As someone who isn't a bird watcher...what happened?

Offense was absolute trash against Seattle. Only touchdown was on a special teams play and we missed the extra point. Dropped to 2-4 on the season. Really frustrating game to watch. Kyler Murray has all this talent and his football IQ is about 0.

At least Hopkins comes back on Thursday.

Broncos are so poorly coached. And for the love of God will they please ditch the ugly orange jerseys? Is it a coincidence that they finally won Super Bowls the year they ditched the orange? Maybe, but they did.
 
LOL @ Patriots right now. Watched the 2nd quarter when they put in the Stupendous Zappe and instantly scored twice. Went to bed thinking "I guess Mac Jones is toast and they're gonna roll now." Silly me.

Anyway. Most NFL teams look like tire fires one week, then like solid professionals the next. Makes for fun but often frustrating viewing.

Tell me about it, I'm a Browns fan and watched the Canes Monday thinking the Browns are a lost cause. Low and behold they curb stomp the defending AFC champs!

Green Bay somehow gets even worse
The Rams offense is ass (Tampa's too until that last drive)
The Jets (!) are 6-3

The NFL, man

I mean … I think he was 13-3 for 3 years in a row? Then A Aron goes and hallucinates for an off-season. I can’t blame the coach…

Oh, I don't blame the coach either. I just know how it works. They've invested millions in their star QB, so whose head is going to roll? Certainly not Aron's.

I mean, did the front office really think they were going to be business-as-usual with that receiving corps? Were they delusional, or was that a soft rollout for a rebuild? "Hey Aaron, this is what we're giving you. You can stay if you want to, or..."

Also, I will say the coaching has been terrible. The defense has been mediocre at best too.

I heard someone say on the radio that Rodgers’ dead cap hit next year would be $99 million. I’m not sure if that was exaggeration, or if that’s exactly what it would be.

Point being, absent a trade (and who can afford the $50ish million cap hit if he plays), he’s not going anywhere.

Jeff Saturday is the new coach in Indiana. Zero NFL coaching experience.

I mean f***, I coached the Detroit Lions to a super bowl appearance using EA Sports Head Coach video game in 2006 and I don't get so much as one phone call.

The Saturday interim hiring gave me more Martin St. Louis vibes given the lack of coaching experience. I guess that's been an okay hire to this point, but I'd think NFL head coach might be more difficult to jump into. I suppose with the right coordinators you might be able to pull it off as a "CEO" type of head coach, but I believe they fired their offensive coordinator recently at the very least.

Some commenter said he thought that Saturday was a good hire for the Colts because their biggest problem is an underperforming O-line, and Saturday is one of the most qualified guys in the world to fix that problem.

I have no idea if that's true, but maybe that's what Irsay is thinking.

I guess so, but that sounds like the description of an Offensive Line coach. Not a head coach. I don't care for the Colts, but I have always liked Saturday, so it'll be interesting to watch it play out. Irsay is thought to be a pretty bad owner by most, I believe, so I tend to think what he's thinking will blow up in his face. The good news for the Colts is that just leads to a high draft pick in a season that has already begun to slip away.
