I no longer watch the NFL at all but occasionally go to the NFL website to look at stats and highlighted plays. Question: does Darren Waller always play like that? That dude is bigger than any cb or safety but I noticed he slows down considerably before he's about to get hit. He flinches. If he is consistently like that, I haven't seen play that pansyish since the fabulous 6'4" 270 lb rb Brandon Jacobs would run away from hits by cornerbacks. LeGarrette Blount was also like that. I once saw him back away from pounding it into the hole when only a foot was needed on 3rd down and try to run to the outside and lose 3 yards. Were I coach, he would have lost his job on my team.

I hadn’t watch closely enough to notice Waller avoiding hits. But, he only averages 10.4 yards per catch. At the same size, Gronk averages over 15 yards per catch for his career. And we all know Gronk has never avoided a hit.

Just an atrocious play by the CB, but it will quickly be forgotten. Even third graders know that you keep the receiver in front of you in that situation. Just imagine if it was Jeff Heath.

If only he had swiveled those magical hips sooner.

If you're even he's leaving.

Kalen Ballage 8 carries 11 yds - one of the worst offensive players in the league yet he still manages to get meaningful playing time because the “best players play”

There are at least a dozen White QBs better than Peterman who aren't on NFL rosters but would make perfectly serviceable backups. I guess if the powers that be can't find enough black quarterbacks to stock the rosters with, the next best thing is the rare White QB who actually is a bust and will never impress anyone.

The announcers keep mistaking Groshek and Schipper.....
Two white running backs? Heads exploding....

LOL wrong thread ;)

Ed Oliver and Vernon Butler were in on that TD run by Gordon. Trent Murphy is inactive. Doing my best to keep an eye on the Bills two sumo interior DL as they are the reason for the defensive struggles against the run but Harrison Phillips and Murphy bear the brunt of the criticism.

It sucks that McCaffrey isn’t back tonight.

So just found the time to watch some football and the first thing I see when I turn on GamePass is a Volvo commercial filmed in Sweden with an arab (a pretty famous actor but still) with a white woman and a mixed baby...

Anyway, is the game any good?

Beasley's having another solid game, looks like he's going to have his first thousand yard season

Beasley is over 100 yards again.

When he gets protection, Josh Allen has become as unstoppable as Aaron Rodgers.

Allen and Beasley have been an underrated combo this season. Really happy Beasley was able to show what he's capable of once out of Dallas.

Big part in my fantasy teams success ha.
