NFL GDT: Week 16: Mayfields of Gold

[SwordsgoneWild]

I dunno, from what I’ve seen he’s not showing much promise. He’s basically being ultra conservative with every possible choice.

I honestly have no idea what else Bernard is supposed to do there. Just not hit him?

He's shown flashes but I'm giving him some leeway because he has nothing to work with.

 

[Panthaz89]

Ridiculous that a hit to the helmet counts when you are trying to hit low and the receiver falls down at the last second.

Bro that's OPI if anything wtf

[Super Fadio Bro]

The Pats scored a TD.

Nvm it wasn’t

 

[GKJ]

The reality is the first year you get the young QB the reps, make sure they can actually be functional nfl players, then if they take a jump the next year, you have something.

 

[PeteWorrell]

That is no TD. That ref is blind.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

That's incomplete

 

[RedRocking]

The Pats have been in the RZ for like 30 mins

 

[EpochLink]

Rodgers has been stat padding since the Jets were out.

 

[PeteWorrell]

They wasted so much time on this.

 

[Terry Yake]

lol raiders

 

[PeteWorrell]

So nice of McCorkle Jones to help the Giants get the #1 pick.

Right, but that doesn’t excuse things like coward punts and bad clock management.

If anything, it’s even more important to do that stuff right with a rookie so it can get drilled into their heads early.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

One of the ultimate self sabotage moments by the Raiders. From #1 (had they lost) to #6. Just wow.

 

[StreetHawk]

This was the weakest game on the raiders schedule. (Though NO we will see without Carr and his revenge game).

One of Jax and Ten will get to 4 wins as they still have to play.

 

[Super Fadio Bro]

Now the Giants have the best odds at the #1 pick

 

[hatterson]

Ok, so I’ve never understood on onside kicks when the ball pops up, why don’t players just spike the ball out of bounds instead of catching it.

I think there’s a penalty for intentionally hitting the ball out of bounds, but who cares if you lose 10 or 15 yards. Or does possession. Go to the kicking team on a play like that?

 

[EpochLink]

Raiders win and wtf man

That is a penalty

I think they rekick

 

[hatterson]

Ok Bills. Win next week and lock the #2 then sit literally everyone week 18.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

That game was more close then it needed to be but whatever. I'm happy with the win.

 

[Avs_19]

Fun game between the Vikings and Seahawks.

What a wild time where I was fully confident with the ball in Darnold's hands after Seattle took the lead and then I wanted them to be aggressive to finish the game off. Great job by him on the eventual game winning drive.

 

[GKJ]

Do the Rams not clinch the division?

 

[StreetHawk]

Raiders win and wtf man

For the team yes, better if they lose. Players, play hard to secure jobs for next season. How it goes. Half that roster won’t be back in 2025.

Of the other 3 win or less teams.
Jags/Titans meet next week. Jax has Indy and Ten has Hou afterwards.
NE has LAC and Buf to close
Cle has Miami and Bal to close
NYG have Indy and Phi left.
LV has NO and LaC left

Most likely to remain at 3 wins or fewer?

Giants, Patriots. Loser of Ten/Jax. Think it’s a coin flip with Cle and LV. Home game vs Miami so if the weather is bad it favours Cleveland. LV, against inexperienced QB. Hard to say how either Rattler or Haener play.
