    Regard to tonight's game. Anyone notice that Washington coach Dan Quinn does not have his hat on backwards tonight? As he usually does.

    Thought was an omen of sorts.

    Back when Andy Dalton was with the Bengals and the whole RedRifle thing was heating up he was dubbed the Red Ryder BB Gun.

    I was really impressed with the Bears last night. while Caleb seems a bit on the "dainty" side to me, he is absolutely dynamic. fun to watch.

    Incredibly fun watch. LMAO at the rodeo clown defense they played at the end of the first half. Fun. Or the necessity of a 58 yard kick to seal the victory because Caleb got sacked. Fun. Glad they won. Being a true Bears fan means knowing that every game is a test of emotional stability. We typically fail. It’s good to have a dainty winning QB, though. Thanks. ☺️

    couple of bold predictions

    the stats don't necessarily bear this out, but JJ McCarthy will be a starting quarterback in the NFL. idk for who, but he will be. the kid has miraculously reinvented himself since changing jerseys. two weeks in a row i've seen him regularly making throws he had never made before. the Giants don't win that game yesterday if they had started the Minnesota JJ, period. it leads me to believe that John Harbaugh is legitimately a great coach.

    this one i'm very confident in. the Minnesota Vikings are about to start losing football games. to this point their good-enough-to-win-a-Super-Bowl defense has successfully stuck its finger in the dike. but it's about to break. their offense under Kyler has had 6 weeks to show progression, and it's still doing just enough to win games. just enough is no longer going to be good enough, especially when you consider that they have the roughest strength of schedule from here on out. and it all starts in Detroit next week. if the Vikes win that game, i'll be the first to admit i did not see that coming and i will view them differently than i do now.

    So nice to not just see the Chiefs lose but to see them get embarrassed on National TV. Humility is good for the soul and the loss, though it stings, might actually help them.

    Note to @galaxy27: Jim Harbaugh and JJ McCarthy have already proven to us who they really are. It might take a while but the HC will make bonehead decisions that hurt the team and the QB will rise to his true level of suck-ness. Sadly, that is the truth of them both. I believe people can change, just not these two.

    you have the wrong brother, brother. one can't win a game, the other is turning a new team around without its starting QB and is inserting a guy that up until this point sucked.

  • Options
    MaywoodMaywood Posts: 4,674 ✭✭✭✭✭

    But they will both do what they do, especially Harbaugh. With the Ravens his specialty grew to become going for the two points and a win instead of the tie and OT. It got to the point where that choice actually kept them out of the playoffs one season. I respect Harbaugh for his ability as a Coach but he can’t seem to overcome the other negative aspects of his personality. His brother is even worse so maybe it’s a family thing.

    Dan Campbell at Detroit seems to drive @perkdog crazy with the HC decisions he makes but Harbaugh was doing the same thing before Campbell was even there.

    coach long enough and you're bound to make questionable decisions. but his body of work speaks volumes:

    12 playoff appearances
    4 AFC Championship games
    1 ring

    and now he's showing off his prowess with a starting QB-less team that is looking up at no one in the NFC East

    i mean, being a Browns fan one would think you'd be willing to walk over a hot coals for a coach like that

    as it currently stands, John and Jim shouldn't even be in the same sentence, unless you're talking about the Harbaugh family

    Jim supposedly has one of the best QBs in the league, supposedly one of the most brilliant minds as an OC, yet they can't even win a game

    take the next step and look at the Chargers' roster and try to find the talent that brother Jim has assembled

    now that's a coach worthy of a good stoning

    they really got exposed as far as how important just one player is to their entire offense. when Walker got neutralized last night, the offense ground to a hault. if Andy either runs the wheels off him or he gets injured, it will be a very long season for KC.

    In the next four games, if the Vikings are still unbeaten, then we have something special.

    My guess: will be lucky to win one game.

    i think the Vikings are one guy away from taking the leap they obviously need in order to not waste that championship defense of theirs

    Jonathan Taylor

    if they get him, watch out. it'll galvanize the O and open things up for Murray (and the entire unit) to look more formidable in every aspect on that side of the ball

    if i'm the Vikes GM, i'm emptying the tank for that dude

    I've never been a Harrison Butker fan, and can't wait for him to be jettisoned.

    I have to laugh out loud, though, that the Chiefs decide to sign Justin Tucker to the practice squad. C'mon!... I hope Kelce would just beat both their asses, throw them out the door, and we find a third kicker somewhere else.

    Good early signs for Buffalo. Allen personally breaks Jim Kelly's TD record with a TD run. Kicker hits the goal post, ball goes in anyway. Lamar knocked out on first play. All within first half hour. Going Bills way.
    Now Huntley hurt?

    Missing that extra point at the end of regulation drove me to distraction, however.

    Years ago, someone posted a picture of a 19th century wagon train to depict the last time the Cowboys won a Super Bowl. Given the looks of this team, the wait is going to be a bit longer.

    I think Jackson is washed up. He’s getting hurt constantly. Perhaps it’s time for Jackson to go to the Jets. They have history of picking old quarterbacks.
