Not a good day for my Alec Pierce watch. Stats show a zero but at least one throw by Richardson was way off mark when he floated it over the head of an open Pierce when he should have drilled it. An NFL starter should see those things. Another Pierce target sure looked like interference when the defender didn't turn his head around till the ball was almost there.
Ha had that double pass sure backfired when the Denver guy read it beautifully for an easy touchdown.

I didn't see the introduction of the starters but it looks like the Seahawks are proudly starting 22 blacks and Green Bay with 20, all but the TE and center. (Edit: Anderson also playing due to injuries.) This game should be called the Great Replacement Bowl, the blackest NFL game ever.
Seattle's "defense" must think this is a flag football game. No resistance whatsoever so far. . .

Agreed, and Goff is my second-place guy. He has been outstanding all season long.

All three have been outstanding. I would give the edge to Allen, but all three deserving. Let’s see how the last couple of weeks shake out.

A piece of good news and bad news about Watt's injury.

Boring slate tonight but Blake Cashman is all over the field for Minnesota. Caleb Williams continues to try 1 read hero ball, doesnt work in the NFL. Aikman has been destroying him all game.
Holy cow, watching Desmond Ridder and Anthony Richardson play QB this week makes me think I should tryout right now. Talk about scattershot arms. So awful. All I need is one catch from Brock Bowers in the second half to win my fantasy playoff but I can't see it happening with this QB. Ugh!
What an uneventful week this was.
Also, much as our CBs have been playing lights out, this has definitely NOT been a year of white RB, even though we were cautiously hopeful. On top of CMC injury riddled season, we barely saw the others play, outside of Steele at the very beginning of the season.

It sickens me that Laube was leap frogged in the depth chart by a practice squad guy. Zero carries since TJ Watt forced that fumble.
Steele entrenched as fourth string.
Shipley third string.
Schrader a healthy scratch every F-in game.
Funk not playing, Laird has been out of the league for a year plus.
Hunter Luepke, at fullback, gets a token pass catch here and there.
Let’s hope Skattabo gets drafted day two and the rest of our guys climb the depth chart next year.

Yep the whiteout as in keeping whites out of the running back position has been a success. They just can't let white guys get
our hopes up can they? Uuuggghhhh.
Hopefully next year will be alot better. Even many of our recievers like Luke McCaffrey have been ignorred or shut out.

This is from a Bears writer. I did some research and this LT has 36” arms and “searing explosiveness”.
The Bears threatened to make it a one-score game in the third quarter but had their red-zone threat thwarted by an Amegadjie holding penalty, for instance, settling for a field goal that changed the game. A false start in the fourth quarter by Amegadjie complicated another red-zone drive. An illegal man downfield penalty on Amegadjie just seemed like piling on. That was four yellow flags on No. 72, if you're counting.

I watched most of the game last night and it was another good win for Sam and the Vikings.
Seeing the Bears again, nothing has changed. Their sumo offensive line is beyond awful. Caleb Williams also sucks. He holds the ball FOREVER, which Joe Buck even quipped at one point. Then when the pocket inevitably breaks down, he runs around trying to find someone on a broken play. This might have worked in college but it’s predictably failing in the NFL. The mostly likely reason he holds it so long is that he has no idea how to read a defense. Then, he has no ability to go through his progressions when the first read isn’t there. This might be tough to fix as some guys either have it or they don’t.
It seems like the push to blacken the QB position has coincided with college coaches eschewing the fundamentals and teaching of the mental components. This affects all the White QBs coming up too. Sam Darnold has said that he learned how to read a defense from Shanahan in his 1 year with SF. Clearly he was taught very little at USC and then with loser franchises like the Jets and Panthers. Like the rest of society, things continue to get dumbed down and competency goes with it.

If I'm asked who or what I vote for I say "indoor plumbing", but now I should add that the NFL teams bring back the QB as field general not best sandlot player for his age.

I need to temper my optimism for next year. Despite white men being allowed to play running back in the D1 ranks with increasing (albeit it still far too little) frequency, there was some modest thoughts of rookies Shipley, Steele and Laube getting some action.
Laube had one carry (fumble) and was relegated to WSTD duties.
Shipley has been a ghost for Philadelphia; of course this is the year when the very talented Barkley stays healthy. Still, he has lost his backup role and now only plays special teams for the most part.
Steele was getting some action but, to his fault, he fumbled too often. Since then he must watch lesser-talented blacks get all the rushing attempts.
Maybe next year McCaffrey and Skattebo will both do well. I’m more hopeful for Skattebo than I am the rookies this year. He is garnering media adoration. That raises his stock and gives him viability.
Same reason Shipley should have stayed at Clemson this year. Win back that starting role and ball out, raise his national profile.
DWFs are of course ignorant in general, but the complexity of offensive line duties combined with the lack of "glory" highlight reels for them means that the drunk fans are particularly ignorant about the strengths and weaknesses of the O-linemen of "their" team. All it takes is one hack writer to say that a sumo is explosive and has long arms and the fans will eat it up and automatically think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Good post, I also watched both games as I had fantasy football teams in the playoffs. Desmond Ridder may be the worst QB I've ever seen. As a couple of sports media know-nothings around here used to say of Robert Spillane when he was with the Steelers and before he turned into one of the top LBs in the league after getting an opportunity with the Raiders, "He belongs nowhere near an NFL field."
Same can be said of Williams. To be fair I never judge QBs too harshly in their rookie years, but Williams obviously needs a lot of coaching to draw out his "searing explosiveness" (a new and funny Caste term from Snowplow's post above). Basic reading of an NFL defense at this point is a foreign concept to him. (And to be fair again, Kirk Cousins was also terrible last night, he's had a nice career but all QBs and athletes eventually start losing it.)
It's also clear how dumbed down coaches and coaching in general are. Only a small number of NFL franchises seem to have a head coach and assistant coaches capable of developing quarterbacks. I'm sure it's no better at the other, less important positions. And how hard can the preferred NFL player, usually from a ghetto with no father in his life, be coached anyway? The endless penalties and stupid plays is testimony to that.
As Freethinker posted we seemed to have taken a giant step toward Idiocracy during the Biden regime, which is not only incomprehensibly corrupt but spectacularly incompetent. It's a DEI/CRT/affirmative action nightmare that the NFL embraced long ago and all of society suffers from it. And many Whites are also in bad shape after generations of hardcore leftist propaganda pushing dysgenic ways of life and thinking and generations of progressively dumbed down teachers "educating" our children.
The product was terrible last night. I realized again that the only reason I still follow the NFL is because I play fantasy football as I would never waste my time otherwise and will probably cut way back on that time-wasting hobby as the endless injuries make partaking in it far more of a chore than something I enjoy. You draft a team before the season starts and then spend the season trying to replace most of the guys you drafted due to an endless carousel of hamstring pulls, sprained ankles, concussions, broken bones, blown out knees, etc., etc.
My highlight from last night was listening to Troy Aikman, who subtly remains the best booth analyst out there.

Well said fellas there’s a reason certain teams/organizations are always in the hunt. Green Bay, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, LAR as examples.
The bottom 10 NFL teams are REALLY bad this season. Even by caste mediocrity standards, overall depth of this League is down.!
PS I like Romo and Aikman as announcers. Not bad for ex Cowgirl QBs.

TJ Watt might be able to go this Saturday. The way he grabbed his foot, I thought it was a serious injury.
