NFL

Hypothetically - a quarterback never misses a pass. Goes 35/35 for 600 yards and 5 touchdowns each game. What would their salary look like?

The Vikings defense has been incredible the last two weeks. Unfortunately the offense has been an absolute disaster, and a combination of turnovers, poor execution, and awful coaching have completely stifled any ability to capitalize on the defense.

The Linsanity run came to a screeching halt tonight lol

​

That’s it. I’m fucking tired of playing to not lose and then giving the other team a chance to win.

TLDR: A few conditions exist where the Cowboys would be good enough to clinch the 5th seed by December 17, but bad enough where they are eliminated from division contention. The Cowboys would have a full month of not playing a relevant game (December 17th to January 13th-15th). This is an unlikely scenario but I got bored.

Conditions that need to happen:

COWBOYS

Week 13: W vs Seahwaks

Week 14: L vs Eagles

Week 15: W vs Bills

Record after December 17th: 10-4

Worst possible record: 10-7

Best possible record: 13-4

EAGLES

Go 3-0 over next three weeks

Week 13: 49ers

Week 14: Cowboys

Week 15: Seahawks

Record after December 17th: 13-1

Worst possible record: 13-4 with tiebreaks over cowboys

SEAHAWKS

Lose at least 2 of the next 3 with 1 loss coming against Cowboys.

Week 13: Cowboys

Week 14: 49ers

Week 15: Eagles

Record after December 17th: 7-7

Best possible record: 10-7 without tiebreaks

VIKINGS

Lose the next 2 games

Week 13: Bye

Week 14: Raiders

Week 15: Bengals

Record after December 17th: 6-8

Best possible record: 10-8

PACKERS

Lose 2 of the next 3

Week 13: Chiefs

Week 14: Giants

Week 15: Bucs

Record after December 17th: 6-8

Best possible record: 10-8

RAMS

Lose 2 of the next 3

Week 13: Browns

Week 14: Ravens

Week 15: Commanders

Record after December 17th: 6-8

Best possible record: 10-8

NFC SOUTH

Two of the Falcons (5-6), Saints (5-6), and Bucs (4-7) get to 8 losses by Dec 17th. Falcons and Bucs play each other so guaranteed L for one of them.

Next 3 if each team

Falcons: Jets, Bucs, Panthers

Saints: Lions, Panthers, Giants

Bucs: Panthers, Falcons, Packers

Coincidentally, his opposing QB today, Joshua Dobbs, is #4 on the list with 0.90 fumbles per game (18 fumbles in 20 games including today.)

Ryan Leaf is between those two QBs with 0.96 fumbles per game with 24 in 25 games.

​

Yeah I know it's not a tweeter so it'll get removed but this dude is so dog shit it's comical

I have always wondered, at what point does the team know they missed on a pick? For example, on the first day of Cardinals training camp, was it obvious that the team had missed on the Josh Rosen pick? Did the Bengals know right away that Joe Burrow was going to be a star?

With the officials having their own union they will never allow them to be penalized for their bad calls or even missed/non calls when they are standing directly in front of the foul. These actions are causing teams to win/lose games and can cost a team millions of dollars in revenue (losers don't sell jerseys like the winners do) and can cost players (and coaches) their careers!
I think it's time for each team to get more challenges each half, maybe 5 per half, and the teams should be able to challenge non calls when the zebras miss obvious penalties as these can and have cost teams wins. Nobody wants the games to be delayed even longer but everyone wants the games to be called correctly!! A one minute maximum on a non call challenge gives enough time to review the different camera angles and when it's really close the replay booth can take a closer look, just like when the officials call their own look without a team throwing the red flag. Let's get it done correctly and get the real winner for each game

With all the advanced stats you see (most highlighted by initials ie:DVOA. MLB has the same thing going on) when will the NFL do something about interceptions? Dobbs tonight has 2 picks, one he threw by obviously underestimating the distance between his receiver and the defender; his fault. The other he put the ball in his receivers hands and he didn't catch it... instead tipping it up in the air for the interception. That should be in its own category charged to the receiver. Dobbs did everything correctly on that play, making the correct read and an accurate pass but the receiver CAUSED that interception. Why does that STILL count towards the quarterback?

