NFL Week 12 Takeaway.
I ponder Briefly In The Waning Hours Of Monday Evening Whether I Should Wait Until The End Of Monday Night Football’s Conclusion Before Tying Together All My Weekend’s Writing. The Heavier Slate Of Thursday Night Gave Me A Larger Spread Out On My Release Schedule Thanks To The Lighter Sunday Evening. I Had A Extra Wind in Me, And A Colts Steelers Game Seemed Bearable, But They didn't Ring My Bell Enough. The Eagles Gave The Most Inspiring Rushing Performance of The Weekend, And Josh Jacobs Could Come In A Close Second. I didn’t Need More Doses Of Rushing Attempts From Jonathan Taylor and Najee Harris.
The NFL Beckoned Me With "One Score Game Alert," But I Wouldn't. Still, The Steelers have been Playing Competitive Football These Past Two Weeks. Maybe The Steelers Have Played Competetive Football All Season, Unbeknownst To Me Because Would I Watch. On That Tip.
I Believe The Colts Can Ride Into The Off-season On What's Left Of Matt Ryan. Continue To Parade the Jovial, Agreeable Nature Of Head Coach Jeff Saturday, But That Rolls Over A lot Of Work To check Off, A Lot Of Can Of Worms To Open. If Jim Irsay Sends GM Chris Ballard To Behind Frank Reich, Where Does Indy Go From there?
Bears Vs. Jets
All Week The Pre-Game Verbiage For The Bears Game Set A Threshold Ladder For Pain And Pain Tolerance. Justin Fields Rushing Attempts Slow Down Against The Falcon But The Damage Already Accumulated, Like Running A Cryptocurrency Company On Untested Strategy But Only Recognizing You BankRupt After Lay-off. Team Officials, Coach Even Field's Himself Dub The AC Joint Injury Pain Threshold At "Pretty High," "Tested," "Day-To-Day." Nobody Would Fields's Status Remain A Mystery To Most Of The Bear's Locker Room Until The "Go Time" Moments Of Sundays. Field Took His Usual Indifference Demeanor To The Podium To Address The media. Shoulders Sloth, An Air Of Inscrutability Almost Impossible To Read. Ultimately The Bears Plug Trevor Semian To Start Against One Of The Career Backups Former Teams, The Jets, A Team Dealing With Their Injured Quarterback In A; An Injured Ego. Zach Wilson Hits The Bench Zion Comes Mike White To Lead The Jets Offense To A Place Over 200 Yards And A Win. Be Sure To Know Mr. White Has to Achieve Between These Lines Before And These Days. He Needs Only To Not Let The Defense Down. Quarterbacks Are Like Fingerprints; no Two Are The Same, So Plugging In A New One Doesn't Happen Seamlessly. Backups Are Usually Limited In Some Capacity, or they would take a starter. The Offensive Coordinator Has An install for The Backups Specific Strengths(Arm Talent, Accuracy, Decision Making) Whiles Glossing Over Whatever Limitations Persist. You Can Think Of the Team putting in Quarterback 2 As Patch Work.
After The Briefest Starting Nod Of The Season, Trevor Semian Get Injured. Nathan Peterman Took Over As The Bears Starter, Only Fresh From The Practice Squad 24 Ago, To Face The Jets Top Ten Defense. Backups Are Always One Play Away, But This Gies Beyond The Call Of Duty. Mike White Made Quick Of The Hypothetical Check Marks.
By The End Of The 2nd Quarter, He Approached 200 Yards. White Took Over Wilson Last Season. He Took The Brief Window To Make His Moment. He Threw For 400 Yards Passing And Earn The jets Their Biggest Win Last.
With Zach Wilson's Ego wounded. Que In The Tag Line, "Run That Back Turbo." With Shards Of Ice Cold Rain Pelting Down, The Jets White Only React By Pouring On Points. Hey Zach, That's How You Do this Quarterbacking Thing. The Jets looked Like A Different Team. Less Blue And More Green. Mike White Look To Garret Wilson And Elijah Moore, Two Of The More Vocally Despondent Jets Players Over The Zach Wilson Run. Garrett Wilson Had Trouble Getting Open against New England and Found The Bears Defenders More Open, More Inviting. Wilson Generates A 101.8 Passing Rating When Targeted. Garrett Wilson Caught Five Passes For 95 Yards On 11.9 Per Catch And Two Touchdowns. Quick Slants Allow Him To catch A Turned Field Like The Flash. One Out Cut, And Everybody Moves And Clears Out.
