Yeah, I loved Jamaal on a personal level. Dude is just fun and clearly loves to play. Montgomery is a loving freight train though.

Darth Brooks posted:The mistakes on the Vikings part wouldn't hurt as much if the defense was getting turnovers of their own. They've had one INT in five games and very few fumble recoveries. The one game they won was helped a huge amount by a fumble recovery. I still think it's a better defense than last year. Ed Donatell was clueless. They just don't have the talent right now. The Vikings would have been 3-1 or 4-0 going into yesterday's game if it wasn't for all the turnovers inside the opponent's 30. If you just assume 3 points on each turnover inside the 30 then it changes TB to a 3 point win, LAC to a 2 point win, and sends the Eagles game to overtime. You can also add +6 to that Panther's game and suddenly oh look it's not close at the end anymore. The defense is much better than last year so far, they're not even in the bottom ten by most of the major metrics (points, yards/game, etc) when they were bottom five in most of them last year. Hell, their rushing yards allowed per game is actually middle of the pack right now even with that Eagles game. Like obviously you can't discount those mistakes because they're Part Of The Game but it's also unsustainably bad and if you normalize it out over time they're probably a ten or eleven win team.

I mean everyone said the win record last year for the Vikings was unsustainable too and they won the division, so I’m tempted to believe that this trend of making GBS threads the bed in the Red Zone is super duper sustainable until proven otherwise.

Danny LaFever posted:David Montgomery is a dude. He's even better than I thought he'd be. I was saying from the start he'd be a monster. I even have a bet that he led the NFL in rushing touchdowns at +2500 for a buck. That was low key one of the best free agent signings of the offseason and nobody realized it at the time but me and a few other people.

ZombieCrew posted:Nearly done with week 5. There are a lot of 1-4 teams and the panthers at 0-5. How would you ranks the bottom of the league? I'm going to rank them worst to best because I think that is a bit easier. Worst Patriots - can't do anything on offense / special teams. Defense is dead. Giants - offensive line isn't very capable, but they do have Saquon, so yay? Panthers - Argument I am hearing is that they don't have weapons after trading two of the better ones. Raiders Bears Broncos- Offense is somewhat competent, off set by a terrible defense. Vikings Cardinals - Everyone knew that they would be bad, they are keeping things competitive and entertaining at least. About the best that you can hope for. Best

Cards are easily the best of that bunch. I've been saying for weeks they won't pick in the top five. My heart says the Bears are the best of the bad teams. My head says they are the worst.

If you didn't feel bad enough about the Claypool trade. Imagine their defensive situation with Jalen Carter and Porter Jr. on the team right now. https://twitter.com/PFF/status/1711479143496569263 Niwrad fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Oct 9, 2023 |

I wanted the Lions to get Joey Porter bad. But then, right after the Steelers took him, the Lions drafted Sam LaPorta. So I am okay with that.

LaPorta looks like a certified dude and while the sample size is small, I'm pretty impressed how well the Lions scouting department did there. He was the first one off the board I believe and there were at least two guys that seemed like they were getting mocked frequently before him.

But LaPorta went above Michael Mayer (Raiders), who had been mocked as a first rounder for months.
