The NFL Thread

And another pick!

A Patriots score here before the half and this is done.

Stroud looks completely cooked.

I HOPE this cant get any worse. Stroud doesnt need to try to win the game, all he needs to do is not lose it - and he is failing.
Maybe he is feeling the pressure of the absence of Collins, the loss of Schultz, and the non-existent running game.
Usually we can wait to the 4th quarter and let the defence take over, so just dont let it get any worse and hope that 11 points isnt too many.

Not wishing to distract from the current game, but that dead salary cap idea in our game would absolutely hole the current Chelsea recruitment policy below the waterline. They still are giving out 7 year contracts even though they can only amortise the actual fee over five, but if they had dead cap on a player like Mudryk that would still be in the calculations even if they binned him off, they would be absolutely fucked. Of course they would probably guarantee their players £50 and a packet of crisps in the latter years to get around it, knowing they can renegotiate those years, but it would be interesting to see.

Apropos of fuck all, I went onto the Wolves page of that site. Are we REALLY paying Jackson £65k a week? Jesus fucking christ on a bike.

Good. Always take the points.

I wish there were salary controls in European football, but I have no idea how the fuck it would ever be made to work. The wages are probably too far gone at this point.

 

[Jack Regan]

Neither side here appears to have heard of ball security or protect the football.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Does neither team want to win this game?

 

[Dire Wolf]

You're basically playing for a place in the Superbowl given that Nix is done for the rest of the playoffs, and both teams coughing it up more often that a cat coughs up a furball.

The football figures are guesses more often than not. The American sport ones are accurate

 

[Dire Wolf]

Stroud is terrible.

 

[Tony Towner]

That rookie season was a mirage

 

[Jack Regan]

He's obviously having a stinker but to be fair he currently has one person to throw too, the TE Higgins and very little else.

Also missing their right tackle on the O-line.

Game still up for grabs with that field goal.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

He's not a BAD QB, but you're right that he is struggling to repeat his rookie season heroics.
This game is not over, and he can still be the game-winner!
He will be better next season (I said the same thing a year ago).

I can only watch via the highlights, but it's not such much the number of interceptions, it's the type. Floating the ball in the air and hoping for the best. It's strange because I thought this year, he'd become a bit of a safety first, let the D do their jobs game manager

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Shit - great catch!

 

[Jack Regan]

That's a game winning catch. Or is it?

 

[Tony Towner]

Great call by Boutte

 

[Dire Wolf]

That throw was horrible. Injured his own receiver who had to contort himself into a pretzel to try and catch it.

 

[Jack Regan]

As much as I defended Stroud he's actively just injured one of his own players with how far that throw was behind the receiver.

 

[Jack Regan]

Ludicrous decision to punt with 4 minutes and only one timeout remaining.

Then takes it on 2nd and one
