where the pass rush trusts just going all-out attacking. Tua has a quick release and great anticipation on timing routes, so the ball is out very quickly to guys who are further down the field than the drop depth and timing would be for most of the rest of the league.

How did Justin Fields throw for only 99 yards when his team was down two scores the entire game ?

The Dolphins were pretty hapless for a while and there were a lot of weirdly aggressive takes on Tua, I kinda like the aggressive shittalking now that he's succeeding. Although the Tuanon folks bullying, like, Mina Kimes, when she's always been pretty fair and well-reasoned about Tua (as she is about everything, 'cause she's, y'know, good at her job) is weird. They should probably cut that out.

Yeah, there’s a lot of pent up rage in dumb dolphins fans having to deal with every single mention of Tua over the last 3 years invoking SHOUDLVE DRAFTED HERBERT LOLOL!!! IDIOTS!! In the responses.

There’s a common denominator and it’s people saying stupid poo poo for attention, whether it’s Chris Simms or a Chargers/Dolphins fan arguing about a decision that was 5 years ago

TIL that the Bucs mascot has a sword, which I guess makes sense but I don't usually think of mascots having accessories.

Also I'm surprised that the Eagles haven't started 3-0 since the early 90s. Not even once in the late 90s/early 00s Reid years?