Week 16, 2019
Broncos 27 Lions 17
Bills 17 Patriots 24
Browns 15 Ravens 31
Bengals 35 Dolphins 38
Bucs 20 Texans 23
Bears 3 KC 26

Patriots starting QBs have always had short-to-medium length names, a trend that would continue if they happened to choose little name guy Drake Maye. Here are all Patriots QBs that have started most of a season for them, in order: Jim Plunkett, Steve Grogan, Tony Eason, Doug Flutie, Marc Wilson, Hugh Millen, Drew Bledsoe, Tom Brady, Matt Cassel, Cam Newton, Mac Jones. New England knows not the mouthful of syllables that is Jayden Daniels.

In this video, Archie Manning is described as the “best of the worst” in contrast to the “best of the best.” He’s also called a “lovable loser”.

Who does this make you think of? I think the popular answer is Ryan Fitzpatrick but I would also consider Larry Fitzgerald to be one, an extremely popular player on a historically unsuccessful team.

Source: he is not listed on the inactive list

News because Fowler said he wouldn’t play this week

There’s 5 games currently listed as TBA. Anyone know when these games will be selected and times be announced?

I am admittedly not a Panthers fan, but I have found the conversation around David Tepper interesting, namely because the NFL world has decided, seemingly overnight, that he’s the stereotypical caricature of a meddling, arrogant owner that is torpedoing his team’s chances of winning. I don’t think that he’s necessarily been THAT bad—or that there’s even enough evidence to conclusively deem him the primary problem in Carolina yet. It seems like some of the discourse around his competence has been motivated by a desire to generate a cartoonish new Jimmy Haslam-esque owner to ridicule: people love skewering the owners (not unjustifiably so), and the asshole hedge fund guy who’s team sucks is an easy target.

I definitely think that there’s been cause for concern with Tepper: his management of his soccer team, replacing grass with turf that no one likes in an outdoor stadium (if you believe the NFLPA, it was rock solid when the Lions and Panthers played late last season), and his hiring decisions (you could say Rock Hill, but he’s hardly the first owner to get in a real estate dispute with the local government). But while his hiring decisions are concerning, I don’t find his firing decisions concerning. Ron Rivera was past his sell by date when Tepper got there in the first place and the team was on the decline. Matt Rhule was a total disaster and honestly got longer than some owners would’ve given him (he made it to a third season with a 10-23 record). Reich has been totally out of his depth, his offense has looked ARCHAIC, and their quarterback of the future is going backwards. Would you have retained any of these coaches? It doesn’t do anyone any favors to keep a lame duck coach just for the sake of optics. Yeah talking heads shit on you for it, but that’s probably because they’re friends/acquainted with lots of these guys. It’s easy to say “Frank Reich should’ve gotten another chance with Carolina” without being able to actually justify it in any way other than he’s a nice guy and it’s bad practice to fire coaches in less than one year.

Not to mention, people have praised many of the same moves that have blown up In Tepper’s face. Just look at the threads in this subreddit when they hired Reich, Thomas Brown, or drafted Bryce Young. From the Thomas Brown thread:

• “This is an all star staff”
• “Panthers are killing this offseason”
• “I’ve loved all of the coaching moves the Panthers have made”
• “The difference between Rhule’s staff and Reich’s staff is night and day”

From the Bryce Young thread:

• “Carolina didn’t screw this one up”
• “He will be generational”
• “Electric whenever he’s healthy”
• “Very obvious pick”

For better or worse, people largely seem to like Tepper’s moves in real time. And even though it’s become accepted as fact that Tepper overrode Reich on Bryce Young, more people would’ve picked Young first overall than Stroud, and at least one reporter (Russini) has directly contradicted that and reported the organization was unanimous in favor of Young. How much evidence really is there that Tepper made Young a fait accompli to Reich?

TL;DR The Panthers’ coaches have sucked and were justifiably fired. People have seemed to like Tepper’s moves as they’ve happened and the criticism feels like Monday morning quarterbacking. Tepper’s easy to hate and that could cloud assessments of his ownership. Maybe Panthers fans can provide some context that I missed?
