Cardinals S Budda Baker: 3. Colts WR Parris Campbell: 1. Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase: 1. Dolphins WR Will Fuller: 3. Dolphins WR Allen Hurns: 8. Dolphins CB Noah Igbinoghene: 9. Jets WR Elijah Moore: 8. Cowboys LB Micah Parsons: 11. Vikings CB Patrick Peterson: 7. Falcons TE Kyle Pitts: 8. Packers WR Amari Rodgers: 8. Bills WR Emmanuel Sanders: 1. Eagles WR Devonta Smith: 6. Broncos CB Patrick Surtain: 2. Bucs LB Joe Tryon: 9. Saints LB Pete Werner: 20 So obviously his list isn't 100% accurate but it gives you a sense of what people are doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 If you are a Jaguars fans and NOT some blind homer for Ohio State, Florida, or Clemson, you have to be freaking out over the last 6 months. He really doesn't seem to get this whole NFL thing Unless you are still in "Hey at least he isn't Doug Marrone" mode 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 Sterling Shepard will be switching to #3. As a Giants fan - I can ensure you he doesn't have to worry about an unused stock of jerseys. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason they announced just London games and nothing else. They feel confident that in 4 months it will be okay in the UK (at least in regards to % vaccinated, no variants the vaccines cant handle, etc...) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 The first funky scheduling quirk that I have seen has come out. Washington will play the Giants - Week 2 They then won't play a division game again until the last 5 weeks of the season (they end with 5 straight division games) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 The entire Pats season has supposedly leaked. They will apparently play @Miami week 1, then vs. Miami Week 18. I am... nonplussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Also, the NFL announced before the schedule release that there are going to be two Saturday games in Week 18 this year. I'm curious to see how they determine which games those will be. Will they be some of the games that don't have any playoff implications or games that actually matter?

What I love is that he's mad and he's profane and he's kind of abrupt but...he's not rude. He answers all the questions honestly, completely, no anger toward the press, none of that. Beautiful stuff.

The story behind it is that the Vikings beat the Rams 23-21 in overtime. The Rams got to 21 the conventional way by scoring 3 TDs. The Vikings got there by getting 7 field goals from Rich Karlis, 5 of which were from 30 yards or less, because their red zone offense was the shits. Then they won on the first OT safety in NFL history when Mike Merriweather blocked the Rams' punt when they went three-and-out on their first possession and the ball went out of the end zone. The offense was getting booed off the field all game and Burnsie wasn't too thrilled about it. Edited May 13, 2021 by Gonzo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
