Chiefs getting WR Josh Downs from Indy. KC, who desperately needs help at that position, gets Downs and 7th-round pick, for 4th- and 5th- round picks.
Rumors are that Vikings were also looking at Justin Herbert and Daniel Jones, so Las Vegas didn’t want to take a chance on getting nothing.
Your not kidding.
Brandon Aiyuk - Refused to play for the team
Ricky Pearsall - 2024 1st round pick who had season ending surgery before the season started
Christian Kirk - injured during the 1st week of camp. Reinjured knee during his first game back. Likely out for the year.
De’Zhuan Stribling- This years top of the 2nd round pick was injured week 1 and won’t be back till week 13.
Deebo Samuel - Hamstring has missed the last 3 games might return this week.
Mike Evan - is a warrior who has played hurt most of the year but has missed the last 2 games and is likely to miss more. Achilles tendinitis is a difficult injury to gage how long he will be out.
What hurts the most is not the shear number of injuries (which is obviously bad by iteself) but the injuries have been heavily concentrated onto two position groups. The defensive line has also been devastated. We have played games where there were only 4 defensive lineman on the entire squad left. 8 different DL have been injured and missed large parts of the season so far. Thankfully with Bosa back and the trade for Buckner that position group is starting to heal.
On the other hand, 4:00 PM games aren’t that bad.
I’m rooting for Fernando Mendoza. Seems like a good, smart kid who played his butt off at Indiana.
Let’s go Giants!
Never watched a complete game live on Amazon before. Time to find out how well it works to pause it for smoke breaks and then fast forward through commercials.
Amazon controls work for my purposes but not gracefully.
I’d like to see the rookie kicker do well, but I’m not sure he’s still going to have a job tomorrow morning.
I really like how the Giants use Jameis Winston for their tush push package on 3rd/4th & 1. That feels like a no-brainer that everyone should copy, putting in their backup for those meaningful, but potentially risky plays. Also Winston’s won me over this season, and now I just like anything good that happens for him. I still don’t want him as a starter, but the fact that he came in and threw a touchdown pass when JJ went down for a quarter was just fantastic. And now he keeps coming in and converting 4th downs and goal line situations and it’s just awesome.
The Chiefs did that exact thing on Sunday against the Jets. On their first possession after NY kicked an opening field goal, KC had a 3rd-and-inches from their own 34. They brought in backup Justin Fields to run the sneak. But Fields mishandled the snap and the Jets recovered.
They did not run that play again.
Trying to draw the Commanders offside, but they aren’t biting, so Jameis just chants, “Who let the dogs out?!”
That’s going to be a meme for a while.
I loved Jameis Winston’s “Who let the dogs out!” attempt to draw the Commanders offside. Totally awesome.
I cant tell if it’s a Jayden Daniels or a play caller problem (probably both), but Washington’s wasting so many opportunities tonight. Good on the Giants D.
I think play calling is likely; they keep running the same plays and the last interception was from a pass that was easily predicted.
Daniels has had some bad throws, but multiple times he has thrown to receivers who weren’t ready. I don’t know if those were on him or the receivers.
Giants just had a 12 yard punt that looked like they were feeling bad for Washington and wanted to help them a bit.
Followed by a long DPI, and Washington has a chance.
Washington punched out the ball on the kickoff and probably got it back, but there was an immediate dogpile and by the time they pulled them apart the Giants had it.
And then holy shit, the Commanders pick it off with 25 seconds left.
I was sure Washington had that fumble.
I think they did but there’s no way to prove it. Those piles are old school football.
Not to worry. Commanders get a pick and win the game. They’re still alive in the NFC East.
Boooo!
At least it was fun to watch and the Giants played well, and they are still currently leading the division. But super disappointing.
I don’t know why McCarthy chucked up those two high-arc slow lame duck passes. The first was nearly picked off, and as if he hadn’t learned anything, he promptly threw an INT with the same type of pass again.
