Somewhere in a thread I said Murray was Lamar Jackson 2.0. Great in a video game, not so much on the field.
The explanation is simple. 20 years ago the best athlete in peewee, high school, college played running back. Now he plays QB. That doesn’t make him a QB, it makes him the best athlete on the field.
We have 8 teams left.
Aaron Rodgers - traditional QB
Tom Brady- traditional QB
Mathew Stafford- traditional QB
Jimmy G - traditional QB
Ryan Tannehill- traditional QB
Joe Burrow- traditional QB
The only 2 that slightly buck that trend
Patrick Mahomes- scrambles but passes on a scramble
Josh Allen- Is there any question he’s a great passer but can also run
W.C.Fields "I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Ok NFL. The 7 team playoff format is in its second season. Last year we did have an exciting game, Bills vs Colts, sort of.
7 seeds are 0-4, 0-2 this year losing by 15 and 21. Neither game was competitive.
6 teams, 2 byes worked so well. We’ve even had 9-7 teams win the Super Bowl. That was exciting!
I know it’s all about the money but please go back to it. My nightmare scenario is they will expand again.
W.C.Fields "I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Another thought on the Cowboys. The Cowboys were home and had at least 6 pre snap penalties on offense. I can see it for road teams, can’t hear etc. But a home team committing these are inexcusable. 14 accepted in total. The 49ers alerted the refs before the game to watch the DL as they constantly held OL. I guess it worked. 3 of those, 2 at crucial times.

I’m curious who most people think this falls on. McCarthy or the players themselves? Either way with all those penalties they still were in a position to potentially win.
the pick-6 that kyler threw last night is one of the worst passes/decisions i have ever seen at any level of football, and that includes pee wee
there is something going on with kliff kingsbury-led teams, and i don't know what it is. the Cardinals were a loaded gun in the first half of the season -- they blew the doors off of Tennessee IN Tennessee, beat the brakes off of the Rams IN LA, and took the Niners down TWICE. then the second half of the season rolled around and they honestly looked like a team vying for the #1 overall pick in the draft. it's like they do what works until it doesn't and then they completely stop winning.
and then we have this little nugget. how do you have a head coaching job ANYWHERE with this type of resume? 😳

This is Stafford's moment, first real chance in his career, he either rises up, or becomes Dak. I think he rises.
Well, that is what happened last night. You were right Spacey. The Rams came out and played a very, very different game for them. Very conservative on offense. Took no chances on the field and no chances with coaching decisions. I think the main concern was Stafford.....calm him down.... don't take chances with the passing game. Stafford has thrown 6(?) interceptions in the last 3 games. His interceptions and poor passing decisions have been the MAJOR reason contributing to Ram losses all season. Looks like they got that under control last night, no interceptions.....just in time because it's gonna take everything they have if they expect to beat Tommy!
Galaxy interesting stats on Kingsburys' coaching record. That's 9 years of data so nobody
can say its a fluke. That's just weird how his teams go downhill like that as the season goes on.
I don't really know much about Mahomes' college career I wonder if he got worse as the season
progressed, I believe he would have been the starter for 3 of those Tech seasons.

Green Bay should take SF to the woodshed
perkdog I don't think Green Bay is going to have an easy time with the Niners.
SF may be the most improved team in football from the first half to the second half of season.
And I say that without looking up their 1st half record compared to 2nd half just an observation
but they just seem like they've been playing at a lot higher level lately.

IDK Dallas just handed the game to SF the other night and still almost won it.
Garropollo is not that good, Bosa and another key starter are hurt so there are some question marks in my opinion.
As long as Brady, Rodgers and Allen are playing I can never bet against them losing straight up. With point spreads is different but not this weekend. Rodgers and Allen are the hottest QB’s coming into this week and Brady, well, Brady is Brady.
I will take Burrow and the 3.5
Cincinnati +3.5
Green Bay -6
Tampa-3.5
Buffalo +2

I’m going to make my picks early so I don’t 2nd guess myself. I went 5-1 wagering last week. 5-0 after Philly and big on the bills. I’m going to breakdown the whys
Tennessee-3.5
Vrabel is 12-1 after a bye and the Bengals OL is the 20th ranked OL in football.
Green Bay-5.5 Green Bay is 20-3 in their last 23 home games. Jimmy G is good for 2 bad Jimmy G plays a game.
Tampa-3.5 Tom Brady is 20-1 in divisional home games.
Buffalo +2. Bills #1 defense and Josh Allens threat of running and his legs are the difference. The Bills will stop Mahomes enough times to win. Kansas City will have 2 or more turnovers. Easily the best and most confident bet of the weekend
W.C.Fields "I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Easy to pick the favorites, but I think SF, LA, and Cincy could all be upsetters as I noted above. All 3 are riding momentum sustained over the last part of the season and into the 1rst round and sometimes that is what matters.
When it comes to the gunners, you have to decide which one you think is going to throw more TD's. KC-Buf could go either way but KC has home advantage and that might put Mahomes on top.
The Rams fans know that they did wrong by selling their tickets to the Niner fans for the last game of the season...It was an embarrassment. Basically gave the Niners the home field
advantage. Well,......everyone, Ram fans and Niner fans want a rematch...... Niners vs. Rams for the NFC Championship! It's a long shot but it would sure be EXCITING! SoFi Stadium would be a MAD HOUSE OF ENERGY if that happened! GO RAMS....GO NINERS!!!!
Tied 6-6. Sorry to say but the Bengals look totally lost.....miracle to be up 6-0 at one point. Offense and defense look terrible......lazy mental mistakes......it's still early..... Bengals need to get it together fast......Burrow can't keep taking the punishment for much longer.
Go Bengals....looking better. But......neither team is championship quality. I don't see anything special. But....anything can happen! Bengals and Bills matchup next week. I would like to see that! I like those young AFC quarterbacks! The future of the AFC is in good hands!!!!!
So answer me this, when is dragging a football across the ground considered an interception or reception? What is it I a missing here? Refs even reviewed it. Yikes.

It’s looking good for Tennessee. Their offense is bound to break out on one of these drives. Cincinnati is too sack prone. Their offense is too inconsistent.

I do like the Dallas vs SF and now SF vs Green Bay, reminds me of the mid 90’s when those 3 teams were the class of the NFL

Rams got something Stafford never had with Detroit. The lead!! They didn’t ask too much of him because the defense completely shut down Arizona.