The Bears' Defense Doesn't offer The Strongest Litmus For Offense, A New Starting Quarterback Or otherwise.
Before They Traded Away A Lump Sum Of Their Talent, Chicago Gave Little Resistance To Teams Willing To Execute With Any Level Of Effectiveness. Mike White Broke Into The Role As The Starter At The Right Time. The Passes Lined Up Right. He Even Found Elijah More Twice, Once For a touchdown On A Nice Out Route Near The Endzone. White Finished With 315 Yards, 22/28, And A Passer Rating Of 149.3. The Jets Produced 466 Yards Of Offense First Time This Season Over 400. I Believe It's Their First Over 400 Since Mike White's Last Start. Wire Won AFC Player Of The Week Last Time, He Should See The Reward Again. Is White Better Than Zach Wilson? Who Knows How White Would Have Responded to Facing New England's Defense. You Can Carve A Deep Fissure Between the Differences In New Englands Defense And Chicago's Defense.
Commanders Vs. Falcons
The Commanders Got A Big Win Over The Falcons. They Remain One Of The Hottest Teams In Football Only One Loss Now Since Starting 2-4. They Took Down The Falcons In An Interesting Matchup Of Teams With Equal Pedigree. Two Fun Excitable Quarterbacks Both With Penchant For Imploding On Their Respective Teams. Scott Turner continues to roll with Taylor Heinicke In Empty Formation, And He Delivers Some Mixed Results. Eye Clinching Escapability Tether To Head Scratching Decisions. Heinicke completed 14/23 passes for 138 yards, two touchdowns, an interception, And a Tepid Passer Rating of 88.7. Carson Wentz Still Leads The Team In Passing Yardage Despite Last Playing almost six Games Ago. Heinicke Plays Winning Ball, But He'll Have To Show More "Command" If He Hopes To Keep 29 Million Dollar Quarterback Archetype Carson Wentz On The Sideline.
The Commanders Rushing Game doesn't Have The Reputation Of The Falcon's efficiency Wise. They Came In Averaging Around 3.8 On heavy Hits And Small Dosages. They're Almost Dead Last on Average Per Carry But Top Three In Attempts. The Commanders Have Taken Down Team Like Hunters, And Scientist Use Tranquilizer To Bring Down Elephants. Carry But A hulk-Ish game from Brian Robinson Change That Narrative With 18 Carries For 105 yards on 5.8 Per Carry. He Showed Incredible Patience And Elusiveness. Waiting For Blocks To Form, Not Diving In The Scum For Small Picking. Instead, Robinson Forced Miss Tackles And Collect Extra Yard After Contact. On The Defensive End, Commander D Line Continues To Put Their Hands On Wins. The Pressure Giants, Daron Payne, Montez Sweat, And Jonathan Allen, didn't Force Mariota To Scramble Too Much. The Commanders Got Muscle Down On The Ground For 167 Yards.
Arthur Smith Called A Few Design Runs, 8.2 A Run. Mariota Dropped back, picked his Spots, And Got 2.8 Secs To Read The Routes. Defensive Tackle Daron Payne Batted One Of Mariota's Passes At The Goal. If You've Never Seen A Season of HAng In Stasis, The Falcons Watched.
The Commanders Secondary That Came Into The Game With A Paltry Six(6) Interceptions Came Up With A Goal Line Stand. Halting An Otherwise Impressive Potential Game Winning Drive. The Commanders Are Still Step Outside Of The Playoffs, And They Need Help From Themselves. Back To Backs Against The Giants, The Giants Who Have Lost Two In A Row Now. The Commanders Take A Trip Out To San Fransisco To Face A Formidable Niners Who Could Very Well Look To Add Their 8 Win In A Row By Week 17. The Commanders at Least Need Two Wins Before They Face Cleveland.
I Dont Know About You, But I will need my notepad, An Excel Sheet, Or A Mind Map To Keep Track Of All Of These Quarterback Changes. Time Won't Wait For The NFL To Accept Anew Transition At The Position. Every So Generation, There Comes The Season Of Change. I Think Greater Forces are Imposing Their Will On the NFL Team Who Systemically Refuse To Let Go Of Their Old Guard Or Their Keep Sake Toys.
