The NFL Thread: 2024 Offseason: NO DEFENSE ALLOWED

[Vhozite]

Unbeatable Basuke be like…

[Wellman]

It is sad but probably true. These owners once they get an idea in their heads right or wrong won't budge. Unless Andy Reid pulls something like they did in Tampa where he retires to a front office or executive position and elevates Eric to be the KC head coach. Otherwise they will keep pulling folks from everywhere else they get.

I'm guessing I'm the only one watching the XFL?

[purbeast]

I tried for like the second quarter of the first game.  It just was not very entertaining.

Watching the Orlando v Houston game right now. Aside from a terrible call in the end zone to start the game, it is ok. Feels a bit slower compared to the previous XFL games that happened before the pandemic.

Yeah I concur. The talent level doesn't seem as high as last time. I think the USFL is a factor in that.

Yeah, with two Spring leagues that will occur. It will be interesting to see how things shake out. I just hope one of them thrives and allows for a decent spring football viewing.

[Wellman]

Damn. Forgot Hines Ward was coaching so I am a bit surprised to see him a head coach in the XFL for San Antonio.

 

Still remember him as a bruising WR who cameo as the surviving receiver in The Dark Knight Rises.

[Darc_Requiem]

Well my XFL team is 1-0. And they have better name that my my NFL one. Hopefully the new owner changes that shit whenever they finally get sold.

[BR3N7]

I tried watching the XFL being the guy saying this can be the NFL D-League but it felt odd. IDK maybe in the NFL you know so much more about rosters and understand so many player but it felt like I was watching college which I hate. Gonna give it another week tho...

 

Side note was so fun the last 3 years watching my Bucs be relevant with max primetime games each year(7 years pryor we had 1 flexed lol).... Now I am even happier they are commited to being the Bucs I know being wise to eat all the Brady dead cap this year and being full 10am garbage....  with hopefully a very low 2024 draft pick hopefully we find that Burrow, Mahomes, Allen, Hurbert QB we can mix with our nice backbone we have as a team that isn't just a Brady away but like the Chiefs and a yearly contender.... I can honestly say I want either Trask or someone like Mayfield/Lock to the be our QB... I want 0-17 !!!!!!!! Got 2 division titles and SB I can cling to for a year or two out of it all!!!!!!!!!

who was your fav qb of the 21st century?

mine was chad pennington.

reason

he rarely threw a interception, always made wise decisions. and had pinpoint accuracy.

he still has like highest completion rate in nfl history. 66%.

his high;lights just show off a dude that always put the ball into the right mitts.

Mark Sanchez. I never laughed so hard during a football game as I did during the butt fumble.

Kinda old news but damn....he really does want to follow Favre's footsteps LOL

[Wellman]

Honestly this is about what I expect from him. Aside from a few regular season games, he has been really following that Farve path of arrogance and entitlement.

Aaron Rodgers annoys the hell out of me, but the shit isn't over because of the Jets at this point. They aren't paying Rodgers 58 million dollars to sit behind Jordan Love. Rodgers is petty enough to go full Favre. He can retire and then unretire after the Packers 53 man roster is set so they have to cut him to stay under the salary cap.

[Darc_Requiem]

Finally some good news. Its finally over. 

 

 

[Chadouken]

This is awesome

That's fucking AWESOME

[purbeast]

If you have Netflix, watch Quarterback.  It's the best football show and has completely changed how I felt about Kirk Cousins.  I hated hard on him when he left Washington (even though I would have) and rooted against him constantly.  Now I'll root for him as long as his game doesn't effect Washington's standings.

 

That shit got me HYPE for the season to start!

Edited July 27, 2023 by purbeast

I've never disliked Kirk as person. He's a legitimate good dude. I just don't want him as my QB with the game on the line.

I'd take him over any QB we've had in the past 2 decades.  He's better than any of them.

[Emptyeyes_]

I'm not a sports person at all, but interesting since I'll be one of the event staff at the nola Superdome for long hours, even for potential double shifts for Saints games.

[Vhozite]

Football is back yall. The only thing I like about this time of year lol 

[BR3N7]

So far Mayfield I wanted has paid off... Sure it will be a shit season but 1-0 feels good! If Baker didn't throw the dumb throws and go YOLO we might have a QB who can last a few years. My guess we go 7-10 but again 1-0 is nice!

How 'bout them Cowboys 🤣

JFC I heard they won but I didn’t know it was like that 40-0? They said most of the games yesterday had less points than that total.

