Official 2019-2020 NFL Football Thread

That was hilarious. Belichick couldn't resist smiling. The delay of game was standard but then Belichick had a guy commit a false start. LOL

"Go out there and false start." "What coach?" "False start. Do it." "OK, coach".

Belichick NEVER stops pushing for yards and points. GOAT

This is true. But that is not what those two penalties were about. He was exploiting an existing rule where the clock does not stop. He was able to run 2 minutes off the clock at end of game without having to do a thing. Yep he a smart man for many reasons.

What's going on in the NFL today? Players getting traded right and left. The rich get richer.

Trade deadline is the 29th. This is the early batch of moves

 

[Flyn]

I think there are some, as yet undisclosed, injuries we'll see this week, too.

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

Sooo Brady and his trainer are both selling their boston homes...what's up with that? You think he's making a switch after this year?

 

[Gone_2022]

Could never see him playing anywhere else especially given his age, if anything it will be retirement.

A lot of speculation this will be his final season. My opinion is if they go undefeated and win the super bowl it’s for sure over he will retire

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

I just looked at their schedule. Where can I bet on them going undefeated this year...the only challenges they have are the chiefs (not much of a challenge ATM) and maybe the bills

 

[Gone_2022]

I think the ravens may be a decent game. Bills and Chiefs should also be good. Other than that I don’t see anything but wins.

I saw a stat the other day that said if the Patriots Offense never even took the field once this year their record would be 3-3-1

That’s crazy

Mahomes is back at practice today ?!?!?!?

Theyre going to run the poor kid into the ground.

 

[Gone_2022]

He is their entire team so they are freaking out right now. That’s the issue with teams like them and the packers. Everything is put into one person, remove them from the equation and everything falls apart.

I agree though they are going to run him into the ground.

 

[Flyn]

Slap a brace on and toss him back in.

 

[cacicgtp7]

Can't believe Brees is back practicing and might suit up this week. Seems crazy they would pull Bridgewater playing so well to rush Brees back. Hope he's 100% if that's the case.

Yeah, especially with next week being a bye for them. If I were Sean Peyton I would be telling him that he's not starting till after the bye week. Zero reason to toss him in now even if he's feeling better.

Wait so franchise QB's mean the franchise is in their hands?

 

[Flyn]

If Brees practices (limited) this week, the Cardinals will have to scheme for him. Then he sits and Bridgewater starts 1 more week.

 

[10sec]

They might have him coming in to get some film to study for the bye week but most likely just making the other team practice for both QB's to get that little bit of an edge.

 

[cacicgtp7]

Josh Gordon on IR and done for the year.

 

[Flyn]

Saw that coming when they traded for Sanu.

Sanu may have a big PPR year. He'll get the short, over the middle throws that Gronk used to get. Dorsett will get the outside, Gordon role. They will probably split the end zone work.

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

It'll be really sad if they beat up mahomes to the point that he can't play the same. That walrus of a coach doesn't seem very bright.

 

[Flyn]

Andy Reid is a football genius. His coaching tree has populated most of the up and coming teams in the NFL.

 

[Flyn]

Kenyan Drake traded to the Cardinals.

5 facts:

1. David Johnson & Chase Edmunds must be more hurt than we thought.
2. Miami just got a bit worse if that is possible.
3. Drake is probably a happy man getting out of there.
4. Trade is for a 6th up to a 5th round draft pick.
5. Drake will be a free agent after this year unless he signs a new contract with Arizona.

 

[cacicgtp7]

6th fact:

6. Once Edmunds and Johnson are healthy drake will be a healthy scratch each week.


I still can't believe Rodgers is being talked about for the MVP. The majority of his TD passes have been dump offs to the RB - don't get me wrong he made a couple of gems last night. But overall, he's not "carrying" the Packers and the most valuable player in the league.

 

[FESTER665]

Doesnt matter how they come, hes thrown 16 TD's and had 2 INT's, and since the slow start has looked great going into a year with a new offense.

If he continues putting up the numbers of the past 3 weeks because they're grasping more and more of the offense he should absolutely be in the MVP discussion.

 

[FESTER665]

Flacco came out yesterday against the coaches play calling saying they're playing it way too safe....

Today it was announced he has a hurt back and wont be starting Sunday.

 

[Flyn]

I thought he was going pretty far by criticizing Elway and Fangio publicly. Let's see if he starts another game for Denver.