The Packers Should Have Hit Go On The Jordan Love Some Weeks Back: Like Three Games Ago. Aaron Rodgers Said The Pack We're Back After A Big Win Against The Cowboys. Hopeful, Optimistic Yes, But Pragmatics Know That One Win Doesn't Make A Good Season Or Set A Turn Around In Motion. That Optimism Fueled Rodgers's Determination To Play Through Pain, working The Field For Undetermined weeks with a broken right thumb. The Packers Should Have Switch Off "win now" Mode After The Giants Lost.
The Packers Offensive Line in Constant Flux. The Receiving Core Of Incubating Or Passing Their Prime Relics Like A Power Ranger Crossover Of Old And New Members. Romeo Doubs Had Some Brief Moments Earlier, and Christian Watson Has started To Bud As Well. He Proved His Speed Robert Tonyan At Tight Can Also Ball But Little Else About This Team Works. The Packers Still Have Love Under Contract For Two More Years After This Season, Thank To Taking Him In The First Round Two Years Ago. In Hindsight, Wide Receivers Gabe Davis, Tee Higgins, And Brandon Aiyuk All Look Good In That Spot. Except now the packers have the chance To Usher In A New Era As Their Quarterback and Wide Receivers Blossom Hand In Hand. Love And Watson, The New Adam And Rodgers, The New Favre And Driver. Watson Took A Short Pass From Love To House For 63 Yards After The Packers Offense Tailed Off And Needed Spark. Jordan Love Finished With A 146.8 Passer Rating On Nine(9) 12.6 A Pass.
I Didn't Love Jalen Hurts As A Passer This Game. Of Course, Hurts Didn't Need The Passing Attack To Put The Packers Out Of Commission.
When The Ground Game Kept The Chain Moving, The Packers Defense was Either On The Heels Or Flying Out Of Position. All Season The Packers Focused Their Energy On Creating Pressure On Passers Because Who Would Consistently Generate Offense Running The Ball Down Hill. The Eagles Offense Line Cleared The Trail, But The Packers Just Had No Run Stopping. Landon Dickerson and Lane Johnson Acted Like A Demolition Crew.
The Packer Came In Too Light Up And Too Heavy On nickel and Dime On The Back. The Packers Played Their Assignments To stop The Pass Top Tier. Hurts Fray away From The Middle. The Packers Played a lot of Zone, Which Explains Why No One Had Clear Run Fits.
Hurt Played With Some Anxiety, Getting Out In Rushing Lanes Like Someone Trying To Beat Traffic In LA. The Packers Gave Him Something To Think About In Coverage, And Hurts Used Instinct Instead Of Deliberation. Accord To Next Gen Stats;
"Jalen Hurts set career-highs in rushing yards both on scrambles (88) and designed runs (70) in Week 12." To This Point, In The Season, The Eagles Hadn't Shown Much Of A. ran the Game. Last Season The Barreled Into The Playoffs Wit my One Of The Best Rushing Attacks in Football. The Offense Simmered Down Once AJ Brown Arrived And Nick Siriani Turned The Volume Up On Passing Attack. Boston Scott Returns Kicks These Days, And Myles Mostly Pushes The Pile On Jalen Hurts Quarterback Sneaks. Against The Packers, The Eagles Just Spammed The Run. The Run Designs Weren't Picturesque. The Yardages Weren't All Positive yardage but 7.4 A Tout On Their Way to 363 rush yards. Hurts an Average of 9.4 A Run. Usually, I'm A Stiff Against Him Leaning Into His Strength, But 310 yards Total Lifts Hurt MVP Consideration Above Tua, In My Opinion.
Browns Vs. Bucs.
"[I'm] Here to do my job, do the best I can, lead, be the same guy, be a good teammate, and then everything else will take care of itself." Jacoby Brissett Told The Media Back In March When The Browns First Inked Him To A What Essentially Boil Down To An Insurance Deal. He'd Stand In Stead and Backup As The Back To The Then "Tainted," Contemptible, Even(At The Moment) Signing of Deshaun Watson. Quarterbacks Play To Earn Their Team Wins. Winning, It's Everything That Matters In Football, And As Such, Everybody Wants to Win, And The Way To Win Follows Adherents To Process. What's That Process? Nothing Formulaic Or Empirical; You Just Have To Know That Process Exists and Works As You do, Like an operating system.
