Thursday night football is just so consistently low quality football. I guess Amazon won't care as long as people keep paying and the NFL won't care as long as Amazon keeps paying them.
One of the crazier drives I've seen though is the Texans field goal miss. They made it from 44 yards but a penalty gave them a first down, so they wiped off the field goal, sent the offence back out and ended up having to settle for a chip shot field goal. Which they missed.
Check out the second Wilson TD if you can, on all time great catch from him, showing off the body control that got him drafted in the top 10.
Rodgers lit it up in the second half. Too early to read too much into though, he's had other periods of elite play earlier this year then gone cold again.

It's unfathomable given the stakes. On his second career touch. Unsure if he will get a third.
Saved by the win I think. The mood of this jets team at the moment, he would almost certainly have been scapegoated and cut after a loss, but in o win it'll be reduced to a teachable moment and maybe a few weeks as a healthy scratch while he rebuilds trust.

wilson lit it up
amazing
another amazing thing about this game is ....
the bookies favoured the jets, but 90% of the public were on houston
this is the 7th time in a row the bookies have won when over 80% of the public have bet against them
i think thats the story -
we spent the week clowning on the Jets and they got a win. So if @Cyclops wants we can do it all year?
Carolina won! and the Saints really suck. What the fuck was that first 2 weeks?
Dak got hurt, the Cowboys lost again, and best of all, Dak got caught on the sideline saying that we all know "we fucking suck"
The Ravens cub stomped the Broncos to show exactly where we are
Lions stamped their authority on the NFC by taking care of the Packers.Half way through the season, and i think only the Commanders and the Niners, for opposite reasons, are a surprise.

Saquon Barkley wanted the young guys to play instead of going for his record. What a teammate..
And the man can play a little too….

If I'm making a Super Bowl pick I'm taking the Lions. They look so complete, even without Hutchison. They've got depth, smart playcalling, ability to play tight, ability to play loose, and they just make good decisions. They rolled over Green Bay at Lambeau in the wet in an almost effortless way, super impressive.
The Ravens are tempting but they are an injury to Lamar or Henry away from coming right back to the pack. Given both are injury prone I wouldn't be betting against that outcome, sadly.
I think the 49ers are the interesting smoky. CmC due to come back, the underdog mentality, a division that still looks very winnable... I don't think you'd want to run into them down the stretch.
-
and the Saints sack their head coach. I'll keep posting this, they scored 91 points in the first two weeks. They only conceded 29.
In the next 7 weeks that goes to 116-200.

yeah i have been reading about this. Some of the worst management you will see.
I have seen a few teams enquiring about Lattimore.
That Carr hit though, eeeesh (coming from the supporter of a team that is still paying Russell Wilson).
-
The worst part is, who the fuck can they get to replace him? No one is going to look at that roster/cap situation and think it is a good move.
Aspiring coaches will see their reputation getting tanked as they can't turn trash in to treasure. Established coaches will wait for a better situation with better pieces. No one good (an not desperate) is taking that job.
-
Exactly. The only thing in their favour is being in the worst division in the NFL, so you're always in with a chance of making the playoffs. And they aren't a historically bad franchise.
But QB is ugly. They probably try and take a chance on a guy like Fields, or else tank hard and try and take a QB in the top 10. No idea what this draft class is like though.
-
smart move is eat 2025 and come back in 2026.
-
2025 draft class doesn't look like a great QB group.
There are only 32 HC jobs in the NFL so every role is appealing. Every vacant role generally has roster problems, although this saints team is probably worse than most.
Their cap situation has been awful for years but they used various maneuvers to keep pushing out the hits. They've been one of the main reasons you occasionally hear 'the cap is a lie'. The reality is it always comes due.
