Road To The Superbowl 2024

[Glenn]

Too early to make any SB predictions, so I'll just state at true fact:

 

Chiefs have the worst 2023 record of any NFL team right now.

 

[gim]

Thought the 49ers and Packers noticeably both looked good today.  Bengals...major flop.

[Glenn]

Seahawks looked pathetic on defense, offense, and special teams. 

 

Geno Smith looked lost, not like a leader a QB has to be in the NFL.  I've never been a Geno fan, and would delighted to see him warm the bench the rest of the season.

1st impressions:

Niners are a serious threat.

Cowboys in a collision course with that threat.

Tua is ball'n.

Pickett ain't the ticket. ?

Welp, Roger's hype train might have derailed before it left the station.

He’s old and frail. They over paid for him and the Jets are nothing but a hype train.

 

I foresee a second consecutive 40-0 drubbing At Met Life Stadium tonight.

I just hope he goes away. 
And it’s not because I’m a Bear fan

Well that was absolutely pathetic!

Robert Saleh on Aaron Rodgers: “It’s not good”

 

Zach Wilson, the second pick in the 2021 draft, was supposed to sit and learn for a year or two. His time on ice didn’t last very long at all.

With Aaron Rodgers believed to have an Achilles tendon injury that coach Robert Saleh called “not good,” Wilson becomes the starter in New York, again. Saleh told reporters after the 19-16 overtime win over the Bills that Wilson will be “the guy” moving forward.

Wilson doesn’t need a mentor. He’ll have Rodgers, who presumably will be around the team and fully engaged in the effort to will the Jets to success. Rodgers can continue his effort to draw greatness out of Wilson.

[Glenn]

Rogers is out for the season with a blown Achilles.  

 

[gim]

Props to the Jets last night for hanging in there.  I thought they were toast when the Bills were up 13-3.

[Glenn]

That return for a TD in OT should have been called back because of tripping.  I don't know how the refs missed it because it was right in front of the runner and blatant.

 

Oh well.  It's not the first time a game was decided by officials, and won't be the last either.

[12poundbass]

@Glenn, as a Bills fan that blown call didn’t even bother me a bit. That game should have never went to OT. The Bills played like crap and deserved to lose. 

[Eric 26]

@12poundbass I hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way to you or anyone else on here but I couldn’t agree more with your comment. Three interceptions is a game changer with the first being somewhat excusable but the next 2 no reason for it. To me and again I’m not trying to pick a fight but it’s no different than Kansas City losing to Detroit and people saying he didn’t have Travis Kelce, but this is just my humble opinion and if anyone feels the need to punch back at me I’m a lifelong Chicago Bears fan.

@Eric 26 none taken. Buffalo sucked and anyone else that says it I’ll agree with them. I call a spade a spade, even if it’s my team. Me calling a spade a spade has also left me sleeping on the couch a few times. ?

Keep the faith brother. 
Been one for 73 yrs, believe it or not it’s been worse. 
 

We’ll get there

@Mike L I remember the Mitch Trubisky debacle all too well ?

Yup. Should have been toast. Hope Josh can find his sea legs again.

I was *almost* in the dog house last night. Was a terrible

2nd half. Shouldn't have had to take it to OT. Josh got into

his Hero Ball mode and blew it. At least he owned it unlike

Zach last year.

 

Hey, it's only game one. Every team is going to to after 

Josh to get him to over commit/go Hero Ball. It is up to him

and his coaches (I miss Daboll's zen influence on him) to

help him succeed. Otherwise this team is not gonna go far.

He needs to cut down on the mistakes. 3 interceptions and a fumble is hard to overcome in the NFL, I don’t care who your playing. He is too reckless with the ball and his body. Sometimes you just have to take a sack or throw it away and punt because it’s better than the alternative.

If only he could play the entire game like he did in the hurry up offense last night we’d be good.

Agree totally. I think Daboll was Josh's Zen Master in that regard.

He was more cautious with the ball, more accurate if I'm not mistaken

under Dabs.

If only..... I'll start to worry after 5 games. Ok, 2. No, 4 games.

Gah. I'm already worried.

[12poundbass]

Well @Glenn, how’s this game going to turn out?

 

The head ref Alex Kemp lives in my town so maybe the Lions will get a few calls to help them out. ?