I Dont Know If anyone HAs Made A List of The Things That Take Care Of themselves, I’m Sure Winning Wins Don't Fall Into The Category Of Things Taht "Take Care Of Itself" . Wins As Line Data Point Aren't A Quarterback Stat Exclusively. Instead, Quarterback Play Tethers In Itself Matters Crucial To Playing Winning Ball. Possession and Ball Protection Don't Take Off "Itself." When You're Making Poor Decisions, Albeit For The Sake Of Trying To Make Something, You Harm The Cause Of Winning. To His, Credit Brissett has Done His Job, Check Please, To The Best Of His Ability, Check Two.
The Bell Tolls On Brissett's Season He's Registered The Best PFF Grade Of His Career (81.1), Passer Rating(90.7), And The Best Completion Percentage.
Kevin Stefanski Inspired Great Expectations For The Browns Two Season Ago With An Eleven Win Season, A Playoff Berth, And A Coach Of The Year. Those Expectations Have Set The Pace, And The Browns Have to Watch Those Expectations Stream Pass Them. That Expectations Were Set Before Jacoby Arrived Some Eight Months Ago. In Response, The Browns Have Crank Up The Dropbacks and Passing Attempts, 87 Total. Brissett Attempt 41 Passes Against Buffalo, Three Touchdowns On 7.9 Per Game...
"I am doing my job, but I wish we won more games."
More Wins This Season, Sounds Great. More Third Down Conversions, And A Big 4 And 1 Sneak To Keep The Drive going Against the Bills Sounds Nice. For Now, The Browns Are Out Of The Playoff Picture. Brissett Will Follow Behind The Team He Leads.
He'll Have A Paycheck To Collect And Potentially Another Role At A Birds' Eye View Of A Great Quarterback. The Guy Coming In To Takeover For Jacoby Will Make $250 Million COMPARED to $4.65 million For One Year. Appropriate For A Most Likely Still Learning A New Offense Before He's Off To Learn Another Offense; Build a Bond With Another Group Of Offensive Skill Players.
"It's been fun working with Jacoby this year." That's Amari Cooper's Equivalent To Saying, "it's Not You; it's Me." What's a Swan Song Going To Look Like From Jacoby Against The Buccaneers Team Rolling At 5-5 Coming off A Bye-Week.
I'm Sorry, David Njoku, Justin Jefferson, and Ceedee Lamb Own All Of The rights To The Catch Of The Year Nominations.
Whoever Said The Browns Tight Weren't Helping Brissett Had To Pick Their Jaws Off Of The Floor On That Game Tying Catch, On Fourth Down with the Game On The Line. The Passes The Bucs Wide Receivers Didn't Catch Paid The Most Dividends For The Browns. in Overtime, The Bucs Offense Showed It's Zombie-Ish Ways; Movements Without Life. Why Target Mike Evans Twice, Deep, On A Pair Of Second Downs. He's Your Best Receiver, But Deep Route Havant Served Him Exceptionally Well This Season. Evans Displayed Partiality In Going After And Reaching Out On Those Deep Balls. To His Credit, He Called a Deep Ball Earlier But The Brown's Defensive Backs Continued To Press Him. Evans Gas Meter Kick The Gas Meter Into Action.
Brady's Decision-Making Put The Bucs Defense On Their Heels. Brady Should accept Blame For Letting The Defense Down. Brady Finished 0/5 Targeting That Deep Right Corner. Mike Evans Caught Two Balls All Game On Nine Targets; You Have To Look Elsewhere. Chris Godwin Finished 12/13 For 110, But The Bucs Don't Have anyone Who Can Go Out and Win a Route. The Bucs Have No One Who Can Line Up And Just "Gangster" A Route Combination. Someone Wont Allow The Defense To Determine The Outcome Of A Play Call, Instead They Put The Defense In The Bag and Walkoff Wth A Completion. You Can't Have A Eight Play Drive Generate Just 18 Yards and Expect To Win Versus Anybody. You Can't Go Scoreless For a quarter And a Half After Mid away Through The 3rd And Expect To Win. Neither Team Scored again Until The Browns Tied The Game, So The Defense Held Up Their End Of The Bargain. Brissett's Wishes Came Through With The Win, Possibly His Last In A Browns's Uni.
