2024 NFL Discussion Thread

The sack Williams took on second down in OT was mind boggling.  He's just really not that good imo.

It is a bit early for all this yet, but, I would like the Packers to finish 6th assuming they can't catch anyone for the division. That would likely assure they avoid going to Philly until the NFCCG. Probably a 2nd round matchup with Detroit, which I prefer to Philly even though I think they'd be unlikely to win either one. I could stomach losing to DET easier than Philly. And I'd rather that team be in a dome in January.

Both 6 and 5 could very well be favorites in their first round road trips.

Nice to see Baker Mayfield rebound his career after getting out of purgat...er Cleveland. 

He's been so good in Tampa, happy for him and the Bucs!

Looks like Minnesota is signing Daniel Jones to their practice squad.

I think as the calendar shifts into December and if health persists, the rest of the NFC playoff field is going to be hoping to find ways to avoid playing the Packers, too.  If Love stays consistent, their offense has balance and talent all over the field - and they're going to be able to score with anyone, anywhere.

I think Jacobs is a lot better suited to cold weather than Jones. I love Jones and I wish we still had him + Jacobs but as a lead back JJ is just better for that style of play.

If you want to beat the kitty's today you need to catch interceptions when they throw it to you.

Matt Eberflus makes Mike McCarthy look like a genius when it comes to challenging plays.

Might as well take a torch and incinerate it. 

I think it is desperation on his part.

I guess he figures they aren’t going to stop them, so his best bet is to hope for crazy things from replay officials.

Unless they get bit by injuries Detroit is going to the Superbowl

Quite possibly, but they aren’t going to see the Chicago Bears in January.

[adambr2]

How has losing Hutchinson not really affected the Lions seemingly at all?

[yourout]

Not sure what's going to make me more sleepy today. This game or the turkey.

[adambr2]

2nd and 23 and the Bears can’t even get to 3rd down defensively. They are dogwater.

They are loaded. And it helps that the Bears aren't even putting up a fight.

[HarryDoyle]

That roughing the passer was pretty weak sauce.

Almost Mahomes level.

Crazy that this would still kind of be a game if the Bears go down and score a TD here, but so far they haven’t even been able to muster a 1st down much less a TD.

[adambr2]

My god, just fake a punt or something, Eberflus. You can’t just give them the ball back after a 3 and out the entire game.

I don't remember the last time I saw an NFL team not get at least one first down in a half.

They may not even get one by penalty

He doesn't play offense

Detroit can be beaten in a shootout-type game.  Their opponent would just need to dominate offensively and their defense would need to pick Goff off a few times.  He gave the Bears a pick on their 1st drive and they dropped it.

I don’t even know why they bother punting. It’s not like they can stop them from getting right back in scoring range anyway.

I mean they look awfully good defensively too, and not just today.
