2018 NFL Week 7

[Don Wassall]

I’ve had the Jets v Vikings game on in the background, watching with half attention. I did see Adam’s catch that put him over the mark and I couldn’t be happier for him.

His career might be the greatest success for one of our guys in the Caste Era. I’d argue his road to get to stardom has been even more difficult than guys like Wayne Cherbet and Wes Welker since he couldn’t even get a D1 walk-on opportunity. Every 100 yard game is another middle finger to this anti-White system. While this brings me great joy, there is still something that grinds my gears to no end, his salary.

As discussed before, Adam only makes 4.8 million a season compared to his counterpart Diggs who makes 14.4 million. They both signed new deals in the offseason so it’s an apples to apples comparison. Watching today, the Vikings peppered Diggs with a team high 14 targets and he only managed 33 yards. He’s a solid #2 but he lacks the size to be a big over the top target and when they tried to get him in space on short throws, he lacked the elusiveness to break any decent gains.

Their salaries should be swapped and that would be fair for their talents but we know that’s not how it works. This is a major crux of the Caste System, underpaying talented White athletes.

+1, great post

We need Adam to stay healthy and finish off his record breaking season. Call me cynical but he'll need an extra pair of eyes from here on out.

Good post.
Also, I didn't realize Thielen was 28 years old. That surprised me. Doesn't seem like he's been in the league that long. However, I went back and looked up his stats and it read that he was 24 years old in his first season. Did he miss a year or two trying to make a roster? What happened there?

 

[Don Wassall]

Same with Klein and Anzelone in New Orleans.. they're always rotating in and out, and are almost never on the field at the same time...

Agree, Anzalone is a real talent who's being screwed over so far this season. His bugaboo has been injuries but he's been healthy this year. He should be a three down backer, and Klein also.

Thanks and I think you are right to bring up targeting. On Adam’s final catch of the day, after he already went over 100, he took a big shot from one of the Jets’ affletic safeties. He was flagged for a penalty.

CS, after going undrafted in 2013 he spent the entire year on the Vikings practice squad. Then he played sparingly in 2014 & 2015 before breaking out in 2016.

Thielen signed his deal just before his breakout year last year. I believe Diggs signed this offseason. White skill position players are incredibly underpaid from Edelman, Thielen, Nelson etc. He should have had his contract restructured but you know how quickly the fans and media turn on white players when they demand to be fairly paid (ie Peyton Hillis). During the offseason many Minnesota fans and media believed Diggs was the future number one - based on one miracle catch last year. Thielen will definitely be justified in everyone's eyes in getting his contract restructured this offseason. It will be interesting to see if they give him more than Diggs - as they should.

 

[Westside]

Nick Williams just caught a pass from Geoff. Hopefully, he can find a home on this team. He was signed by the Rams due to the injury of Cupp.

 

[Don Wassall]

Kittle starting to kick some major ass late in the first half. The play by play announcer actually called him a "bright young star."

 

[Rocky B]

Unfortunately Bortles has been pulled. I have been a staunch supporter of his since coming into the league but the target on his back was entirely to big - he is going to be the scapegoat even though the running game and OL can get nothing going. Bortles has been inconsistent as a starter - some real moments of brilliance followed by some bad QB play. I do hope Kessler can lead a come back though.

CM, 12 touches 80 yards.
6 carries 25 yards.
After leading the league two weeks ago in yards from scrimmage, he will not doubt drop out of the top 10, now averaging 111. Down from 130.

Two weeks in a row McCaffrey has had 20 yards or so in the first quarter, then nothing in the final three quarters....The loathsome offense sCam runs leads to this horseshit....l

 

[Rocky B]

No signs of Tasom Hill yet.....

 

[Thrashen]

All time mega-bust, WR Kevin White, caught his first pass of the season today. The chubby Caste System gate keeper, Dan Fouts, blurted out that “White’s career has been somewhat of a disappointment.” He didn’t say anything else on the topic.

Haha, no Dan, he’s probably the worst 1st round WR ever selected.

 

[Awake in America]

Jeff Heath should wear long dark sleeves, gloves, and a visor. It could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars on his next contract. He might be the best defensive player the Cowboys have, but the camera will find him guilty for every big play the other team makes.

As with Dan Dierdorf, I'll be glad when Fouts finally retires from the broadcast booth. All the White former players from the '70s and '80s who became broadcasters have been Caste clowns. All part of the Boomer generation that has been so integral to this country's fall . . .

 

[sport historian]

Adam does it, 7 straight 100 yard games!! What's even cooler is that the man he tied, Charlie Hennigan, was a White WR in the AFL. White receiver ties the record of another White receiver, (sadly) that's about as rare as it gets.

I remember Charley Hennigan of the early 60's Houston Oilers, George Blanda's favorite receiver. Hennigan never has been a strong HOF candidate because of the AFL's "weak defenses."

Look on the bright side, to see Mark Schlereth these days, you have to go looking for him. So there's that.

Are you sure about that, I hear him every week as a color analyst doing NFL games.

 

[Thrashen]

Kittle with 98 yards and a TD. Hopefully he can accrue some more stats in garbage time with his team down big.

 

[Bucky]

Dan Arnold sighting for The Saints, just hauled in a 20+yd pass!

Followed by a nice scamper from Taysom Hill!

 

[icsept]

Kerrigan with the strip sack against Dink Prescott, resulting in a TD.

 

[Bucky]

Kerrigan with his 2nd sack and a forced fumble!

Must be a regional thing, or I'm watching other channels for my caste info. I just noticed earlier today that I hadn't seen Schlereth in a long time. Maybe I'm just lucky.

Taysom Hill: 6 carries for 35 yards.
Mark Ingram: 12 carries for 32 yards.

Seems like Hill could be the better power back if given the chance.

 

[Old Scratch]

Why make the decision to go for a tie and OT instead of a possible win? They must really not trust Dak's arm, but then why did they start him over Romo and force Romo out.

 

[Westside]

It's undeniable. Right now Theilen the best WR. Even BSPN is lauding him. and rightfully so.

 

[Don Wassall]

And we move from the 80% black players and the inferior product that passes for the NFL to NBC and its 100% black broadcasting crew leading up to the Sunday night game. Oh, the diversity!

What's even more telling is that the three NBC boys are more competent than the product the NFL puts on the field of play.
