vike daddy Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Thursday Jacksonville @ New York Jets ---------------------------------- Saturday Buffalo @ Chicago New Orleans @ Cleveland Houston @ Tennessee Seattle @ Kansas City Cincinnati @ New England Detroit @ Carolina Atlanta @ Baltimore Washington @ San Francisco Philadelphia @ Dallas Las Vegas @ Pittsburgh ----------------------------------- Sunday/Monday Green Bay @ Miami Denver @ Los Angeles Rams Tampa Bay @ Arizona Los Angeles Chargers @ Indianapolis Green Bay @ Miami: let's start off with this gem from @Outpost31, who's really finding his comedic stride: "This will be the game that makes the tank official and gets Barry fired. Given Barry's philosophy of, "Let's do exactly what the team we're playing would love for us to do and hope it confuses them enough they don't believe it," I fully expect us to go single high or cover 0 without moving Jaire and Rasul into man coverage on Waddle/Hill. We'll probably, "Make them beat us by throwing the ball." I wonder what the record for most 60 yard touchdowns in a game is. I think we're going to find out." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But if we beat the Giants and the 49ers lose to Washington, then a win against Green Bay would lock in the #2 seed. Which would allow them to rest anyone who’s banged up and give them an extra week before the playoffs start. Unless Philly loses to Dallas and New Orleans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 do we need to rest players, or get our schemes and execution and coaching going? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 The Jets are imploding. Zach Wilson is done in New York. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against my better judgment - a ratio leaning towards resting players. We have a myriad of old players. This ain't the yutes, anymore. Dalvin's due. I'd hate to lose Darrisaw or Hunter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they’d have trouble trading him. Especially if they aren’t looking for anything significant in terms of compensation. The Jets got multiple 2nd rounders for Darnold, and the Cardinals got a 2nd rounder for Josh Rosen. Zach Wilson still has the physical tools that teams love, and he’s only 23. Some team is going to think they can fix him. Not to mention, this is also a year with a relatively weak QB class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point teams have to learn they can’t fix these guys. At least not for significant draft compensation. They are what they are. Geno Smith is a pretty rare case, but he was a 2nd round pick and Seattle didn’t have to trade for him. Darnold. Rosen. Mayfield. Trubisky. Ponder. Some guys just suck. Their tape doesn’t lie.

vike daddy Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 On Saturday, eight games will be played in cold-as-balls conditions. Via Andrew Siciliano of NFL Network, the folks at AccuWeather have generated so-called “RealFeel” temperatures for Saturday. The coldest it will feel is in Cleveland, for Saints at Browns. Thirty-seven below. THIRTY-SEVEN BELOW! In Chicago, for Bills-Bears, it will feel as if it’s 21 below. In Pittsburgh, for Raiders-Steelers, nineteen below. The Seahawks-Chiefs game in Kansas City will generate a “RealFeel” of twelve below. For Texans-Titans in Nashville, four below. In Boston, for Bengals-Patriots, it will be two below. In Baltimore, it will feel like a balmy eight above for Falcons-Ravens. And in Charlotte, the coldest ever Panthers game will be played, and it will feel like 17 degrees for Lions-Panthers. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/12/23/eight-saturday-nfl-games-will-be-played-in-far-from-ideal-conditions/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrplChilPill Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I think I saw people were asking $4 for seats in Cleveland right now.... That's the selling price! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcblack34 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Frankly, it's dangerous to have prolonged exposure in some of those temps. I know logistics are difficult, but games like the Cleveland one should have been moved. Fans and players are at risk. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrynoid Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Wow, Detroit has given up 240 yards rushing. In the first half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
