[Other Sport] The Official NFL 2021 Thread

75 players in the NFL now tested positive for covid, and the Ravens game has been postponed on Sunday already I believe....

Not good.

Nothing to see here.

Just a 45 point second quarter.

The Carebears has played near perfect football (just one snaffoo).
The Packers have stuttered and spluttered all game so far.

Thanks to a late FG the Bears still only lead by 6.


"I still own you" seems to be in play.

I have a significant birthday this weekend and was planning to go to Green Bay for the Bears game. I can't believe it's 10 years since I last went.

Shame that my trip had to be cancelled.

The Urban Meyer experiment in Jax has predictably come to a premature end.

That was some good news to wake up to.

Probably won’t finish like this, but greatly enjoying the first half of Detroit vs Arizona. The hopeless 1-11 Lions currently shutting out the much-fancied 10-3 Cardinals at halftime, 17-0.

Cracking game Titans v Steelers

Guess we can now look forward to the number 1 pick for the second year in a row.

2nd outstanding play fake by Rodgers.

Pretty much unplayable.

 

[Stat Brother]

I know I've been jabbing at all you supporters of lesser teams but here we are again.


Farve a generational Packers QB, breaks the touchdown record with 442.
Obviously that'll stand for decades to come.

Nope.

Next man up, overlooked by most of the NFL, equalled it tonight some 17 seasons later.



Hopefully the Browns don't shut Rodgers out on Christmas Day, I so nearly kept a straight face.

Been pretty much nailed on from Week One though eh?

Always going to be a transitional season for the Bears, though we've managed to contrive a situation where no one is sure who the starting QB will be again. Woop. In reality the Vikings are no better and very likely heading for a losing season too. And as for the Lions......

Still, "you can only beat what's in front of you".

Pride comes before a fall or in this case, before your unhappy QB moves somewhere else in the close season

I say this as a Broncos fan who hopes AR fancies doing a Peyton and comes to Denver for a last hurrah with a different team. Steady Teddy's unfortunate departure yesterday combined with having to play Drew 'INT' Lock, some appalling clock management and offensive play calling really showed that you cannot win a division with just a great D.

I can live with the 8 & 8 no-marks for a few seasons, after the run I've been on.

Will still probably win the NFC North anyway.

Yawn.

Packers own Bears - AGAIN for ANOTHER Season.

It's almost boring now.

I can assure you it's extremely boring from where I'm sitting

Still, maybe in 2025?

Fully expected the Raiders to win last night with our injury / covid list - but still gutting to lose it on a FG as time expired.
That one kick though really shows the fine margins in this game - if we had won we would be top of the AFC North and #4 seed for the playoffs....now we are bottom of the AFC North and #12 seed. Crazy.

 

[Stat Brother]

Just watched the highlights of both games.

Quite how the Raiders win after going long with 3 mins left is beyond me.

Viqueens v Carebears - chippy fights = the very epitome of bald men fighting for a comb.

Outgained them but missed another field goal and coughed it up like a cat with a furball.

Kind of like Brighton and xG last season

I’m looking forward to the off season, again.

Yep, when we picked off Carr I thought we would be able to run the clock down behind Chubb....obviously not.
Another season of ifs, buts & maybes. One year we will get it right...
