NFL: ***2022 NFL Season Thread***

[madguy30]

Waiting for the inevitability of Lions fans around me whining "he never played like this for us", so I can retort "yeah - because the Lions as an organization sucks."

For years Lions fans have been seeking the "Tom Brady" or "Aaron Rodgers" that would take a talented but dysfunctional team at best (in the past) or a team with little to no talent whatsoever on it (currently) to playoff victories and championships, not realizing it doesn't work that way. Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers in their prime would not win with the Lions because the organization itself isn't set up for success. These are the same fans that were thinking with Stafford gone, replaced by Goff, would be competing for the North title. Meanwhile, Stafford looks nearly all-world today, whereas so far Goff hasn't looked good at all.

I am a huge Rams fan this season because I want Lions fans eating crow about how all of their teams' problems were caused by Stafford.

I never know who to blame for the Lions' issues but it would definitely not be Stafford.

They've had some very good players but just have that 'ceiling'.

Why do they keep showing closeups of Aaron Rodgers grill? What are they expecting, him crying? Waiting in an airport bar. Taking a drink everytime they have a closeup.

GB just did the ISU thing.

Needed 4 yards, went for 20 and now may lose lateas SF flips the field.

 

[madguy30]

Well that was pretty crazy.

LMAO at 49ers melt down

 

[Cyched]

That was fun

God I love me some special teams

My Niners with the atrocious end of game defense.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

37 seconds is way too much time for Rodgers with just needing to get into field goal range.

 

[DeereClone]

Wild finish. Rodgers was calm and collected and being comfortable to use the middle of the field with very little time left and no TOs was the key to the last drive.

ESPN said 49ers were down 6 with 2 seconds left, what happened??

Leaving Adams open was a bold move

Leaving him open twice….

I think that must’ve been a typo/mistake

San Fran scored go ahead TD with 37 sec left. Rodgers leads them down the field and Crosby kicks the game winner

I saw that too when I went to go look at stats. They were off

My first mistake was not watching. My second mistake was trusting espn app to be accurate. I should know better.

For most of my life I have been way more of a college football fan than NFL fan when it comes to just watching a random game. NFL is totally passing college by though and I think the two main factors are parity and game length.

Most NFL games are within 10 points and the entertainment value of their primetime games have been through the roof through the first three weeks of the season.

NFL also has game time down to about 3 hours. College football needs to do away with clock stopping on first downs. I would say they need to cut down on TV timeouts too but that's where the money is so I don't see that ending anytime soon.

Pssh. Like the Bears would even be within a field goal or have someone to hit the field goal or have a QB settled or consistent cosching or resemble a team with an identity or have any consistency whatsoever.

 

[Bigman38]

The bears situation is a pretty good example of why I think everyone calling for a backup QB is a ******* moron.
