It seems like wide receivers are losing the weird news game to running backs for the first time in a while.

Eh, sure? Whatever. It'd be kinda interesting seeing him go from how Jacksonville used him to how the Chiefs use running backs I guess. Although I didn't realize he got a ton of receiving targets last year until looking him up just now.

This is Mehta who I vaguely remember is there to be antagonistic more than report, but I choose to 100% believe the second thing here. 31 NFL teams have figured out how to get players and coaches meeting in person. The Jets haven’t bothered quote:1) Ownership did not want to spend the necessary amount of money to create an environment that would adhere to Environmental Protection Agency recommendations for proper ventilation, and

Alright Jon, we get that you want to hate on your starting and backup QBs but...at least sign some UDFA we don't know about or something? https://twitter.com/FieldYates/status/1301871284016513024

Today is cutdown day and while it makes perfect sense I had no idea until I randomly came across something noting that. This doomed season is weird as all hell.

I'd just like to note that the Chiefs backup corners are named L'Jarius Sneed and Thakarius BoPete Keyes.

Mega64 posted:I wonder how many points the Chiefs will spot the Texans before Mahomes goes off and crushes their will to live again. It's a regular season game against the AFC South, for whatever reason those games are poison to the Chiefs recently. I mean, I'm not picking the Texans here or anything, just noting there's a weird thing going on there.

wandler20 posted:drat, Rosen is younger than Joe Burrow. Seems like he's been in the league for 5 years already. Who was the last 5th year senior who transferred who ended up as the #1 overall? I mean I have done zero thinking about this so it might have been 2019 for all I know. e: Nope Kyler was a junior who transferred. Predictably it hasn't been that long, Baker Mayfield.

I think I might be wrong here anyway? If so I'm back to Steve Emtman before giving up. And man there's a whole lot of bad QBs picked first overall with the occasional Peyton in there. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Sep 8, 2020 |

fartknocker posted:People complain about Madden every year when it’s launched, it’s a minor story in gaming/sports circles, and then it’s gone once the first patch date is announced or whatever. Like, I remember basically the same furor a decade or so back when there was a glitch with some of the medium/higher difficulties that allowed low rated DT’s to run with, effectively cover, and out jump guys like Calvin Johnson and Randy Moss for interceptions. It made for some funny videos for a week, and then it was gone any nobody cared or remembered. I am not plugged into this scene but I feel like it's bigger this year. Maybe pandemic related since more people are playing, maybe just tired of years of not having a franchise mode update or whatever? Or maybe just me paying more attention. As a person who hasn't played in a while I've enjoyed the buggy videos at least.

fsif posted:Anyone that uses a vague prompt about a team's upcoming season to go out of their way to talk about Frank Gore almost certainly has a terminal case of NFL brain trust. I don't know how the sausage is made with these types of articles but some of those things sound a lot like calling up an opposing team's scout and asking them to randomly say something nice (or mean) about a guy on another team. And probably on a schedule so it needs to go out in 30 minutes or something.

The field goal on 4th and 1 and the subsequent explanation (after a time out!) that 'we didn't have a good play for that situation'....well not so much.

Mid 50s and showers in KC for the season opening game. Can't have the slightest thing not be weird I guess, but a wet ball and no preseason could be fun if you're into that type of thing.

Eifert Posting posted:Seriously how many teams have hired a bellichic coach or GM? Just from memory: To be fair from the perspective of anyone who is not a Kansas City fan Scott Pioli being such a petty controlling GM and driving Todd Haley (even more) insane was pretty funny and good entertainment. I guess you could probably say the same about most of the other teams on that list too.

Eifert Posting posted:What's up with these Kansas City players? If you have ever returned a kick or punt for the Chiefs your odds of being a jerk in some fashion go up like 250%. I only discovered Josh Bellamy had any stats at all for the Chiefs looking this up to verify he actually appeared in a game for them at some point.

fartknocker posted:I really don’t follow college football, but I never heard one positive mention of Dooley or Bielema as coaches. Bielema kept the train running at Wisconsin which somehow or other just runs itself with huge offensive linemen and decent RBs. But he definitely didn't fail there. Good luck finding any fan with anything positive about Dooley.

Codependent Poster posted:How the gently caress are so many players hurt out of nowhere? I wonder if a few of these reports are guys who have been dealing with nagging things we would have known about before now if camps were open. I mean others like Courtland Sutton and Von Miller and whoever seem like just bad luck in the last few days.

sharknado slashfic posted:I feel like I'm going crazy, does anyone know where to find the actual starters for a football game? Like, the game already happened so there should be some sort of list somewhere, but all google is finding is projected starters and fantasy stats. PFR has it, assuming you're asking about the Ravens this was their week 1 game. Scroll down a bit for starters. They also have snap counts.

OxySnake posted:I don't know who Trey Lance is but I hope MIN takes him instead of an OLB/CB. I feel bad for the guy. FCS player who probably shouldn't be, but he doesn't even get to dominate everyone and get good tape this year down. He'll only play one game against Central Arkansas (should that happen) and then hopefully get to show off in the combine. Anyway he's a dual threat guy who started for one year--and was awesome in that year for whatever that's worth.
