Football General Talk

I'm surprised Jayden Daniel has avoided being maimed for this long with his propensity to "Fran" the pocket. Glad it was his left elbow & wish him a successful recovery. Didn't watch the entire game but Darnold looked sharp.

Well, the Cowboys certainly are living up to my expectations so far.

It hurts sometimes being a Cowboys fan.

The Cards look like they're hardly trying.

The same could be said for the Cowboys.

Until the last few minutes. But then they had to put the ball on the ground.

5 sacks for 40 yds and an interception to cap it off. If Dak is an elite QB it must be only if he plays for another team.

Y'all are delusional (respectfully) if you think you're going to get a 6th or even a 7th round pick for a substitute teacher kicker.
(John) Parker Romo did the same thing except better last year for the Vikes, granted it occurred after the deadline, and he was waived immediately and signed with the Pats after about a week on the market. I'd imagine half the teams in the league have at least one Romo/Havrisik/John Doe kicker on speed dial that could come in and make 80% of their kicks. Maybe not the super long distance ones, but 85% under 50 and maybe 50% beyond.

Now for the non-kicker talk...

Eagles and Chiefs Superbowl rematch seemed like a pipe dream 3 weeks ago. Today it sounds like a fair probability the way those two are playing.

It's too bad there aren't (m)any Patriots fans on here. I'd be calling my shot if I was a fan of them. If not for this year, the next couple years. Drake Maye is fast tracking towards a top 5 QB in the league. Vrabel is making the Titans look like even bigger jack@$$es than they already are for firing him. And, the rest of their schedule this year looks like a cakewalk to 12 wins, conservatively. Oh, and they have about $120M in cap space next year.

I think i am the sole Patriots fan.
Feeling pretty good about the team.
A new era is refreshing.

Vrabel and Maye have shown their value...

I had great respect for the Patriots during the Belichik/Brady era. The ability to get players to achieve at higher levels then anyone thought and to get an entire organization to buy into a system makes them the goat. IMO.
