I said he was done in Sunday when I saw the injury occur. Sern it motpre than a few times over the years in a non contact turn injury.
it wasn’t a meniscus tear. I’ve had it happen to both of my knees and had surgery.
step 1 someone puts together some new metric but likely writes limitations onnthr metric.
Step 2 someone else sees it and ignores the limitations then uses it blindly.
this is what happened in the housing bubble crash of 2008.
I think NFL+ has an abbreviated game just down to the snaps.
I don’t see nfl network rebroadcasting it. They usually do close games hat weren’t sent to 5%+ audience
yrdterdaybtherr were a bunch of last minute games innthe first slot..
ravens- browns. Browns score under a minute left
Falcons- bucs… Bucs have ball down 5 and fail
titans- colts .. colts had the ball twice with unde 4 left diwn 3,
pats beat jets on TD with 30 sec left
arizona beats Miami on last second FG
GB FG to win in a tie game and 0000 on the clock
then there was the Hail Mary game to close the day games outB
question…if a team does…
score 20+ points
have no turnovers
hold opponents to 250 yds or less
What do you think the record is?
850-2
the “1” is the Jets yesterday
They lost to division rivals. Doesn’t matter team records.
vikings are a good team.
don’t forget they were hit by injuries where they have had games missing 3 of their off weapons injured. Thry lost one for the season.
So Bills fans need to bring them to the Tams game thst is now a likely game Brady does.
Thry win next week they likely have the div clinched before the final 3 against s Pats, Jets, at Pats
We have played 3 div leaders at the time in Bal, hou, and sea…all on the road
charges have played….raiders, panthers, Steelers, chiefs, broncos, cards, saints.
There are other factors like
1. system fit— common with other positions but also applies to QB. Watson might be a good example of system fit.
2. coaching stability. I think mayfield had a different OC each year in Cleveland and it wasn’t because these OCS got HC jobs.
3. the overall team and surrounding talent
4. comparative pressure. If you flipped Stroud and Young between houston ad Carolina how woukd thry be? How much of it is player vs environment thry were in.
Darnold was in nyc which is not a good place to be if you aren’t getting to the playoffs…you add that to other problems onnthe team.
Mayfield being 1st overall was another factor
with all sports you have unintended consequences. Having more equipment might feel you are safer and play more aggressive.
also you have gotten naturally bigger and better athletes playing. Just look at the Oline. It was rare for a lineman to be over 300 pounds, now it’s reversed.
look at ice hockey. Years ago players didn’t play with helmets. Now in younger leagues they wear helmets and full face shields— as a result they have gotten use to not controlling their stick as wells allowing it to hit the head and face mask more.
earlier this week I saw a story of the few that still pla6 without sone sort of visor in the nhl.
concussions have gone up because they are evaluating them where before they didn’t.
Having 2 feet down in the end zone then getting drilled almost immediately and the ball falls out— this is not a catch …consistently not a car Ch.
with Coleman the ball made significant movement before the next foot v came down that resets the completion process
