So how about that football

[BudAshes]

He doesn't have an all pro offensive line any more either, most are hurt or gone/retired

Yeah, never spend the money on the running back, spend it on the offensive line.

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Yeah, never spend the money on the running back, spend it on the offensive line.

Exactly. Use high draft picks and free agent money on offensive line. Look at the league's top rushers. Derrick Henry, Nick Chubb, and Dalvin Cook were all drafted in the second round. Hell, James Robinson was undrafted.

 

[Captante]

Yeah, never spend the money on the running back, spend it on the offensive line.

Spend it first on BOTH lines before ANYTHING else.

Unless you do this first, the best QB/RB/WR core in the world won't help a pro football team win one bit since without them your team has no foundation.

Next in line comes the QB then receivers ... a team should only go out of their way to sign a star RB if they are one piece away from winning it all IMO.

 

[Captante]

Wow ... For anyone defending Daniel Jones that last turnover was telling.

I have no confidence in "fumble-fingers Jones" starting long term.




The Giants "D" otoh is heading in the right direction fwiw.

 

[Svnla]

Anyone saw the game of LSU vs. Florida last night? Talk about a shoe (yes, a single shoe) that got away or in this case, throw away. LOL

Here it is...

My Fins is playing vs. KC and just has a INT by a lucky bounce and then a fumble recovery but no point because the FG was no good.

Another INT for Fins and they are ahead 7-0 in the first QT.

 

[JujuFish]

In less than 10 and a half minutes of gametime, the Chiefs went from down 10-0 to up 28-10. KC is too good.

 

[Exterous]

Texans making the Bears look good today

 

[Svnla]

In less than 10 and a half minutes of gametime, the Chiefs went from down 10-0 to up 28-10. KC is too good.

Fins is coming back (14-0 after that safety). Only down by 6 now with about 4 minutes left in 4th QT. <crossing fingers>

PM has 3 INTs today, 2 INTs all season before this game.

I will say, Tua looks like he may belong! He was solid today and hopefully he can keep the starting job and roll with it.

I am still iffy about him. The safety was a killer and the return for TD too. Without those two huge mistakes (9 points and Fins lost by 6), Fins could have win the game. Oh well. No chance to take the Division from the BIlls now unless them Bills collapse and Fins win the last game of the season vs. Bills.

Defense played well but couldn't defense Hill with that swing to the side run/pass (TD and then first down later with 4th down play).

I realize that. Considering he was thrown in mid-season and still managed the game enough to keep it close. Also this is against the defending 11-1 champs. Can't hate on a guy who put up over 300 yrds, 3TDs (1 rushing). Granted, KC didn't play their best game, but I'm hoping Tua has a future and can overcome those severe injuries he suffered. I like a good comeback story

Totally understand. Since I am a long time suffering Fins fan (way back to the days of air it out of Marino and the Marks brothers (Clayton and Duffer)), I would love for him to play well and take the team to the SB in which the Fins has not been since the beat down by SF in the 80's. I will wait for next season and beyond. Don't want to have my hope too high for another RGIII bust as WFT fans.

 

[JujuFish]

Go Bills! 10-3 is their best record after 13 games since 1991.

 

[Svnla]

Darmn Steelers, couldn't hang with them Bills so now the Fins' chance to catch up as Division Champ is almost nil. Oh well, wild card it is then (if them Fins would not collapse).

 

[Torn Mind]

Yeah, never spend the money on the running back, spend it on the offensive line.

The only RB who has defied time is All Day.

(Honorary mention for Frank Gore...but still not the same level).

 

[IronWing]

Packers won, Badgers lost, a mixed weekend for football.

 

[ondma]

Vikings fan, but Brady fan too (dont hate me). TB vs Minn was one ugly, ugly game. Brady made a couple of very nice throws, but also some terrible ones. Vikings started off strong but couldn't cash in. Felt sorry for Baily. He was so embarrassed he booked a separate flight home but missed that too.

Was billed as a contest of playoff contenders, but honestly Vikes are pretty much done, and I cant see TB doing better than one and done unless Brady really ups his game.

Anytime the Packers win is a bad weekend, at least unless they are playing the Saints.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Go Bills!

 

[Captante]

First half was seriously tight but by the end of the 3rd quarter father-time appeared to catch up with Big Ben and the Steelers.

This game felt to me a bit like the 1981 49ers/Cowboys legendary showdown. A changing of the guard in the AFC. (interestingly one of the commentators said the same in the post-game)

Pittsburgh is at best a 3-seed IMO and those 11 wins may well be all they get with that one-dimensional offence.

 

[MrSquished]

Bills looked really good in that 2nd half.

I only saw the first half of the giants but did not look good on O. Jones missed a wide open Dion Lewis, but also on most other plays everyone was just covered well. We need a real #1 receiver. Also Jones did not look mobile. Plus the fumbling came back. Definitely a step back game.

We ALSO need a real NFL QB.

I no longer believe Jones "fumblitus" is curable ... he reminds me of a slightly less talented version of Dave Brown.

We could have had Josh Allen over Saquon

 

[Torn Mind]

Kyle Shanarat wanted to rub it in on the WFT with his toy, Nick Mullens. Too bad Chase Young was the rat poison to screw up his wish.

if your team takes an RB in the fist 20 picks it better be because every other hole is filled and they got that draft pick in a trade.
