2023 NFL Season Thread

[Senator Clay Davis]

I mean if he's as good as advertised he can carry the Bears or Broncos right back into the top tier. Remember they'd only have to beat the Titans and Bucs and Falcons of the world, shouldn't be too hard with an actually elite QB.

[Paulie Walnuts]

The Bears would be the one franchise to ruin Williams.

[rubecube]

Todd Bowles demonstrating his world-class clock-management skills again.

[rubecube]

Oh nevermind. He gave up. That's even funnier.

[KelVarnsen]

Fly Eagles Fly!

[Senator Clay Davis]

I kinda like him giving up lol. Saves us a few minutes of watching Baker try and dink and dunk a 17 point miracle comeback.

The Eagles beat writers are joking on twitter how thoughtful it was because they have a 7 AM flight back to Philly in the morning.

EDIT: Also, it was only 14 points.

Might be time for some tiered NFL with two 16 teams leagues and relegation/promotion.

Yesterday afternoon I was thinking that the disparity between the good teams and bad teams has really grown this year. It seemed like there was always three, maybe four, really awful teams with a bunch of mediocre teams and half a dozen good teams in previous years. This year there are 8, maybe 10, really awful teams right now and three teams that standout as good.

Bengals receivers doing everything in their considerable power to try to make Burrow look like normal Burrow and they just can't quite do it.

But he only started mismanaging the clock/quitting when they had converted that 3rd and 13 and got into close to gimme FG range. So he gave up rather than hope for an elite kicker to miss a 90+% kick, plus a TD drive, plus an onside kick, plus another TD drive, and potentially at least one 2PT convert. Eagles were at 99.8% GWC after they converted that 3rd and 13. Eagles aren't the Browns or Chargers, only they can blow something like that.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Plus in quitting he got us the rare double scorigami week (70-20 obviously was the other one)

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

That's awesome... I guess that'll happen with a 2 point conversion and safety in the same game. My question is does 36 combined points count as Low Scorigami? I forget what the cutoff is.

[Senator Clay Davis]

There is no cutoff. Right now the lowest missing scorigami is 2-2. And while the dream Bronocs-Bears score (for the lolz anyway) would be 0-0, it has actually happened 73 times, thanks to those non-forward pass years. Website has all available and already done scores.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

In the original video Jon refers to low scorigami but I can't recall what he defines it as.

EDIT: It's when both teams score 15 points or fewer. So no go.

[Senator Clay Davis]

McVay needs to be investigated, back to back weeks with dubious backdoor pushes?

On no, just realized SNF is Jets-Chiefs, MNF has the Giants. The league is really going to have to reassess the flex rules linked above - especially in case of QB/superstar injury.



And sign me up for an OT tie in the Broncos-Bears game.

Zach Wilson and Daniel Jones on prime time back to back nights.