Today The Browns had Amari Cooper, Who The Bucs Held In Check But Allowed To Sneak Out When The Browns Needed Him On A Big Completion. Amari Did Not Allow The Physical Play Of Carlton Davis To Deter Him But Rather Turning It On Davis Like a Mirror Force; 46 Of His 92 Came On That One Play. The Browns' Offensive Playmaker Came Out. Nick Chubb Squeeze Through A Sea Of Bodies For A Final Touchdown. The Browns Had No Trouble Getting Their Ground Game Rolling 5.6–Better Than What The Bucs Achieved Passing— Per Carry, Lead By Chubb, Who Finished With 116 Yards.
The Bucs Playoff Bid Remains Untethered. The Browns Needed Two, Maybe Three(If You Count The Myles Garret Sack) Splash Plays To Win In The End.
The Falcons lost To The Commanders. The Bucs Aren't A Force To Fear Come The Playoffs, But I'd Shy Away From Underestimating Them. The Bucs Will Most Likely Get The Fourth and face The First Team Out In The NFC East, Most Likely The Cowboys. Six Weeks, Parity Can Change The Game.
Ravens Vs. Jaguars
"We Are What We Repeatedly Do" —Aristotle.
The Ravens Are That Manic Depressive Team That Keep Themselves Up Late At Night Wondering Why They Are What They Do. Sabotage Themselves. The Ravens Blew The Mightiest Lead This Season Against The Dolphins, Then Turned Around. It Allowed Doug Pederson To Harbaugh Jon Harbaugh By Acing A Two-Point Conversion. After scavenging For Points Against The Suddenly Surging Panthers, The Picked Up Another Ugly Win Late. This Lost To The Jags Always Looked Like A Lost in A Trap Game. The Held a Brief Two-Point Lead Expanded To Nine That Creates Space Between The Jags.
Then One Fumble Gave The Jags The Third Chance, And They Wouldn't Leave Without One. Ravens Still Out Played The Jags In Yardage,415-332 In Total Yards, Totals First Downs And The Crushed The Jags On The Ground, 162-28. The Ravens Lost In a Similar Fashion To The Giants several Weeks Back out, Playing The Giants Straight Through The Game, Nearly Doubling New York In Yardage But Losing The Turnover Battle. The Ravens Defense Caged The Jaguars Against A 4-13 On Third Down.
The Lord Drops The Ravens To 7-4; they Still Clear Command Of The AFC North And A Playoff Spot, But They've Blown Odds Before. Lamar Jackson hasn't Played Himself Out Of A Contract With This One.
Not With All The Upheaval Surrounding The Team On The Outside. the Disorientating Mary Go Round At Quarterback This Season. He's Not The Flash In Pan Like His MVP season. Neither Has He Evolved InThe Pure Progression Passer With a Dangerous Scramble Element By He Register Over 300 Yards Total On The Ground And Through The Air(254 Passing /89 Yards Rushing). The Ravens Offense Ran Through Four (4) Field Goals Before Their First Touchdown Near The End Of The Third Quarter And Tacking On Another In The Fourth. Press Against Their Own Goal With The Jags Bearing Down On Them, The Ram The Ball To Get More room To Wheel And Deal. Only For The Hungry Jags Defenders To Force A Fumble. The Defense Left The Rest Of The Game To Trevor Lawrence's Arm. Lawrence Finished 29 Of 37 For 321 Yards. If anything, The Ravens Secondary Let The Team Down. Lamar Didn't Surrender The Game Winning Seal Two Point Conversion of The Touchdown On The Play Prior. Lamar Didn't Drop Interceptions. Lamar Didn't Blow Assignments.
The Ravens Are Still In The Driver's Seat In Their Division.
Texans Vs. Dolphins
The Texans Benched Week One Starter Davis Mills This Week Because Benching Are NFL Teams Only Weapon, Only Standard Response To The Repulsive Production. Mills started Eleven(11)Games This Season After Starting Ten(10) A Year Ago. He's Thrown For Over 2664 Yards But Had His Lowest Passer Rating Of The Season At 46.2.
The Texans Haven't Looked Good Since Tying With the Colts in Week 1.
Davis Mills Hasn't Generated A Semblance of Positive Play This Season To Mend With What He Achieve that Prove His Long Term Value. Instead, The 1-8-1 Texans Start Looking To the Future.
