Week #8 General 🏈 Discussion


RaidersAreOne

Recommended Posts

Alright I want one representative from each team to tell me the pertinent injuries on their team we need to be made aware of.Β 

Β 

I'll start.Β 

Seahawks should be getting Dee Eskridge back. This means nothing. DK Metcalf should be considered 50/50 to play, & I don't see him having a huge impact if he does suit up. The team also placed EDGE Uchenna Nwosu on IR, which is a huge loss for this defense.Β

Interesting that there are no teams on a bye this week. But some teams will have byes as late as DecemberΒ 

There don't seem to be any marquee matchups, but a lot of solid games.Β 

-Texans-Panthers (battle of the top two QB's)

-Rams-Cowboys (Rams fighting for a playoff spot, Cowboys are a top 5 NFC team at worst)

-Vikings-Packers (loser will have a tough time making the playoffsΒ 

-Jets-Giants (both teams showing fight with their backup QB's)

-Jaguars-Steelers (Jags found their groove, Steelers find ways to win somehow)

-Eagles-Commanders (Commanders almost upset the Eagles a few weeks ago, can they seal the deal?)

-Browns-Seahawks (stifling defense comes to the PNW against the Seahawks, another team i'd classify as top 5 in the NFC)

-Bengals-49ers (Bengals coming off a bye against a 49ers team reeling with a bad loss, short week & QB injury)

That's 8 solid games for one reason or another, and maybe i'm crazy, i think all 3 primetime games could be competitive/watchable tooΒ

Deebo is 100% out. Brock Purdy is in concussion protocol, Darnold will almost certainly start. Trent could be out & Greenlaw seemed to have his hamsring injury flare up last game so maybe he sits out again.Β 

So, 1 starter definitely out, upto 3 other starters including the QB potentially out too

You are crazy if you think that the bears-chargers game on SNF will be watchable!...The bears are awful to watch...same thing for the raiders on MNF(at Detroit)!

I'd give Purdy a close-to 0% chance of playing with the way the league has been handling concussions this year. I don't know if a single player has returned the week of entering the protocol.Β

Well we're starting PJ Walker again and will be featuring RBs who weren't even on the roster this summer, so Seattle has a very good chance at winning. I'd say they should be favored.

Favored, sure, but I’d argue Walker is an upgrade & Hunt is certainly serviceable (though I expect him to get shutdown against the leagues #1 run defense). Seattles offense has sputtered, so I’m anticipating a close, ugly 16-13 type game.Β

Geno will look so good and then he hits the redzone

I know the popular thing around here is to hate on Watson, but that's 100% not true lol
