Irlandesa December 11, 2023 Share December 11, 2023 8 minutes ago, Fukui San said: If I had a nickel for every time the Chiefs complained bitterly about the refs correctly calling a Chiefs player for lining up offside invalidating a game swinging play, I would have two nickels. Which isn't that much, but it's weird that it happened twice. I find it somewhat funny that they were pretty mature about the refs last week even though there were legit bad calls (that went against both teams) but he was so fired up this week about an obvious penalty. I get his frustration because the play that got called back was amazing and where the receiver lines up seems so small, but it is about as straightforward as it gets. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3173-nfl-thread/page/523/#findComment-8237856

Fukui San December 11, 2023 Share December 11, 2023 (edited) With yet another QB going down with Justin Herbert's fractured finger, I realize that I lost track of what QBs are actually playing and healthy. So I went through and tracked the status of each team's intended #1 QB this season, to the best of my knowledge. Healthy and playing as expected: 14 Mahomes, Josh Allen, Dak, Tua, Stafford, Russell Wilson, Lawrence, Purdy, Stroud, Hurts, Howell, Goff, Love, Mayfield Starting QB missed games for injury but now currently healthy: 5 Fields, Ridder, Carr, Bryce Young, Murray Starting QB injured longterm: 7 Rodgers, Cousins, Watson, Herbert, Burrow, Anthony Richardson, Daniel Jones Starting QB injured shortterm: 3 Geno Smith, Pickett, Lamar Jackson Starting QB healthy but benched: 3 Mac Jones, Tannehill, Garrappolo Category unto itself: Zach Wilson The QB churn seems unusually high but that might be a short memory on my part.

twoods December 11, 2023 Share December 11, 2023 (edited) It’s pretty much going to be healthiest quarterbacks left have a chance to go to the SB. I also don’t remember the last time so many starters were injured, and don’t even recognize half of these backups, or backups of backups. Who would have thought that the 1-5 Broncos would only be one game out of the lead in their division? Wilson still looks iffy at times and will likely blow a few games, but that defense is legit. The Chiefs really do think that basic rules shouldn’t apply to them, having the gall to complain about calls that were called correctly. How dare you throw a flag! We WERE offsides but had a touchdown, so rules shouldn’t matter then. I hope they fall flat on their faces in the playoffs because I just can’t with them anymore.

mojoween December 12, 2023 Share December 12, 2023 It is funny how the New York fan-base has embraced one brown-haired white guy while trying to run the other brown-haired white guy out of town. Is it because Tommy seems fun while Daniel is Eli Manning’s more stoic younger brother? Tommy makes the “mwah” gesture and has an agent who looks like he stepped off the set of “Goodfellas”? Daniel was drafted at six which no one but the Giants executives agreed with, while Tommy is making the most of his undrafted status (poor Tyrod)? Daniel presumably lives in a home somewhere, while Tommy goes home to his chicken cutlets and bed made by his mom? Tommy is a Jersey kid who went to school in New York (before one year at Illinois) and Daniel went to … *gasp* … Duke (even though as far as I know Duke football doesn’t have the same feelings as Duke hoops).

Carey December 12, 2023 Share December 12, 2023 Count me in as someone who admires Tommy DeVito too. Pretty much for all the reasons mentioned by JTMacc99. Is this sustainable? I'd say no if I had to guess. However, the optimism that the answer is yes is there. It trends more toward Brock Purdy and away from someone like Duck Hodges. It helps to have the support of the team, and more important, it helps to have an offensive coach (along with the leadership of Barkley). Right now, as mentioned, they're winning. If they continue to do so, then they might be playoff bound. Too bad there are 4 divisions per conference instead of 3, but there is an extra spot for the 4th time in as many years which sucks for whoever ends up in 2nd place. If all goes well, then that's great. They still need to draft a QB, but I suppose they can keep the guy on the roster for 2024, since he's complimentary. Too bad for Taylor, but either he'll end up somewhere or a team somewhere else will struggle and fall down below the Earth after trying & failing to win with what they think is a great QB situation 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3173-nfl-thread/page/523/#findComment-8239336

On the other hand, if the Giants somehow manage to navigate their final four games (@ Saints, @ Eagles, Rams, Eagles) with some wins, especially against the Eagles...

Where did you see that? I only see that the next three (58-60, or LVIII, LIX, and LX) are in Las Vegas, New Orleans, and San Francisco. I would be pretty surprised if they went from San Francisco right back to LA the next year. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3173-nfl-thread/page/523/#findComment-8240257
mojoween December 13, 2023 Share December 13, 2023 It was an ESPN alert that said Schefty is reporting the owners will vote today to award LXI to LA. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3173-nfl-thread/page/523/#findComment-8240352
JTMacc99 December 13, 2023 Share December 13, 2023 WOW. I mean, I do think that stadium and location is an ideal setting for Super Bowls, but I would think they'd send one back to Florida, or really anywhere, before going back there again so quickly. ETA: Ahh... Upon further research and seeing a different outlet reporting that Super Bowl 61 will indeed go back to SoFi stadium just five years after the last one, I think I get it. Not only is it a good place for the game, Super Bowl LXI will be the 60th anniversary of Super Bowl I (Packers vs Chiefs), which was held in Los Angeles.

Carey December 13, 2023 Share December 13, 2023 In no way, shape, or form do I think it's a bad idea that they'd return to SoFi Stadium so far either. However, I don't think it's a great idea either. For one, Tampa Bay sorta got unlucky when they last hosted, and they were not granted an immediate make up date or one soon enough. I understand not pushing over areas back, but they have pushed other areas back in the past (for other reason). Of course, I don't know if they're voting on Super Bowl LXII and other future sights. It is what it is. I've often thought Florida was the place to be, and they Super Dome in New Orleans is never not a tremendous spot for the big game 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3173-nfl-thread/page/523/#findComment-8240504
