Especially if you're paying the rookie qb virutally nothing since he's a 6th rounder.

Unfortunately that nick foles contract is a huge albatross and limits the ability to spend in free agency. I do wonder if they'll try a brock osweiler esque salary dump of him to someone like the dolphins to try and free up cap space

Nick foles is going to get traded to the bears and win some Superbowls in Chicago, that'll solve Jacksonville's cap issues

I think it has a good idea of how it wants to be built, but is still in the process of transitioning, at least on offense. The biggest problem is the defense going to poo poo, which was supposed to make the current level of offensive output sufficient.

Fingers crossed!! The D definitely seems like a big oversight. They had to realize how much of an impact Weddle Mosley and Suggs all leaving at once might cause. And Zadarius Smith was apparently pretty strong of a player too. But seems like he took a big leap this season from what he was.

We just always have these problems with the offensive line. I have to think other teams have similar problems on the offensive line but still make things work. I don't imagine there's too many teams out there with 5 good players. Most have one or two duds that they just have to work around. At least I would think that. Maybe not accurate. So that's why I just don't like eternally using the excuse of the offensive line for not having our poo poo together.

It didn't even draw a flag until they saw it KO'ed him. Then the ref decided to throw it

Yet later another player was flagged later for grabbing the QB's feet as he threw the ball. Not even diving low, just grabbing them as Jackson threw and then he fell.

Whether Carolina keeps Cam past this season depends on how he looks when he finally returns, but Kyle Allen sure as poo poo isn't his replacement.

CMC Is fantastic.

That was one of the two games I managed to watch yesterday after I got home from vacation, I thought he played pretty drat well? A few mistakes, and that fumbling thing hasn't even bit him yet but it will. Overall though good decisions and catchable balls

Kawalimus posted:

Maybe the most disturbing thing about the Ravens game was how after the Mason Rudolph injury, the cart wouldn't start. So they picked him up and had him walk off the field. I don't understand that. Do they not have a stretcher anywhere in the building they can't put him on and carry him out??

Was he just knocked out or did he have his neck hurt? They probably asked him if he wanted to walk or wait for another mode of conveyance and he agreed to walk because he could. There is a whiff of irresponsibility there though


Preferably, not with a linebacker.

Elephanthead posted:

Look if you want to jump 20 feet and land on your head I ain't gonna scoop your brains up.

The scary thing about that is how he kind of jams his neck into the ground. Probably it's just a bad concussion but god drat that's a really stupid thing to do, especially the way he did it. Nothing about that was ever going to work

Hot Diggity! posted:

Things that ruled the Packers / Cowboys game, in order: Aaron Jones, refball, Amari Cooper

Jaire Alexander got burned bad, but he's a good CB and should recover

But really the refs sucked poo poo. The phantom false start that took away a redzone int and the roughing the passer on Gary were terrible calls

Aaron Jones got a franchise record tying 4 TDs and owns

Lots of Packers injuries, including starting center Lindsey and starting FS Savage

Jerryworld is owned by Aaron Rodgers

This weekend was record-breaking in terms of players exceeding 40 fantasy points, with another ending with 39.7. McCaffrey, Deshaun Watson, Aaron Jones all got 40. Michael Thomas exceeded 40 in PPR scoring. Will Fuller (who I didn't start of course) had 39.7 standard scoring and 53.7 in PPR. Up to this point in the year only Russel Wilson has broken 40 points, which makes it very strange that so many players accomplished it this week.

I'm sure they wouldn't have moved him if they suspected a neck injury, but he was knocked into next week so it's not like asking him what he preferred was a good idea either.

These guys are pro-caliber athletes so there's probably a decent black knight-type streak in most of them. So that's why I think they should take every precaution in these types of situations. Rudolph looked like he was literally knocked silly after that.

Speaking as an engineer that has to do failure analysis a lot, "operator error" is code for either "I don't know and am too lazy to figure it out" or "the actual root cause is embarrassing."

Yeah they clearly didn't know what to do and instead of thinking it through they panicked, knowing that they couldn't stop the game forever and ended up just letting him walk off when he should've been cared for the whole way and put in a stretcher
