The NFL Thread

Surprised the Steelers didn't try to get a couple of receivers in before the deadline.
Rodgers really struggled since the Metcalf was double teamed every time he showed his face. He really didn't have anyone to throw to.
Bit sad to see Rodgers had his 'Fantastic' button dialled right back down though, but the Steelers front office didn't help him one bit.
That said, I think it's wrong when a QB throws a perfect ball to a receiver 20 yards away, and he just loses concentration and the ball skids off his hands to a defender who fucks off up the pitch, and that's called a QB interception.

Totally agree, but by the same token a QB gets credit for a short screen pass to a RB who runs 80 yards for a TD.

That one is funny in that offensive coaches see things like bubble screens and other “behind the LoS” passes as, effectively, running plays.

At least the stat counts toward receiving yards, though, so the player isn’t entirely shafted there.

Bryce Young is unbelievably clutch. Too bad the Carolina defense is still stupid brittle.

After his first season it would have been easy for him to completely fall apart. But fair play to Young for getting the Panthers in a position where they can win their division.

When he got benched for Dalton he looked empty. Like a manager who knows he’s sacked tomorrow or has run out of answers.

I thought he was cooked.

I kept thinking the Texans really dodged a bullet there. Right now he is better than Stroud.
