NFL GDT: Week 18: The Darnold Testament

[EpochLink]

Bowers ends a GREAT rookie season with a TD.

The lone bright spot for the Raiders this season, all pro season from Bowers.

 

[GKJ]

Bowers has 112 catches, he only had 175 in 3 years at Georgia

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Rams already beat Minnesota and took Detroit to OT this year so I'm hoping for a great game.

With 2 meh QB’s as well, imagine Bowers with a capable QB at the helm.

Raiders have found their next great Tight End with the likes of Casper and Christiansen

 

[Terry Yake]

any guesses as to what next weekend will look like?

assuming texans will carry on their tradition of playing a home saturday afternoon game against the chargers with ravens/steelers following?

 

[SirClintonPortis]

I think the Chiefs might want Chad Henne back.

Carson Wentz is washed up even as a backup, and he still holds on to the ball too long. 38-0...lol how the mighty have fallen.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

I gotta say , I'm looking forward to these NFC matchups. All 3 games should be legit fun. I have reservations that the AFC games will be any good.

Saturday:
WFT/TB
BAL/PIT

Sunday:
HOU/LAC
GB/PHI
BUF/DEN

Monday
Rams

 

[GKJ]

Trey Hendrickson being the sack king is pretty impressive with how bad that defense was

 

[SirClintonPortis]

This is going to be a deep cut that only a select few crazies will get…

But…

Hey Bengals…it’s ok to start selling tickets for your 2025 home games now

Jayden Daniels played a role in denying the Bengals the playoffs. That TD to Terry was called because the coaches knew Chase was going to score the other way if Washington didn't go for a TD.
Losing Mixon and that one Dlinemen hurt them as well.

houston not playing a saturday afternoon home game to open the playoffs?

It's Maryland Beltways Saturday.

 

[GKJ]

houston not playing a saturday afternoon home game to open the playoffs?

gasp

Mainly because I think they won’t have the Chargers travel on a short week and Amazon won’t want it.

Amazon will get either PIT/BAL or GB/PHI. If it’s the latter, both games will go on Saturday.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

BRO

Mahomes has 26 days off between games


That is A LOT

I believe it did cost the Ravens in their rookie year. Everything was off by just a few inches, but that's enough.

Chiefs might be toast early this year.

Double whammy for the team Det/Min who loses tonight. After the WC game vs Rams, going to be on a short week and long flight back from LA.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Coach Nerd will be there as long as Tua is

Tua is his Jimmy G. Doesn't have the ceiling to go higher. But the replacements are far, far worse.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Not sure how hot a take it is but McDaniel should be fired tomorrow as well. Time for new blood.

He likely bought himself a bit more rope by winning 8 games in a season where his QB missed half of it.

It wouldn't shock me if they still fired him but i find it to be incredibly unlikely.

As GKJ said earlier though; this is likely his last life, or so to speak.

Speaking of the Dolphins and Jets, 32-20 is the 5th all time score. The Cardinals are losers of the last two, losing to the Steelers in October of 2011, then to the 49ers in 2013. Full circle.

Oh I don't think they will fire him, I just think they should. The owner is a total shithead.

Tua is a QB who needs help. So, McDaniel works well with him, so they will run it back again. How many great HC candidates are going to be out there who can also work with Tua?

Bears, Saints, Jets, Patriots have openings. Expect Jags to as well. The rest of the group, up in the air with Raiders, Cowboys, Giants. Doubtful, the Browns and the Watson mess, Titans, another first year guy who tried with a young QB he inherited in Levis.

Going to be at least 5 openings. Possibly 8 on the high end.

This to me is borderline Toronto Maple Leafs logic. Next year will be different, we promise!

I get the continuity aspect but in my outsider's potentially ignorant opinion it's time for the Dolphins to try something new.

Ben Johnson for one.

If he decides to actually leave Detroit and the Dolphins decide to can McDaniel i would have to imagine Miami would be at the top of the list for a bright offensive mind looking to make his mark as a head coach.

 

[HisIceness]

Moment of silence, always someone that has to be an asshole

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Christ there's been like 4 opening videos/songs for this game

Tua would scare me as a HC due to his concussion history. Just a normal hit away from ending his career. Not sure I’d take that job. Ben is going to get paid wherever he opts to sign with. Should get better than the Matt Rhule $60 mill over 7 years.
