Man every point is a struggle in this game.
Indeed I predicted a 25-0 game
“I almost got you 55” ha
I’d ride with Jacoby if that was an option
Joe Burrow kind of sucks when he only has 2 pro bowl receivers
The Browns looked like a bunch of Tootsie Rolls running around,
Right on both counts! Rogers is arrogant and self-centered, and he has been throwing his young receivers under the bus on a weekly basis. It’s always a soap opera with him. Maybe they could have signed a premier receiver if he wasn’t hogging half the salary cap.
It’s Rodgers!
Chiefs beat the Browns back in 2002 when a Brown threw his helmet in celebration. The penalty gave the Chiefs another play and moved them into field goal range.
I was just going to post this. This incident, however, took place while the ball was still live.
Speaking of Cleveland, they certainly looked like a good team last night. And the Bengals did not.
Today is the NFL trade deadline. So far today, we only have this:
Lions trade TJ Hockenson to the Vikings. Apparently for a second and fourth round this year, and a third and conditional fourth in 2024.
Not sure what the Vikings see in Hockenson (outside of his draft capital), but they’re clearly in win now mode and are trying to replace recently injured Irv Smith Jr.
John McVay, who played an integral role in assembling the great Niners teams of the Bill Walsh era, died today at age 91. He was the grandfather of Rams coach Sean McVay.
Of course, McVay was also the head coach of the Giants at the time of the famous Herm Edwards fumble return for a TD, when a kneel-down would have ended the game.
Chunt remains intact.
Here’s a tracker that shows in detail all of the trades that were done.
The big trade that’s getting a lot of attention is Bradley Chubb going to Miami from Denver.
Chase Claypool going from the Steelers to the Bears is also getting attention.
Also Calvin Ridley to the Jags. Compared to most other NFL trade deadlines, this one was pretty crazy.
It is a bit crazy I guess, they basically traded for a piece of paper that says “IOU 1 WR”.
Then again, the trade is conditional on when Ridley is reinstated. And if he is reinstated, it is also conditional on whether he makes the team, whether he meets playing-time milestones, and whether he is signed to a long-term contract.
It’s extremely wishy-washy on both sides. I guess I’m not sure if it’s actually “crazy” (to me, the trade that brought Deshaun Watson to Cleveland was crazy), but it’s definitely very odd.
The only thing that seems clear is that Atlanta really wanted to be rid of Ridley (heh) and wanted to get something out of it.
The Packers did nothing prior to the trade deadline, not addressing their banged-up offensive line, nor their Mother-Hubbard’s-cupboard situation at wide receiver.
@AlsoNamedBort was referring to the flurry of trades being crazy, not the Ridley trade. In fact I saw on the ESPN crawl that there were twice as many trades at the deadline this year then there have been since 1990. As in, five was the most for the last 30+ years, and now this year there were ten.
Correct. Also the quality of players. Usually it’s just a few duds.
Don’t feel bad. The Giants dealt with their extreme wide receiver shortage by trading away Toney, the promising but oft-injured young receiver they drafted in the first round just last year.
Even worse is that as soon as the trade was announced, Toney posted on Twitter that he’s not injured anymore. Since deleted, but it doesn’t sound like it was a great relationship. If he can manage to stay healthy he should be a menace for the Chiefs. Kind of a big if, though.
I’m shocked that neither the Giants nor the Packers traded for any receivers. Read the room, guys, your receiving squads suck.
I would have to believe that the Packers, at least, did do some shopping, but decided that the amount that they would have to give up would be more than any available receiver would be worth.
That said, I also wonder if they decided that, at their current 3-5 record, mortgaging away a chunk of their 2023 draft for one second-tier receiver wasn’t going to improve the team enough to make them into a serious playoff contender.