The Texans Instead Start Kyle Allen Of Panthers' Fame, And This Means Two Things: This Start Makes Allen The Third Former Panthers To Come Off Sideline And Start; Teddy Bridgewater And Sam Darnold are Still In Carolina. All Of These Benching And Shuffle Generate Market Instability. A lot Of Entry Level Starters will Hit The Market Next Year. How Much Guaranteed Money Lamar Jackson Demand Now That The Quarterback Market Continues To Swing Widely Away From Equilibrium? You Know Who won't Hit The Market And Might Just Tumble Into A Big "Pay Day," Tua. We Can Officially Start Calling Him By One Name Now, Like Seal, Or Einstein.
The Dolphins Put This "W" Away Early. The Texans Are Not zingy. The Worse Team In The League Going Away, The Dolphins, Have A "Stupid" Tough Schedule To Fight. The Defense Forced Kyle And The Houston Offense Into Two Turnovers.
Going Up as Many 30-0 Points At One Point Knowing The Assignment. The Offense Chipped In 23 Points On Touchdowns and Field Goals, And The Defense Took The Difference On An interception during The First Half Touchdown. Tua Gave Himself An Opportunity At Taking A Position On The Sideline. He Lit Up The Texans Defense like Fireworks In The Second Half. The Dolphins are Undefeated With Tua This Season,8-0.
Tennesse Vs. Bengals
The First Revenge Game In Some Weeks To Not Feature The Commanders, The Titans Vs. Bengals Face Off. Once Upon a, Both Teams Hit Their Surge In The AFC, And The Resulted in
collision Course Of Two Teams With To Prove; They Belong In The Super Bowl Hunt.
"We're here to make some noise, and teams are going to have to pay attention to us," Joe Burrow Told ESPN After The Win. Nobody Believed The Bengals Had Moxie To Challenge The Best Teams In The AFC. The Titans Touted The loss As a Failure On Their Part To Execute, And The Bengals Stubbornness, Resiliencies; Both played A Part...
What Emerged From The Chaos, A Titans Team Shattered, And The Legend Of The Giant Slaying Bengals.
I Can't Imagine The Titan's Player Who Is Still On The Roster Doesn't Still Feel The Sting From The Bengals Eliminating The Number Seed Tennessee From The Playoffs In The Divisional Round. "I'll probably play it back in my mind every day until we play again," Derrick Henry said. And Ryan Tannehill Echoed A Similar Sentiment.
The Bengals Rising From A Two Team To AFC North Champs, Hit The League Like A Left Hook From Tyson, Knocking The Titans Struck Like A Combo. The Titans Couldn't Wait To Get Back On The Field. Neither Teams Are Where They Left Each Other. The Titans Are peeking(Peaking) Around The Corner As A contender. With The AFC South Collected, Can The Chiefs Be Usurp For Another Year For The AFC Top Spot. Depending On Opinion, The Bengals Are Right Where You Thought They'd Come Up At Or A Disappointment. The Titans No Longer Have Star Wide Out AJ Brown, Who Had A "monster game" with Five Catches for 142 yards. If Only Ryan Had to Find More Often. Instead, the Titans Quarterback Threw Three Interceptions In A Game Decided By Three Points.
The Bengals have won four of their last five games, None Of Which Are Games Against a Team Projected To Go To The Playoffs. Matter Of Fact, The One Lost Came Against The Browns By 19 Points. The Competitive Game The Bengals Won Against The Dolphins You Know That Famous Thursday Night Game. The Titans Are Locked In With The Dolphins, Bills, And Ravens, All Chasing The Chiefs For A Shot At Home field. The Stay Hot With The Clutch Win. The Titan's Offense Tied The Game 13-13 Late In Third Quarter. Coming Into The Game With One Of The Best Red-zone Offense The Titans Just Fumbled And Fumbled Into Touchdowns, 0-3. The Bengals Defense Forced, The Titans, To Settle For Field Goals Twice In Red Zone(Tennessee's Kicker Missed Another Shot). The Bengals Defense Force The Titans Away From Their Strength, Derrick Henry.
Henry's Run Of Running Over The League Ended Like Crime Spray, Just 39 Yards As The Bengals' Defenders Just Swarmed Down On Him with Every Touch Of The Ball. Henry Honestly Looked Like Someone Dodging Bees As He Shaking And Dancing To Escape Defenders. The Bengals Didn't Stack The Box; They Just Stayed Active On. The Titan's Defense Restricted The Bengals To 5-13 On Third Down. The Bengals Three-Headed Monster Of Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins, And Joe Mixon Damaged Perrine Proved Too Much In The End. The Bengals Have a Ridiculously Tough Schedule In Front Of Them. Another Rematch/Revenge Game With The High Powered Chiefs. The Deshaun Watson Bolstered, "Super Charged" Browns. The Here and There Bucs.
