2021 NFL Week 7

[The Hock]

Looked like Hurts tried to do a little basketball move on that fumble.

Just fall on the ball. You can get fancy on the next play.

I suppose fundamentals are beneath a lot of these upsiders.

NFL d-coordinators need to figure out how to defend the RPO. I am not impressed with the Cardinals or Murray. The same RPO play is called allowing for QB to pass to the open player. Is it just a matter of playing disciplined assignment football? Playing a zone/man hybrid defense? Collapsing the pocket quickly as possible? I feel the answers are all out there but coordinators coach scared. This is a high school offense in Arizona, it's beyond pathetic that the NFL is not shutting it down. If I was an NFL d-coordinator I would play a zone defense and take away the passing game, dare the Cardinals to run and then when the field is shortened bring the pressure. The Cardinals started off hot last year before sputtering down the stretch.

Houston is an untalented and highly Caste team, so it's no surprise they got blown out, but Arizona is one of the weakest 7-0 teams I've ever seen. The only reason they're succeeding (so far) is the dumbed-down defenses of today's NFL that are of course mostly purged of White players.

I miss the days when the MLB quarterbacked the defense and was a White position by default.

Mostly good news this week...

Rams come back to beat the Lions, Kupp with a monster game - the best receiver in the NFL right now
Raiders come back to beat the odious Eagles
Joe Burrow 400+ yards passing, carves up Baltimore's not-so-mighty defense
Chiefs choke LOL, not even going to pretend not to be enjoying the **** out of that after all the "dynasty" and "better than Brady" talk
Brady is still the greatest, Rodgers aging like fine wine as well
Mac Jones awesome young QB, Daniel Jones with a nice win as well
Matt Ryan leads the Falcons to a comeback over the odiously managed Dolphins

I gotta say this for Darnold - he's had his struggles the last few games, but he's being unfairly scapegoated by the usual suspects as personally responsible for all of Carolina's woes. They need McCaffrey back, badly - C-Mac's absence is their biggest issue. And benching Darnold for P.J. Walker was laughably dumb. P.J. had an absolute turd of a performance, unsurprisingly, as he is not even close to any kind of NFL-caliber quarterback, even a backup. No matter what struggles he has, Darnold is a far superior option than Walker.

If the Panthers grab Duhshaun, Darnold and C-Mac both need to get out of there.

If Carolina gets Watson I think McCaffery would at least be part of the deal along with several draft picks. It would the the Panthers back for sure.

 

[Leonardfan]

Crissy with the mobile QB talk like Jimmy G is a statue. Crissy is such a bitch

 

[Leonardfan]

Great deep ball from Wentz!

 

[Extra Point]

Cris Collinsworth suggesting that the 49ers would have been better off with Trey Lance. Cucks such as Collinsworth take every opportunity to promote black supremacy.

So far this year Lance has a 52.1 completion percentage and an 88.4 quarterback rating. Garoppolo has a 66.1 completion percentage and an 96.9 quarterback rating.

Yet Collinsworth says that Lance is better.

 

[Phall]

There is no doubt Tom Brady is the greatest football player of all time. Earlier in the game today he passed for his 600th career td which in number 1 all time in the NFL.

To put that into comparison, Matthew Stafford who is one of the top 3 qb's in the NFL today finally passed for his 300th td. So Stafford has played for well over a decade
yet he only has half the touchdowns of Brady. No one on this earth will ever top Tom Brady yet the NFL doesn't want traditional quarterbacks anymore. Funny that guys
like Brady are looked down on. We all know that very few dual threat qb's have the talent to win the Super Bowl. Also they usually have far shorter careers. So any team
has a far better chance of making the playoffs and Super Bowls with a traditional drop back quarterback.

Great post!

Thought I saw Crosby share a sack but no credit in the stats.

Great write up. I enjoyed reading it. As far as Darnold, the media and coaching staff has already reported that his starting job is safe for now. I agree Cmac is
a huge miss both rushing and receiving. It's not just that. He attracts so much attention from the defense that is opens up everything for other players.

