He was fucking god awful. I kept a sharp eye on him at all times and I was so happy with the results. He wasn’t just miles out of his league athletically as I expected in that offense, he was lazy, he gave away play actions to Myles goddamn Garrett of all people by taking 2 point stances every single time.

lucky for the chiefs pat mahomes finally learned to step up in the pocket instead of retreating until a 20 yard throw becomes a 40 yard throw

i will say this about orlando - he always started the season slow and gets better - but yeah that's an inauspicious start to say the least
i would like to see what they counted as a pressure because there was at least 1 pressure that came off that left side that wasn't on him (it was an empty blitz with the QB hot) and idk if PFF is clever enough to have not assigned that to him

hopefully we can take advantage of him in that offence next week though - but we dont have a miles garrett on this team right now

It's never good when the entire pre-show panel all picks one team. So that means Andy Dalton is going to ball out lol.

Matthew Stafford.... HOLY DEEP BALL. Stafford finally has everything he never had in Detroit.

I'm so glad fans are back at the stadium... it's like music to my ears. Can not wait to see our fans rocking The Bank next Sunday Night.

Nagy coaching other people's teams and not his own

trying to follow the blueprints of other teams but with his roster and with his versions...

sitting the QB like he's got alex smith and not andy dalton, using fields like he's lamar, going for it on 4th down like he's got a humming offence

Have to say.... Trevor Lawrence is going to be wasted in his first 5-6 years in the league. I'm not saying the NFL needs a Draft Lottery as the way things are currently works. Just these players accepting their draft fate and not pushing to go to a better situation is terrible for them.

It's all about the market share and the top markets in the US. LA is the number 2 market in the US, Chicago is the number 3 market in the US. It's why we get a lot of NFC East games in primetime, New York the number one market, Dallas is fifth. etc. The only market in the Top 20 that doesn't have NFL team is Orlando and Florida has three teams already. The first big market without a NFL team is Portland.

Chicago is 3? That’s shocking to me tbh

i get that the rams are a great defence and the bears dont have an amazing OL

but they do have some nice weapons and wouldnt it be great if they had a mobile and aggressive QB who could maybe use his mobility to create more time in the pocket to allow some routes to develop downfield
