OT: 2024 NFL/NCAA/HS Football Thread

[Better Call Sal]

I’m with you. I almost lost my shit when Saleh burned those two timeouts to avoid delay of games. The second one was on first down and in the red zone, like why burn that TO in the first five minutes of the second half? Fully expected the game to get close and bite us in the ass. Saleh still sucks by the way, and when the games start to matter that stuff is going to matter.

They’re going to have to bring pressure the rest of the year. That rush four and bring pressure game from last year just isn’t going to work without JJ and Reddick.

Of note, I listened to Saleh's presser this morning and he was asked about it. His response was that it will be something that will be ongoing all season as a result of Rodgers being steadfast about analyzing the defense and bringing the play clock all the way down. He obviously indicated that there will be times where they can't take the timeout and will have to take the penalty of course, but it was interesting to hear that.

It's just an incredible difference to see him act as the player/coach out on the field compared to watching Zach have to trust in whatever Hackett is calling because of his inexperience in reading what the defense is giving him. We're just not used to this level of intelligence at the QB position not since Pennington at least.

Honestly, I rather him use those than just keeping them for nothing. They were in control of that game and with the way ARod was playing I rather not move 5 yards back. The penalties and disorganized offense at some points last night need to be fixed but I'm as giddy as can be. We got shitcanned by that franchise for 20+ years and most of us lived through some of the worst losses to them imaginable so I'm gonna bask in this for a couple of days.

Miami is probably cooked without Tua, so if you guys win the games you're supposed to win there's no reason the Jets can't grab a wildcard spot.

I still have major concerns over the durability of that offensive line and Rodger's immobility, I think against a quality pass rush that offense will get eaten alive. But we'll see.

There's a four game there's a 4 game stretch coming up where the Jets have to play BUF, PIT, and HOU. There's also the Vikings game, which is is being played in the UK so something weird will definitely happen (also Sam Darnold Revenge Game!). I think if they go into their BYE at 6-5 or better they'll be in decent shape.

The issue is that has plagued them throughout their history is they do the exact opposite, they win games they aren't supposed to and lose games they should. They would've made the playoffs last year I'm pretty sure if they beat NE at home and that SNF raiders game which was like touchdown less until late in the game lol. I think the Bills MNF game will tell us a lot about them and this division. They should beat Denver in a laugher, Nix is garbage beyond belief and might shit himself against the Jets D, but Denver's defense is really good so who knows if they get challenged there and then I think they should beat Minnesota barring an absurd Jettas game and the OL collapses to Flores's defensive style

Checking in on how Arch Manning is doing in his 1st start and I see the opposing QBs name is…. General Booty.

Best… Name… Ever

I know there was a Josh. Not sure if there was a Major.

 

[My3Sons]

Eagles have the Saints on the ropes all first half and can’t score a point. They are not playing with any poise. What a shame.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Nabers is already a top 10-20 WR IMO

 

[Emperoreddy]

They tried to choke that game, but Watson is too shit to take advantage

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

the Dolphins are an embarrassment. I am not sure how much more of this I can do.

Seriously, I fully expected them to f*** it up, but they didn’t. Perhaps there is hope for the season after all.

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

Jesus Jacksonville at least let Cook score, he is my last hope in fantasy. Plus my opponent has Buffalo D to cap it off..

 

[Emperoreddy]

Man Lawrence looking like a massive bust and fraud

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

Watching Daniels blossom in my $200 Daniels Commanders jersey. A purchase i do not regret after that 50-yarder!

 

[Emperoreddy]

I hate Tommy Cutlets so much for winning meaningless games last year.

 

[njdevils1982]

f*** this football game score....


...ah, it's ok ...watching another bills playoff choke will be worth it

 

[AfroThunder396]

Rough night for the "Bills have no weapons" crowd.

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

Aye, Bills have been the best team in the league in the 3 first game weeks

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Rough night for the "Bills have no weapons" crowd.

I mean, their leading WR snaps are Mack Hollins and MVS

its just that Allen is a god damn animal

obviously Cook is a beast and I like Shakir

 

[Better Call Sal]

Jacksonville is horrific.

 

[Saugus]

Jacksonville is horrific.

This is true even if you’re not talking about the football team.

That's the point, Josh Allen is the best weapon in the league. Doesn't matter who is around him, now that they have the OLine figured out he can win with JV receivers.

I'm getting my leather helmet and gimping onto the field to catch passes from Allen....

I was just talking to someone about this, funny enough, but them trading Diggs was the perfect timing. He came into Buffalo and helped Allen develop his short to medium game with the route runner he is and now Allen can just rely on what he learned there and use it with other WR's/weapons he has. This is also the first year he's had any sort of run game other than himself, that was always gonna be a massive boost for the Buffalo offense whenever that happened. Really looking forward to that week 6 game versus you guys on MNF.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

I don't think this will matter for them right now but I can definitely see them making a trade closer to the deadline for help at WR. I think Davante is either gonna be a Jet or Bill this year

 

[NJDevs26]

Diggs whining his way out of Buffalo because Allen wasn't throwing him the ball fifteen times a game by rote is doubly hilarious now that he's fighting for looks with Dell and Collins in Houston.
