OT: Non-Hockey Sports Thread XII - Heeeeeeressss JJ! (Percy Harvin Edition)

[TaLoN]

I certainly didn't expect this defense to be this much of a buzzsaw.


Love will probably be back. Maybe?

I was liking our defense's prospects the moment we signed Stephon Gillmore. It solidified our secondary to allow our pass rush to be able to hit home.

Williams has two passing TDs against the Colts today. Down to the 2 minute warning there. C’mon Colts!

NFC North is going to be a grind this year. Detroit, GB, and Vikes are all looking above average at least, if not like falt out playoff teams.

Bears, not so much.

65 yard FG in Dallas. I thought Reichart's 58 yarder had the distance close to that as well.

Doinked in though, so a lot of distance, but would've been wide from ever a yard further back.

A lot of missed 50+ yarders today. Reichert made one of the few.

Right on queue, Jason Meyers misses a 53yrd fg for Seattle

So Bryce Young may have been the problem for Carolina?

The rams are tied with 49ers late lol...

I listened to Tom Grossi's livestream of the Packers game today. It was more entertaining than the Packers radio feed imo. I wouldn't make it a weekly thing, but it was new and different.

The Rams beat the 49ers lmao

Good thing it doesn't count since McCaffery wasn't playing

Didn’t the eagles lose last weekend?

Also the Polads need to be crucified for what they did to the twins this year. Billionaire filth

 

[Digitalbooya]

One of my fantasy teams needs a Kelce miracle for points. Probably like 3 touchdown passes and 50-100 yards receiving.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

It's been a looooong time since I've been this positive with Vikes team. Everything is clicking right now.

I could also use that. Getting destroyed and need some Mahome magic, don't think it's going to happen.

Rams are a good team, was more surprising they fell so far behind to begin with.
Two good teams and division rivals, strange things can happen.

Have you seen their injury report? The 49ers having an injury rash certainly balanced it a little bit, but the Rams are missing a lot on both sides of the ball.

You underestimate the players that remain and the coaching staff

I’m pretty sure any team would be devastated with an injury list like this one:

I’ve seen/heard a couple of Minnesota podcasters reference the Texans as top 5 Super Bowl contenders after the beat down that happened yesterday. Not sure if that is chest beating or what, but I don’t see how that can be after the vikings obliterated them and they only beat the colts/bears by a combined 8 points. The Texans seem like pretenders with a lot of hype due to their quarterback.

I think Minnesota is the biggest contender that Green Bay needs to worry about. The two best teams in the NFC might be in the North and neither team is Detroit. They should flex the upcoming game into a prime time slot.

Last note, any news on Darnold? I saw he was getting an MRI. Hope he and Love are able to play this upcoming week (best on best).

He was only out a play? Him getting an MRI is news to me, might just be precautionary.

Just a bruise, no structure anything per all writers. We good.

They were a preseason darling, which wasn't entirely unfounded. A lot of the NFL stuff I watch and/or listen to had them in the AFC championship/Super Bowl before the season (a lot of those people had the Lions in those spots as well, and they haven't been world killers so far either).

The NFL website itself had the Texans #3 in their power rankings after week 2.

I think Houston has a new OC this year, who now seems to be getting some heat. Or he was new last year. Not sure.

Can't see giving up on Detroit this early in the season. They were the frontrunners coming into the season for the NFC North, and until GB and MN show consistency they still are. MN is just an injury or two away from mediocrity(i.e Darnold & JJ). I would have said the same about GB(Love), but Malik Willis has looked vg...certainly starter quality.

Both GB and MN's Defence looks good or better than good.

 

[MuckOG]

Good news on Darnold's MRI today....appears to be just a knee bruise and nothing to keep him out of the line-up. KOC also "optimistic" that Addison, Pace Jr, and Turner will be in the line-up this Sunday at GB.