 

Eagles W was one of the ugliest games I’ve seen from us under Sirianni/Hurts. Offense had one TD the whole game and we needed Elliot to make multiple 50+ yarders and defense to make big stops repeatedly to win. Outside of the pick 6 we got outplayed most of the game. New coordinators are definitely gonna come with growing pains if this game is any indication.

[Darc_Requiem]

@VhoziteI feel you on the ugly Ws. My number one concern with Washington this year was our O-line. Just as I feared hey are complete doo doo booty cheeks. Our defense saved  our ass. Offense turned it over 3 times and our QB was sacked like 6 times. We have a really nice set of receivers that don't matter if your QB is on his back more than a Instagram thot in Dubai.

 

Side note: Shot out to Logan Thomas who dropped the first two passes that came his way. Really helping out your young QB with that performance buddy 😒

The fact that Aaron Rodgers might lose the whole season after a single drive gives me life

My co-worker is a Jets fan. He's older than I am and has never seen his team win a Super Bowl. I don't care for Rodgers but I feel for Jets fans. The only luck they seem to have is bad luck.

[Darc_Requiem]

Well my team tried their damndest to give me a heart attack but we're 2-0, so I'll take it. At one point the Giants had been out scored 60-0 for the season.....then the Cardinals choked. Props to the Giants, WTF Arizona. I'll take Tanking for $1000 Alex.

[Lantis]

The NY mafia must have shaken em up @ halftime for them to pull out that comeback LMAO

[Chadouken]

Prayers up for Chubb. Knees aren't supposed to bend like that 😣

Damnit, I needed Chubb to get me 2 more points for my fantasy league

I had to double check if the Fins actually scored 70 against the Broncos LMAO

I was feeling some kind of way watching my team get cooked by the Bills....then I saw Dolphins hang 70 on the Broncos 👀

[Reiraku]

It's a good week to be a Fins fan

[Wellman]

Dolphins are really good, but let's not undersell how bad the Broncos defense must be to give up that many yards. Even when they put in the reserves.

 

Next season, Russell Wilson will be a good backup for some team probably.

Enver is pretty bad. But 10 TDs!

[Wellman]

Kaepernick, I would say should get a look at least. Between the alternatives at this point he can't be much worse. 

 

Even Goff is finding some success out here with Detroit.

[Lantis]

I mean, it's the Jets. Not as if you're living up to some reputation by at least giving Kaepernick a shot LOL

As long as they don't sign Wentz. The only team I'd like to see sign him is the Cowboys. I'd call Wentz a bum but I'd lose a defamation case against actual bums. 👀

[Chadouken]

The Dolphins just scored again.

[Wellman]

If you told me Goff would have folk believing in the Lions 2-3 years ago, I would call you crazy.  Still can't believe it myself.

I'm fine. I'm used not get any calls, Lane Johnson false starting at not getting flagged, and more importantly Jack Del Rio being complete inept as a D-Coordinator. There is a reason we get cooked by mobile QBs. We have DC that thinks man coverage with no spy is an effective strategy. There is a reason we make Daniel Jones look like Michael Vick twice a year. He also loves having his CBs pay 10 yards off the ball when the opposing offense only needs 5 or 6 yards. Okay....maybe I'm not okay 😅

[Vhozite]

Lol nah I don’t want to hear anything about not getting calls after that game. Pass interference on a throw clearly out of bounds, unnecessary roughness on the hit on the qb not even out of bounds yet, literally the entire d line lined in the neutral zone on every tush push, soft ass taunting call. Both teams got away with plenty of dirt or got bailed out via bad reffing.

 

I will say it’s a shame to hear those coaching complaints…birds fans will tell you we have a bunch of those same issues on both sides of the ball. Minute forty left and you’re in field goal range? Better take a shot at the end zone and leave time on the clock for no reason. Opposing offense is 3 yards away from a first down? Better play your corners 10 yards off. We are absolutely being carried by talent right now because our coaching is extremely suspect.

That's our defense in a nutshell. Del Rio is trash. He's carried by our D-line. If they don't have a great game, he's ineptitude is there for the world to see. That said, Lane Johnson constantly false starts. It's not just a this game thing. He does it in every game. In pass pro he leaves just before Kelce hikes the ball. He's not near as blatant about it has Jawaan Taylor but he does it.

 

Side Note: Jalen Carter is a monster. That dude, if he keeps his head on straight, can be the best DT in the league. He has Aaron Donald level talent. 

[Vhozite]

Oh yeah Lane False starts all the time. No idea how or why it doesn’t get called cause it’s impossible to miss for how often it happens.

[Chadouken]

Vikings finally won a game! Superbowl, baby!!
