NFL 2023 - WEEK ELEVEN

[jaedmc]

Eberflus's entire reign in Chicago has been marked with many many fourth quarter comebacks by the other team. I'd rather the team just be terrible from bell to bell than these blue ball nut punches every week.

 

[RIPPA]

Oh Rivera is so getting fired Friday - especially if they lose to Dallas

[hammerva]

Isn't this like the 2nd time in about 5 years that the Skins QB tried to throw the ball away against the Giants and it resulted in a pick 6.   Maybe that was another team

You really can't make this shit up about Washington.

If any players on the Commanders want to wash off the bad feelings from their 31-19 loss to the Giants with a hot shower on Sunday, they’ll have to wait until they get home to do it.

The Commanders confirmed reports that there is no hot water in either locker room after the game.

The Lions are 8-2 for the first time since a decade before I was born. 

I'm 51.

[Contentious C]

Commanders and Jets still out there as the two teams you can get well against when you're scuffling.

[BobbyWhioux]

The Giants starting QB sharing a name with the 90's Jobber on the wrong end of the one time Yoko decided to be unkind with the Banzai Drop seems hauntingly apropos

edit:  i guess he was one of Da Baldies too but I think of the unkind Banzai Drop first

Zach Wilson benched in the 3rd, since Boyle isn't exactly setting the world on fire in relief I dunno if he'll lose his job long term though.

[BloodyChamp]

Wow the second week in a row that the Lions won a game because they simply had to go to work late in it. That’s bad when it boils over, but it’s also good. Bad teams don’t respond to losing. They just keep losing. 

[Lawful Metal]

Texans win ugly but they still win! Stroud’s worst game but he still threw for 336 and 2 TDs.

Cant complain. Next week it’s vs the Jags for the division lead. 

[BloodyChamp]

Maybe it’s just been a tough weekend for my football or maybe I’m turning into Al Davis but when it’s 3rd and 1 on the first drive of the game and I’ve had 2 good runs, if I’m the owner of a team I straight up ask the coach wtf he’s doing by deciding to run a pitch play to the backup quarterback. Vikings just now. Same as I’d ask Norvell about Jordan Travis running the ball for FSU. 

[RIPPA]

Kareem Jackson has yet to meet a player who he doesn’t want to hit helmet to helmet

[Tabe]

The Rams did everything they could to lose to Seattle but failed in their effort, winning 17-16.  First, Cooper Kupp somehow missed/dropped a wide open touchdown.  Stafford overthrew a wide open receiver that would have been another TD.  They had a TD called back.  Late in the game, down to the Seawhawks' 10yd line, needing to run clock with Seattle short on timeouts, they ......... threw the ball twice, once incomplete, gifting Seattle a free timeout and saving a bundle of time.  With that extra time, Seattle was able to move into position for a 55yd FG to win but missed the kick.   A win is a win but, man, the NFL coaches manage the clock constantly baffles me.

if it were possible that both teams were point shaving against themselves, it would be this Vikings/Broncos game

the Vikings keep turning it over and the Broncos can't score touchdowns

Game between 2 fraud teams tbh. Dobbs was totally shook all second half. Then Wilson wins with another duck to the corner as the DB looks like he doesn’t know wtf he’s even doing.

[Cobra Commander]

shocked shockeddddd that Josh Dobbs couldn't lead a game winning drive there

[Cobra Commander]

Shoulda paid more attention when I spent 6 hours watching Red Zone today

Here's how my day went yesterday.

Self-professed genius head coaches/offensive coordinators too focused on _tricking_ people to show how smart they are like a heel pointing to his brain after getting away with cheating against the babyface is my pet peeve with modern football, trying to pass (and especially throw deep when you need 2 yards for an essential first down) is a chronic problem, it has literally changed the outcome of at least one recent Super Bowl and possibly 3 that I can think of, it should have cost The Rams a win yesterday (fortunately for them Pete Carrol bailed them out by making the inverse mistake), and I increasingly find myself screaming at my TV for an independent and potent gambling commission to investigate these coaches for match-fixing.

Are the Eagles really a juggernaut at 8-1 or do they only look like one because they are the only team immune to this stupidity?

[BloodyChamp]

Preach. Ain’t it the truth. They want every play to look like the result of their coaching. They can’t just call a dive and let that play be the result of a player or players. 

[RIPPA]

Not only are the Jets finally benching Zach Wilson but they demoted him to third string

Tim Boyle will start. Trevor Siemian will be the backup

Another Jets 1st Round QB bites the dust.  2nd year in a row he's demoted to 3rd string QB.

Is he salvageable?  Someone is going to take a flyer on him given he's a 2nd overall pick.

[RIPPA]

Kareem Jackson has been suspended AGAIN - 4 games

Last one was reduced to two games on appeal

I say yes. There have been flashes of good enoughness, and lowkey there’s been a streak of change of scenery quarterbacks breaking out. It doesn’t seem like it but it’s the truth over the last few years.

HE FUCKING EARNED IT SAY HIS FUCKING NAME
