2023 NFL Regular Season Through Super Bowl LVIII


Recommended Posts

Bucs are still the Bucs. Just dreadful in prime time. 
 

Joe Burrow isn’t healthy and it’s showing. 
 

Still football, though!

It's more than obvious. Been playing on Zach Wilson's level all season.

 

Win or lose, Burrow needs to sit next week to get himself right.

I have a theory as a Rams fan.

 

Sean McVay just sucks at putting together a run game.  He was shielded when the last few millimeters of cartilage were still in Todd Gurley's knee but he has been repeatedly exposed since, only to be briefly covered up by whatever random veteran they'd bring in at the last minute (CJ Anderson, Sony Michel, etc.)  This is made all the more confounding by McVay's love of play action which is a cakewalk to defend when you assume it's a pass every time.

 

Taking a look at the Cam Akers situation, after attempting to decipher McVay-speak, I'm willing to bet that Akers was the one running back to actually call McVay out on now knowing what he was doing and McVay's ego couldn't handle it.  McVay frequently coded the situation as a "misunderstanding on usage" which really seems to be code for "I don't know what I'm doing but Akers dared to question how I was throwing him into the line for two yards a carry."  With the announcers tonight frequently saying how little McVay trusted the run and how the offense was one-dimensional I just laughed to myself because it's obvious that McVay doesn't trust the run because he's clueless with it.  It's also hilarious that he didn't trust the run after he traded Akers and threw all his eggs into the "Kyren Williams is our savior" basket - so much for that ego restoration there, Sean.

Eagles gonna get got real soon.  Defense can't bail them out every time the offense has it's head up its collective ass.  Hurts may have regressed, but it's hard to tell due to the play calling.  Not sure how you fix that.  It's like the rich complaining about not being wealthy, but I've never felt worse about a 3-0 team.

That’s entirely fair, look at last year’s Vikings club.

 

Is it ridiculous for me to say the same thing about the Niners? I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop and for the injury bug to return.

Are the Chiefs basically a beneficiary of the NFL legislating defense out of the sport?

 

KC feels like a flag football team- no toughness, no physicality, all finesse, SOFT


Right. So the team that’s allowed the 4th fewest points and the 6th fewest yards is soft. Would it kill you to know what you’re talking about before you spout off?

While we all fall into the trap, it’s better to not even engage with that particular troll.

Wanna re-think that one?


Nahh.  Dallas always has at least one stinker every year against a team they should have handedly  beat. The Cowboys are still very good and going to be one of the best teams by the end of the season. 
 

That game was a true stinker though. All-around. They were missing crucial 3 starters on the OL including two future HOF’s, but still they played terribly. No excuse for the defense either. Credit to Arizona because they played really well, but Dallas also played poorly. 
 

If the Cowboys have a few more games like that throughout the year, then I’ll rethink it but as of now, I can’t change my opinion based on one poor game in September.

Heard this on ESPN radio - in their last 11 match ups, Dallas is 2-9 against Arizona.

Honestly, Baker has seemed pretty decent up to this point and the defense has been a solid mid-to-upper tier product so far. I said with the upside, they could be 9-8 or 10-7 and win the division and I'm sticking to it. But when you see them play a team like Philly, who I hate because of the obstacle they were from 2000-2002, you get reminded of just how far they have to climb back to championship contention.