Given P.J. Walker's stinker, Rhule really has no choice but to stick with Darnold for now. Rhule now looks like the fool he is for benching Darnold in the first place.

 

[Phall]

Gunner Olszewski with his first reception of the year in garbage time against the pathetic Jets.

On a similar note, I see that Ryan Nall is now on the board this season with a stat: a four-yard reception in garbage time of a blowout loss. I didn't see the play, but when I think of Ryan Nall's qualities, a swing pass is not the first thing I'd use him for.

 

[Jerry Reb]

Crissy must feel like he's in the perfect spot - one of Jimmy G or Wentz has to lose, and whichever one loses can be bashed and scapegoated, Sam Darnold style, to Aunt Crissy's eternal satisfaction.

This is how the (((media))) always spin things in a white QB vs. white QB battle - always focus on the loser and ignore the winner.

 

[HaywoodZarathustra]

Collinsworth is another of those players that were too lazy to pump iron. The dude is 6'5" and played at less than 200 lbs. He didn't have to look like a bodybuilder and get tight and stiff, but a modest regime would have made it much less feasible that a defender was going to embarrass his stringbean arse. You can see what age does to overly skinny people. He's starting to look like the Cryptkeeper, because there was nothing to pad out his flesh.

 

[Phall]

Is Cooper Kupp the best player in the NFL at any position? Tom probably still deserves the #1 ranking, but I see Kupp sliding in at number two. Defense gets less glory, but TJ Watt could be a respectable #3.

Joe Burrow is quickly distinguishing himself as an absolute franchise-altering stud. I am obviously biased, but I have to think a hypothetical NFL general manager would prefer to have Burrow over "established Pro Bowlers" like Kyler Murray and Lamar Jackson, let alone "project players" like Trey Lance and Justin Fields. I'm glad that the Cincinatti offense gets to air it out each week to bolster his stat lines.

And Burrow is doing it with a lousy offensive line.

 

[Extra Point]

Bizarre "pass" by Wentz.

 

[BeyondFedUp]

Wentz throws a perfect pass for an almost certain TD... dropped by the NFLs finest.

 

[Leonardfan]

Crissy and Al spent more time criticizing Wentz on passes than on Hines for missing that perfect pass.

 

[BeyondFedUp]

Totally LOVE the intensity of the SPIKE after the TD by Wentz!! Kick ass!

 

[Upside]

Goff SHOULD be safe although Campbell has already called him out. The Lions are bereft of talent all over the roster, having a quality young QB with a Super Bowl appearance on his resume should be the last worry on the Lions roster that has holes every where. Stafford was not able to win on that team and his change of scenery has certainly improved his outlook.
.

I guess these coaches feel emboldened to call out White players. The media will make them look like disciplinarian types, while also scoring points with the brothers in the locker room. It’s a win-win... meanwhile black players can lollygag, blow assignments, drop passes, miss tackles, drive drunk, beat women, or just flat out suck, and no coach will ever hold them accountable...

 

[Upside]

Fields rocked and fumbles the ball. Another Quota who will need to have his college offense implemented for him to enjoy any success (see Kyler Murray)

Must be nice to simply walk through the door and have the coach structure the entire offensive scheme around you. I guess there were no NFL coaches smart enough to do that for Tebow...

I’ve always said that basic gap defense will stop these quotas from running wild. I like my chances on the back end. Stop the run, force them to beat you through the air.
I’ll give credit where it’s due to Mahomes and Wilson who are legitimately good to great QBs.. but Murray, Jackson, Watson; it’s all smoke and mirrors...

 

[Henrik the Swede]

That’s one heck of a drive by Jimmy G!

 

[BeyondFedUp]

Win or lose, Wentz is showing serious guts leading the Colts...now up 5 with a FG (distance?) in the rain. Love this harsh, old school game, on natural grass, out in the miserable elements.

Burrow is shining, for sure....Then there’s Herbert. Damn that kid’s good.

 

[BeyondFedUp]

Wentz with the TD throw, and man oh man , props to Pittman for a phenomenal catch there!
