NFL Week 8: What have we learned

[Bboystyle]

Rams offense fell the fukk off as soon as Kevin O'Connell left

I hope the whole McVay coaching tree crumbles into dust

 

[Professor Emeritus]

When are we going to start asking questions about what this man is doing. My money is on witchcraft

Yeah that's wild but Cam Akers is still the gold standard. Aaron Rogers doesn't ever have to put running back-level pressure on his Achilles tendon, yet Akers was back on the field doing that shyt just 5 months after he ruptured it.

So im theory, Rodgers should be back in a shorter amount of time. He can be better than Zach Wilson if they chopped the leg off

Clearly misdiagnosed

I mean yeah, Akers coming back in 5.5 months would be like Rogers coming back in 4 months. I doubt he can do it because he's older so he recovers slower and what Akers did was obscene, but a QB puts far less explosive pressure on the tendon than a RB does.

Staley likely getting fired after this season, and O'Connell will be mired in a rebuild starting next season. Not looking good. Flip side Zac Taylor is legit in Cincy. Dunno what the Packers do but LaFleur has not looked good this season. Not sure if they want to restart everything though.

I think he might be trying to play in December

Some of us want Kyle and Lynch held accountable.

he gave the keys to our franchise to Mr Irrelevant after 8 games.

Yup 100 factoids let any of GM have an error like this and they wouldnt have a job




This is a franchise killer.

Lance was drafted where he was drafted because when things arent perfect and right, he has the ability to win those games. Jimmy G and now Purdy does not seem to have that knack for winning

Who a player is coming out of college matters because it should inform how you have to use them at the next level to get a proper return on investment.

At the end of the day, Mahomes either needs to get to elevating that room (which is young as fukk) or Andy Reid needs to start calling plays more tailored to their strengths.

The metrics are showing that they are not proving to be who they were in college. Someone having a great catch radius in college still have to prove it when they get into the NFL. What we’re seeing is that these guys have trouble getting away from defenders. Everything can’t be a jumpball.

Weird picture.

A 2nd and a 3rd for Donald. Get it done Jerry

Tell that to Derek fukkin CAC. @Inertia Creeps

Sign Kirk in 2018 and this isn't an issue. All of this is on Lynch. All of it.

Lynch is Kyle's puppet.

Anyway, we made Jimmy G the highest paid QB in the league after 5 games. Gave Brock the keys to our franchise after 8 games.

Just and

Fair enough.

Though Rice has apparently caught nearly 80 percent of the passes thrown to him and -- if you want to believe ESPN's metrics -- grades out really well after the catch.

That WR room is really young, and because a lot of receivers come in like gangbusters these days, rookies and even second year guys don't really have the time to learn at that position. The pressure to produce immediately is real.

Either way, they'll be fine. They need a veteran presence to accelerate the youngsters' learning curve and be relied upon or they just need to give it time until they can find another Tyreek or whatever.

Wanna know what I’ve learned? TMZball level discourse has finally infiltrated the NFL discussion on this site. May God have mercy on our souls now.
