The NFL Thread

I believe it is, but without subscription to his shitty contemptible social network it's difficult to tell.

Kubiak confirmed as new Raiders head coach.

Watched it this morning. Good job it wasn't close as the recording cut off with 5 minutes to go because of all the other bollocks.

Has it come out that Maye a damaged shoulder as the comms were DESPERATE to give him the excuse. Darnold was pretty poor, under/overthrows in big situations, but he didn’t turn the ball over which was all that was required I guess. Seattle are a young team so won't be losing many players and although they are losing their OC it's the other side of the ball that's more important for them. I can see them making it back again next year if they can stay healthy and navigate their division.

In Maye's defense, the left side of New England's offensive line got absolutely brutalized. Talented guys out there, but still rookies. Drake made some tough throws, enough that I'm not sure there's a hard conclusion to draw one way or the other on him.

I'm willing to give both defenses more credit than blame on the offenses in this one. Seattle were just able to keep enough drives going that they wore down New England, and then suddenly they'd scored 29 points when it felt like they had 17 at most. The constant 3-and-outs from New England snuffed out their chance to win, IMO.

I don't know if this is true (I really hope it is); apparently, Bad Bunny covered 124.4 yards during his performance, almost 50 more yards than the Patriots gained rushing.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

True according to NextGenStats.

The latest instalment of Americans are weird. You've just reached the pinnacle of your career, you've probably get a belly full of beer, you certainly haven't been to bed, but off to Disney you must go.

The big decision revolves around Tua though as his cap hit from release is enormous!

 

[Alan]

Just hope Hill doesn’t rock up with some team I’m fond of. Again.

 

[Tony Towner]

They'd be better off keeping Tua and giving Hafley permission to tank for a season dressed up as blooding draft picks. The draft is supposed to be a lot stronger next year than this, so get a high pick and try and find your QB of the future there, although I appreciate that's a bit of a trope.

Fun stat any Jets' folks should ignore:

Jaxon Smith-Njigba alone gained more yards and scored as many TDs as the entire Jets' WR room in 25/26.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It is a long time since Namath, but it strikes me that the Jets have been infernally poor since Christ was in short trousers.

I can remember pictures of Saints fans at games with bags over their heads to avoid being recognised but even they have had some success since. Apart from the Browns it is hard to think of a team as consistently bad as the Jets over recent decades.

 

[Alan]

I heard earlier that they haven’t won the AFC East since 2002, which feels true, if nothing else.

Addendum: I really thought they won the division with Sanchez one of those years, but no. Incredible.

 

[Alan]

Also, @Paddingtonwolf, love to see Namath mentioned. Didn't expect your knowledge to go back that far! More the fool me, ay?

Going a 17 game season without a single interception seems impossible too, but they managed it.

First team since the stat started being tracked… in 1933!
