Dolfan in NYC Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 In other fun news, Green Bay travels to Buffalo in what 2 months ago seemed to be a very "big game". Instead, for the first time in his career, Aaron Rodgers is a double digit underdog (+10.5). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 Missed this live since Rhea was bodyslamming Gallows, but... Yikes. First time I've seen an (NFL) QB go full on Ty Cobb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 And the Titans are apparently getting a new stadium... If and when it opens, it will have a capacity of 60,000 (about 8000 fewer than now) and will have a transparent roof -- which means yes, they want a Super Bowl in Nashville. It will cost around $2.1 billion. (lol) Nissan Stadium is currently 23 years old, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 The Titans stadium deal was news last week - at least around here - because they are getting $500 million from the state of Tennessee. Dan Snyder wishes he could get half of that from any of the states around here. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34816198/titans-nashville-reach-deal-domed-22b-stadium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Hosting a final four might require waiting but that’s another idea for what they could do with a new stadium in Nashville aside from football and country music concerts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Brady doing that once, I always like to think that this is more something done as a last second means of panic/defense than an intentional attempt to injury someone (regardless of the QB doing it). Doesn't mean it shouldn't be penalized though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 To wrap something up from last week - the NFL has cleared the officials seen in the video getting Mike Evans to write on a piece of paper (the internet was convinced it was an autograph) Of course, in typical NFL fashion, they just said it wasn't an autograph and would have no further comment. So that left poor Mike Evans to have to explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Quote NFL Media reports that the Cowboys have agreed to trade for defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins. They will send a 2023 sixth-round pick to Las Vegas and the Raiders will send a 2023 seventh-rounder back to Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he eventually gets in because I'm sure enough people will politic for him. But he's gonna have to wait a while. I think if he wins that super bowl, he's in within the first three years. Without it, he'll get in eventually just for his stats (Top 10 in most passing categories) and for being a nice guy but with just one MVP/four Pro Bowls/no rings I think he'll probably wait a few years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Part of the problem with dealing with the next tier guys(below Peyton, Brady Rodgers for the HOF: How many do you put in? Sure the stats are good, but the game has changed so much, and in five years those numbers might not look as good after Josh and Mahomes each tear the league apart. I'm not sure what order you put them in, Rivers, Big Ben, Ryan, Stafford, Eli. Do they all go in, some or none? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see this stadium bumping Houston or San Antonio from the Final Four rotation, I doubt they’ll get more than 1 Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madl Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I feel like Ryan is a shoe-in for the Hall of Very Good. I’d probably vote no for the Hall of Fame, but it’s close. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 the only QB to win two Super Bowls that hasn't been inducted? Jim Plunkett (Phil Simms didn't start Super Bowl 25, if that's a thing you didn't realize) Big Ben also won two Super Bowls and played 2 more years than Eli. Not that Ben's 2020-21 really added much to his case but you gotta figure that a guy can't really play himself out of induction at age 38/39?

Brian Fowler Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Ben's a lock. I think the MVP will get Ryan in. Eli's fascinating, because he was "pretty good, but not great" for a really long time, has good counting stats, two rings, and probably two of the five most iconic passes in Super Bowl history. But I don't think he was ever a top 5 QB for an entire season, and as passing numbers continued to explode (until this season at least) his good counting stats look less impressive than they did even three years ago. I don't think him being left out would be an egregious error, and I don't think him being in would devalue the Hall. Ultimately, the two rings and the weight of the New York media will probably get him in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyChamp Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I’m not a Matt Ryan fan at all. That play where he tried to avoid making a tackle on a pick 6 only to get ran over cattle stampede style is something that’s a part of his legacy in my mind similar to Tom Brady being tackled a couple of weeks ago. I don’t think he’s a HoFer. Eli is in for the 2nd biggest upset in history IMO. I think Ben is overrated but who are we kidding he’s in. Idk what the big deal is about Mike Evans when Brady has high fived officials during games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I said it in last week’s thread but there has been some serious voodoo going on in the automatic wins for good teams games this season, so much that it wouldn’t even be an upset if GB won. It would just be the continuation of this linear voodoo model that we apparently have happening. With that said, if there is no voodoo this game could be 77-0 Bills.