Post Script:
In All My Years As A Football "Observer," I Don't Think I've Ever Witnessed This Much Irregularity in Opinion Of Quarterback Play And Sentiment. I'm Not Speaking, Or The Relative Dip In Production A-lot Of Flux Strangely Exists At The Position. Backups Are Jockeying For Space And Completing Removing Week 1 Starters Out Of Position. Taylor Heinicke Carson Wentz Out Of A Starting Spot For The Second Time For The Former Number Overall Pick. Both Guys Are Free Agents Next, And One Will Mostly Start Week 1 Again Somewhere.
Both New York Teams(Giants And Jets) Have Made Surprise Turnarounds This Season. Still, Their Quarterback Situations Continue To Seep In "Malaise" of Poor And Sometimes—Like Sunday Past—Ineffective Performances. The Panthers Are About To Start Their Third Quarterback This Season. After Recovering From Injury, Sam Darnold Prepared To Take Over The Offense At Another Chance To Possibly Carol A Three Game Run Into Something Glorious.
The Panthers Traded Draft Capital To Bring In Baker Mayfield To Replace Darnold Only A Few Months Ago. Mayfield Hasn't Shown He Deserves The Spot, But I Disagree With Kicking Him When He's Down. He's Not Trying To Fail The Team Or Fail Himself, The Situation Bites In Carolina. PJ Walker Winning A Game Against The Bucs Didn't Help Mayfield's Cause.
Elsewhere Injuries Continue To Shell Shocked Two Of The NFC West. Mathew Stafford After Entering The Season Defiantly Battling Reports Of Elbow Injury, he Suffered Two Concussions In Back To Back Games.
Will The Jets Bench Zach Wilson? I Didn't Think They Should, But They Went Forward. I Can't Fault Zach Wilson For Assumed Insubordination By "refusing to assume any blame" For The Offensive No Show Against The Patriots. I Don't Think Zach Wilson "Sucks," He's Uber Talented. He Just Doesn't Make The Plays On A Down To Down Basis When the Jets Needed Him. Who Remembers When Tua Looked averaged?.
Maybe Wilson Wouldn't Need To Fit The Ball Into Dangerous Windows If Receivers Would Win Routes Sooner Instead Of Cutting Up At The line, Just Get Off Of Press. The Protection Scheme Needs An Autocorrect PFF Ranked The Jets Unit 28th In The League. Mike Lafleur could design a better offense. Team Ate Divisions Of Labor And Thus Forth A Division Of Blame. Robert Salah Vowed To Evaluate Everything, And The Change Started At Quarterback.
It, Football, After All, Just Encompasses More Than Just Team Dynamics But An Organization Structure As Well. Even In The Most Successful Season, The Jets Still Find Ways To Create. After All, Zach Wilson Can't Out Talent The "Ghost" That Haunt All Jets quarterbacks Whiles. It's Far Too Early To White this Blot InJets Quarter History. Mike White Steps In Place, and Wilson, He Needs To Play More, For He Has To Sit With Those Spectre.
As A Head Coach, You Can't Come To The Economic Falsity Conclusion That Growth Never Ceases. How Far Can The Giant carry Daniel Jones? The Lamar Jackson Ceased Discussing His Contract Months Earlier. Still, the Guaranteed Figures Continue To Shift Wildly, Given The Wide Range of Outcomes Of What The Market Produces. Lamar Still Has Kyler Murray's Money On The Table Despite The Dubious Nature Of His Dollars Dispute. The weather, On One End Of The Spectrum, affects supplies and direct impacts commodities. A Little economics. The Ravens Are Coming Off Of A Game In Which The Lamar, Not On His Own, Could Only Produce 3 Lbs Of Offense.
Even So, The MVP Look Like It Can Be A Good One. I Know Patrick Mahomes Has A Full Leg Up On The Competition, and His Foot is On The Neck of Most Necks On The Neck Of The Every Tailing. But He Can't Slip. I Know Patrick Mahomes Leads All Quarterback In EPA. Still, Tua's One impressive Performance is Away From Splintering Any Award Assumptions As The Season Turns Over To The Frigid Grip.
