OT: OT: 2018 Football Thread III: Well, the Giants suck, anyway!

[sbjnyc]

The Giants are not beating the Colts. They have a QB.

Why are people claiming this horrific team will win multiple games?

They barely beat the lousy 49ers. Got bailed out twice by the zebras on the game winning TD drive.

Anyway, it's not important to me whether the Giants finish ahead or behind the Jets. I care that Oakland will be ahead and are taking Herbert.

Jets beat the Colts, the Colts barely beat Jax after giving up 28 points to the Raiders. The Colts are not a good team.

I mean I'm definitely not claiming they're going to win multiple games. But they aren't the only bad team out there. There's a lot of them. Having OBJ and Barkley gives the potential to steal a game here and there, even if they suck overall.

The Jets on the other hand have zero offensive talent at skill positions, a rookie QB, and a schedule full of good defenses. Gonna be a rough ending.

Jets will trade down to recoup the picks we lost in the Darnold trade and then take the top OL available.

If the Jets finish ahead of the Giants they are at risk for another QB needy team to trade ahead of them.

Denver, Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, etc.

That first drive looked rather easy. Incoming 3-and-outs for the remainder of the first half.

Alex Smith just snapped his ankle in half. They wouldn't show the replay once they saw what happened, but I made sure to record it from the rewound TV feed so I could send it to my wife who is unable to watch right now (she's a Washington fan). I'm such a caring husband.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The Giants won a shitty game against a shitty team and are just playing themselves out of a good pick.

 

[YetAnotherNorwegian]

The Giants won't get the best QB available this draft either, I guess.

They wouldn't have gotten the best QB in last year's draft anyway as he went 1st overall.

and its the 33rd anniversary of theisman snapping his leg

Love it.

Then again at least you have a pick.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

At least the Cowboys traded their pick when 8-8 wins them the division

1st for Amari was way too much.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

1st for Amari was way too much.

I’ve seen a lot of Cooper and I’d agree with that.

Do think he helps a Cowboys a decent amount, though. Not the worst trade they could have made.

I think some team is going to give up big picks for Carr and regret it as well.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The Eagles had the worst loss ever by a defending Super Bowl champion. That's around 800 games worth.

I'm happy as a pig in shit.

I think Gruden is just going to straight cut him. Doing so after this season surprisingly doesn't hook the Not-yet-Vegas Raiders for that much dead cap.

 

[Fitzy]

Stats can be deceptive in football 101- Eli is likely to pass 4000 passing yards this season, and if he stays on pace, this will be his best completion % season ever, and one of his top 3 in passer rating.

 

[East Coast Bias]

We're a long ways away from determining who is the best QB in this past draft.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Yeah, but I'm just giving my opinion.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Yeah, but I'm just giving my opinion.

I would agree that Mayfield prob ends up the best. I just think at this point it's still really early.

He's faced a run of really awful defenses. I'd like to see him over a longer period against a balanced set of opponents.

Jets, Oakland, Baltimore, LAC, TB, PItt, KC, ATL. There's 3 of the bottom 5 worst pass defenses in there.

Darnold faced DET, Miami (2x), Cleveland, Jax, DEN, IND, Minnie, Chicago.

More will depend on the coaching and weapons around them as time goes on though. I'm still up in the air on Darnold. Looks good one minute, looks awful another.

 

[FultonReed]

is anyone watching this game??? holy shit

 

[FireGerardGallant]

That mighta been the greatest football game ive ever witnessed

 

[Bob Richards]

Mahomes with his second 6 TD game this season. Jesus.

 

[Machinehead]

That was complete and utter bollocks but I liked it.

Kind of like watching a baseball game with 15 homers. Fun to watch but highlighting the incongruence between the what we want to watch and our opinion of the NFL's rule changes.

Mahomes with his second 6 TD game this season. Jesus.

Let's not forget his 5 turnovers.

 

[nyr2k2]

I actually won my fantasy game last night because of LA's defense. Not often do you get 20 points out of a defense that allowed 40, but I'll take it.
