@nzzp the King is a beast. He’s a pretty big unit for a RB. Him and Cook have been the pick of the running backs so far I reckon.
His game to win the knockout against the Pats last year was a thing of beauty. Ryan Tannehill stunk up the joint before making a couple of key plays, but he was an absolute meast.
Rookie contracts though, it's good to see him finally get paid.

He can fucking move for a big unit too
how good would he be at 12 if he learned to tackle

I’d just put him on the wing.

Foster wouldn't....

@mariner4life SF are ravaged by injuries, and Jimmy G just got benched. If he can't turn it around SF will be back on the hunt for a QB. Maybe they should try to land Cam Newton if he chooses to leave NE at season's end.
Nice bounce back game from Jimmy G today. 49ers offensive line much improved too.
Anyone else think Caleb Clarke would make an excellent running back with his running style and physique?

Newton's season is falling apart. Patriots don't have too many weapons for him to throw to.

Brilliant Seahawks-Cardinals game.
just watching now.
Wow.
Hawks chewed up the defence all day, cannot believe they didn't just walk away with the game in regular time. Remarkable.
Well done Kyler Murray - he did well to get the Cards down the field and set up the FG. Cards win in a crazy, crazy OT. Great game to watch.

How things change. Jimmy looked awful vs Seahawks - is now re-injured and there's talk Jimmy could have played his last game as a 49er. With Kittle also injured the season is effectively over for the 49ers - time to rebuild for 2021.

Jimmy is paid too much money to only be a game manager. Their best chance for prolonged success is to draft a great QB (Seattle, KC) so that they can save money to spend on other squad players. How far down the standings are they? Might be time to tank and try to enter the Lawrence sweepstakes
It's so hard to read QBs in the NFL. Goff and Jimmy G both played in the Superbowl in the last two years, and at times looked the winner. Nick Foles actually won. And yet all three look pretty horrible this year, while rookies like Herbert and Burrow seem much more assured with far worse teams.

Both were system QBs beaten by superior QBs. Jimmy is not required to do much in that offence, however when he is called upon to throw far down the field he is often found wanting. Imagine what a QB like Rogers could do with that O line. Get a top prospect if available and grab someone in like Fitzpatrick to run the cutter while the new kid is eased in
SNF is a big game, Saints v Tampa
Tampa have had 3 possessions, 9 plays, 18 total yards. NO have more than 140 and a TD already.
@mariner4life what a blowout.

On throws 15+ yards downfield today Tom Brady was 1 of 9 for 18 yards with 2 interceptions.

that explains the very weird box score of 26 completions for only 216 yards.
Tough season to predict from here, so many close divisions
Things we know:
The NFC East is dogshit.
The Steelers will win their Division
Things that are very likely
The Chiefs will win theirs
The Patriots won't make the post season.
I feel like pretty much everything else is up for grabs

that said, he rescued 3rd and long many times today.
Good fun game, I enjoyed it
@mariner4life said in NFL Season 2020/21:
Tom Brady is a bitch!
only against young QB.
OK, he's a bitch 
also, the two interceptions he threw yesterday were abysmal. No receiver anywhere near, and went straight to the Rams defenders.
Denver play the Saints with Lindsay out with a bad knee, and a bunch of guys tipped out for COVID, including the QB and the backup QB
And predictably get hosed
You reckon Tampa are happy with their QB trade?
oh shit, i didn't realise the guy who played QB for Denver today was an undrafted rookie wide receiver!
At least in the NFL you get well compensated.
The Broncos emergency QB got over $50K NZD for today's game.
If you want to watch what blatant, "we're not even going to try and hide it" match fixing looks like
Go watch the Jets tank against the Raiders.
I feel sorry for these great college QBs that have to keep going to dumpster fire organisations.
Huge win for Washington.
It feels like finally they might be turning things around - it feels like they have some stability finally with Rivera at the helm as head coach and a new team president.
First team to beat the Steelers.
What a story Alex Smith is - from potentially losing his leg or even his life to leading Washington to 3 straight wins - he's a shoe in for Comeback Player Of The Year.
Washington's defence is really impressive - a lot of high draft picks in the defensive line and well coached by veteran coach Del Rio.

Had this on in the background doing some work, expecting it to be a stinker of a game.
The Washingtonf Football Team did really well -as you say, great D. Receivers dropped some sitters too - made Alex look worse than he was.
Carson Wentz had the same issue - if you put the ball there and it gets dropped, it's not all on the QB.
