Chicago’s passing yardage was 31st in yards and 31st in net yards per attempt, and they were 25th in passing TDs. The offense was dead last in total yards and 28th in points scored. He didn’t throw many picks, true, but he was sacked an ungodly 68 times (11 percent sack rate, which is just unacceptable for a qb) and fumbled a lot. Unless he starts to to read the field more quickly and get the ball out, he has a pretty grim future in front of him: repeated poundings that increase the risk of injury. Not saying he can’t do it, of course. From the Athletic’s qb tiers analysis: ‘Williams entered the 2024 draft as the consensus No. 1 quarterback. He enters his second season facing questions about his ability to process and play quickly after taking 68 sacks, third-most in NFL history. "I think that will come in time," a GM said. "Maybe it is a little bit like Josh (Allen) early in his career, where he has so much good other stuff that you will live with some negative plays, and as he gets more snaps under his belt, that part will come." Most evaluations reflected some skepticism. "He's got the talent to go up, but in terms of processing ability and getting the ball out of his hands, it was the worst we played against," a defensive coordinator said. "He just holds the ball forever. I'm thinking, 'The ball should go right there! Throw it! Throw it!' And he did not throw it." Voter after voter raised the same concerns. "He is definitely a 1 talent," a head coach said. "I just think it's going to take him longer than Jayden Daniels. He is not playing fast right now. There is something there. His processing to me was alarming watching the tape." Some thought new coach Ben Johnson would have to adjust expectations accordingly. "You saw signs and ability, and I also think you saw signs and ability that scare you," another coach said. "Nervousness in the pocket, inability to see and play on time. But I do not know yet if that was him or coaching. Parts of me wondered if you could get it done with this guy, but it's good enough to make you think you have a chance." Voters aren't necessarily betting against Williams, but they aren't betting on him, either. "He's very talented," another defensive coordinator said. "Ben is more under center. Caleb is more of a gun quarterback. That dynamic is going to be interesting to me. I would not be shocked if the kid plays well. Ben is good. He can adjust. I'm sure they will find a happy medium somewhere."’

Maybe. It also suggests that the Chiefs are pretty much never down by more than one score late in games. So much of this stat depends on point differential going into the 4th. If you’re down 23-10, you’re likely to lose no matter how well you play. 13-10? Not so much.

How about a home? So, these pets are at an animal shelter so they give them a stuffed toy which they quickly chew up because they are frustrated being in a cage, swallow some of the stuffing, have diarrhea hand the workers have to clean all that up?

This right here is juice. Bring back the real hard knocks!!

Is this a subliminal Fire McDermott post?

⬆️

Show us more of the individual position meetings. Show us pregame in the locker room before the preseason game. That's where the juice is. A rather boring episode.

pretty sad episode; hard knocks doesn't seem to work for fans who already know all the back stories; kind of ho hum. I mean, Ray Davis as a kicker is not very interesting, in general

Agree on the receivers. I actually think with Samuel hurt again (and I sensed some real frustration in the way McDermott spoke about him yesterday) there are only three sure things - Shakir, Palmer, Coleman. I'd then price Samuel up as 4th fav and likely to make it but if he can't get back on the field before pre-season game 3 not an absolute slam dunk. Then Moore still I think just ahead of Shavers but that job is more open than I believed going into camp. On SVPG it really depends what is up with him. They described it as a "calf" initially but for him to still be on PUP after 3 weeks of camp with a calf does strike me as a little bit odd. The rules on PUP are if you end up on the reserve/PUP list at cutdowns you are out for the first 4 games. But then you have a five week window (so until week 9) to begin practicing and then after he starts practicing a 3 week window (until week 12) to be added to the active roster. If a player either doesn't hit the 5 week window or the 3 week window they are then done for the year. I don't believe you can be moved directly from PUP to IR. I think you would have to come off PUP to an active roster designation and then be IR'd. And obviously you need the roster spot to do that moving about with.

Someone missed nap time. These posts claiming lots of other things could be done are total bull####. What else could be done that creates a change immediately? Some stupid dem program that costs 300 million and takes 2 generations to demonstrate failure is what these jackoffs have in mind.

Walk away from their first and second offers if it’s the brand new model/year of a vehicle. Wait until the new models are being out on lots. They’re desperate to get rid of the previous year, managed to get a new Suburban 5 years ago doing this; was around 20% off.

Unfortunately, that woman hates everything about America...

I thought everybody eats? Or is that just an offense thing??

Super common. I had it at 49 too. Need to wear lots of sunscreen and get checked. What a Dick thing to say

This is a cop out PT101. There isn’t anyone here who can’t list the top 45. 🙄

The team coming off the bus carrying the Lombardi into an overpacked stadium the morning after.

That's like your opinion man.
