2021 NFL Week 8

[Extra Point]

Isabella is getting the shaft....

GM’s take note...
Unless there’s a slam dunk obvious choice, always trade your number one draft pick for multiple picks in the mid rounds. Whites are undervalued big time...You can pick up the Sam Hubbard’s and Cooper Kupp there....My goal would be 5-6 picks every year in the second to fourth rounds....Grab as many devalued whites and hidden gem blacks as you can...Get rid of pains in the ass for multiple picks. Scout the practice squads and take Tanner Muse for free, David Sills for practically nothing, etc....Ryan Nall has to be at least a good third running back on every team...Quit slobbering over 40 times and pay attention to football plays....

Excellent advice! A team could be built up very quickly this way.

Been saying for years stay out of the hype zone which is typically IMO the first 10 picks which is about which the evil media scum can hype unless you have a lock as you wrote. But every thing you wrote is canon that should be sitting in front of every GM. But it won't because they are in on the scam and if they break ranks on the scam and it becomes obvious no more big paychecks. NFL is where you can literally lose and make bank.

Even my wife caught the stoopid on Green's play in the end zone. And that last play by GB where Rogers had his pass blocked, they might as well have told the Cardinals D exactly what was coming. Lowry is rounding out and to use an over used term into "beast mode", too bad Murray is a protected class because I'm sure if Trubisky or Jones had self tackled one of the ESPN sadistic twisted gimps or a cackling colored on the NFL Network would make big hay over that lowlight.

I might even make the big sacrifice of myself and find the Cardinals social media outlets and ask WTF are they doing with Iz sitting out?

 

[Bucky]

Great win for The Pack. Rodgers was efficient with his 2TDs, zero INTs. While Murray struggled. Was pressured,spied on, sacked. Tossed 2 INTs.

Dean Lowry continues his hot streak. 3 straight weeks with sacks! He has 27tkls and 3 sacks as a 3-4 DE on the year now! I'd say he's coming into his own.

Bad news: Looks like Tonyan blew out his knee on his longest reception of the year..

 

[Bucky]

Was a positive sign to see Gardeck and Allen out there on Defense for Arizona.

Dark horse destination for Isabella come trade time: Jacksonville to team up with Lawrence.

Also posted this in the Isabella thread:

Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reports Andy Isabella is among potential trade targets for receiver-needy teams like the Saints and Lions.
Isabella has been the forgotten man in Arizona's wideout rotation this season, replaced by A.J. Green and rookie Rondale Moore. Isabella, who has been active for one game in 2021, was an enticing, blazing fast prospect coming out of the University of Massachusetts in 2019, but has only been used when the Cards are desperate at receiver. He would likely crack the starting lineup for both Detroit and New Orleans if Arizona deals him prior to the NFL's November 2 trade deadline.

Damn that would be sweet, I hope they can work out a deal for Andy! This is one of the all time biggest screw jobs in caste history.

It's up there but I could spend half a day at least listing so many others it would make your head spin.

One for example was Mike Hass who played for Oregon State. He was the best receiver in the NCAA and led the nation in receiving yards only to
be kicked out of the league without ever getting a fair chance. Have a look at what he did just at the college level. Also I don't want to hear anything
about his speed as Jerry Rice and countless others proved you can be elite without running a 4.4 in the 40. Speed is so overrated.

College career
Hass was a starting wide receiver for Oregon State University from 2003 - 2005. Although he was an outstanding player in high school, most college scouts felt his limited size and speed would prevent him from excelling at the collegiate level, and was not offered a football scholarship by any Division I schools, and ended up as a walk-on at Oregon State.[1] After playing mostly on special teams in 2002, he was awarded a scholarship and a starting role as he broke out with the first of three consecutive 1,000+ receiving yard seasons in 2003. He kept the pace in 2004, breaking more school and conference records on his way to being named a Third-team All-American.

In 2005, his senior season, Hass won the Fred Biletnikoff Award and was named an AP, Walter Camp and ESPN First-team All-American. He was invited to the 81st annual East-West Shrine Game recording four receptions for 107 yards, including the game-winning touchdown for the West.[2]

Records
Despite only playing three seasons, Hass currently holds many Oregon State records, as well as several Pac-10 records. Some of these include:

• The first receiver in Oregon State and Pac-10 history to have three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, and is only the 10th player in NCAA history to do so.
• Holds the Oregon State record and is third in the Pac-10 for receiving yards in a career with 3,924
• The only player in Oregon State and Pac-10 history with two 225-plus yards receiving games.
• His 293 receiving yards against Boise State in 2004 is an Oregon State and Pac-10 record for most receiving yards in a single game.
• His 14 receptions against Arizona State in 2004 is an Oregon State record for most receptions in a game.
• His 20 receiving touchdowns ties him for the school record for receiving touchdowns in a career.
• His 90 receptions in the 2005 season is an Oregon State record for most receptions in a single season.
• His 220 receptions in his college career was an Oregon State record for most receptions in a career
• His 1,532 receiving yards in the 2005 season is an Oregon State and Pac-10 (Not including pac-12 records) record for most receiving yards in a single season.

Nice win for GB!
Had to sleep when it was ”live” so just finished watching the game.
Dubios playcalling a few times from the Pack though.

Very sad to see Tonyan hurt. He’s still played way to moderatly and is by far GBs best TE.

This was the first Cards game I saw in full but they must have been a little dependent on luck in the previous games huh? Cause yesterday the bounces and inches were against them many times and they didn’t seem like they really could cope with that.

 

[NEP01]

LaFleur, Kingsbury, and Zac Taylor are now a combined 19-4, with two of the losses being Kingsbury and Taylor losing to LaFleur in close games. All three were hired in 2019, to much fury from the media for being white and young. These hires were also widely mocked for thinking a connection to Sean McVay was a qualification for being a head coach. Of course, any reassessment of these cold takes will never happen.

 

[Leonardfan]

Sounds like Mayfield is playing today with his bum non-throwing shoulder. Dolphins elevated Laird from the PS.

 

[Leonardfan]

Let's hope Bosa destroys Fields today!

 

[Leonardfan]

What a change of scenery did for Carson Wentz. Just drove down the field and scored a TD on a defense that kept the Chiefs out of the end zone last week.

 

[woody39]

Second touchdown for Wentz

 

[woody39]

Kupps 3 for 37 already a machine

 

[woody39]

Logan Wilson 5 solo ,tackles so far still in the first he's unreal.

Yeah that was worse than Andy’s situation! Hass could have been the next Rice.

 

[woody39]

Good catch by Jesse James for the touchtown, getting a target there the tight end for the Bears.

 

[woody39]

Touchdown Swain for Titans Tannehill needed that to keep in touch with the Colts then.

 

[woody39]

Guys Matthew Stafford is legit top 5 quarterback he's been amazing for the Rams I find it strange he never really gets the credit he deserves. Even on here he sometimes gets overlooked.

 

[icsept]

Rex Burkhead and Danny Amendola both active for the hapless Texans today. A far cry from their days with the Pats. At least they’re both still drawing paychecks and building their NFL pensions.

 

[icsept]

Patrick Laird 15 yard reception negated by an illegal shift.

 

[El Gringo]

Ryan Nall sighting, they used him as a decoy! Bosa flew in and drew a hold.

Love those guys with they were back with my Pats

Is it me or do white players have plays called backed when they make a big gain more often than black players?
