OT: Football thread (2024 season)

[JCProdigy]

Why do people believe so much nonsense on the Internet? I used to have to tell my elderly mom that just because its on the Internet doesn't make it true

What the hell are you going on about?!?!

 

[NickyFotiu]

What the hell are you going on about?!?!

The fake clickbait blogs that people believe as facts. The Jets owner story had holes in it as did the Rangers team meeting blog. Just because its online doesn't make it true especially the extra sensational stuff posted to draw clicks for money.

The Athletic is a well-respected website and the article (not blog) was done by three legit journalists with ties to both the NFL and Jets and cited multiple sources inside the org for their article. This isn't twitter bullshit. If you choose not to believe it for "reasons", then I'll just hold you to that standard for any comments going forward.

That is possibly the most ridiculous thing I ever heard on this board. You do that.

Jets defense #7 in NFL. Wilson a stud at WR. Davante playing better. Rodgers has solid stats. Yet they are 4-10. What a strange season.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Giants and Jets both leading in their games. Wow!

 

[Bob Richards]

Drew Lock really is just ASS

 

[NickyFotiu]

Drew Lock really is just ASS

Drew is kind of a boom or bust guy. He will take chances. Sometimes they work. Sometimes they do not. Atlanta is winning with absolutely nothing from their QB so far today. Sometimes the QB position is overrated.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Oh, thank God that the Giants are at least losing.

Olu immediately ruled out, Rodgers spamming targets to Adams, god speed to the dozens of people at MetLife.

 

[Boris Zubov]

I don't watch the NFL very regularly, but man the quality of play is terrible.

How do you go down 34-7 to the Falcons playing a QB in his first NFL game. I mean I know its all DJ's fault but I want to hear Dabes explanation this time.

So is there a actually a franchise QB at the top of the draft worth taking?

Eagles 12 men on the field & they still leave the Skins WR wide open for the go ahead TD. LOL

I am in hysterics over the Jets' last play of the day......you just can't make this stuff up.

Supposed to be 2 right now but usually by draft time 1-2 other guys enter the talk. The QB draft is often a coin flip though so time will tell.

I was listening not watching the end. I know Rodgers wanted a time out. Was that the play?

Sanders and Ward are the two top QB prospects. From my understanding, they're good prospects but the strong consensus seems to be that they are below the Williams/Daniels/Maye tier from last draft.

QBs are a crapshoot so who truly knows but that's what we got so far.

I wouldn't want any part of the circus that will follow Sanders. I haven't seen the kid play, but I cannot imagine he's not being overhyped simply because of who his dad is.

10th straight loss. Longest in franchise history.

Grateful to bear witness to another all time Giants moment.

No -- LA last drive stalled and they punted with just under 2 minutes to play. Punt return caught let ball go through his hands as he was catching punt and LA recovered.

Rodgers, Darnold, and Cousins may all be available if the Giants decide to go for Hunter or trade down.

Thanks. I wish I had seen that.

Raiders won

Giants have the 1st pick as of now.

Raiders won!

Great minds do think alike.

Jets are (I believe) 7th....watch them suddenly remember how to play football and screw up their draft position (or, even worse, trade the pick away).
