2024 NFL Week 18

[Don Wassall]

Other than the few games that are meaningful as far as affecting playoff seeding, these games have the look and feel of preseason games with so many starters not playing.

 

[Bucky]

Titans are an awful coal team.

Davis Mills in for the Texans. He was the QB prior to McKee at Stanford. Hopefully they both end up in better situations as they are more of the true prototype at the position.

Mills performed better his first two seasons for the awful Texans than either Bryce Young or Anthony Richardson. Funny how he has been caste aside as a forgotten player. Curious to see what free agency brings for him.

So many awful coal teams.

Mills would be a good option for cheap. White Mans discount and all.

 

[Don Wassall]

Shipley just now in at RB for the first time in the game, picks up a first down on second and three.

 

[Rocky B]

Shipley is in.....
Let’s go young man.....Get that 2.5 ypc up.
This is the day he gets the back of his football card looking better for next year.....

 

[Rocky B]

Nice first run for Ship...

 

[Riggins44]

Shipley is in.

 

[Rocky B]

Shipley needs a 10-40 line to get to three yards per carry for the year.
Let’s crush those numbers kid....

 

[Rocky B]

Shipley 14 yard reception

 

[Riggins44]

Shipley with the catch for a first down.

 

[Rocky B]

Another nice catch and run by Ship.....13 yards.

 

[FootballDad]

Caste Football favorite Malik Willis in now for the Blackers after Jordan Love hurt his hand.

 

[Don Wassall]

Another nice catch and run by Ship.....13 yards.

Great job of making the first man miss to get the first down on 3rd and 8

 

[Freethinker]

He looks better than Pickett, who is also injury prone, so I can see him becoming the backup. And Hurts is declining each season now and is somewhat injury prone himself so McKee's future may not be all bleak.

Let’s hope! I really like what I see from him.

 

[Don Wassall]

Bryce Young has improved enough to not be called an all-time bust, as he was looking to be previously. I see him now having a career at best like that of another small QB, Kyler Murray, good enough to hang on to the starter's job for a number of years but not good enough to lead his team anywhere.

 

[Riggins44]

Luepke with the carry on fourth down to pick up the first.

 

[Don Wassall]

Titans are wearing their old throwback Oilers gear in the matchup in Houston. Very appropriate. Too bad they suck.

That's really strange, wearing the uniform and logo of another city's former team. It's the same franchise, but I can't recall another pro team doing that.

 

[Carolina Speed]

Luepke with the carry on fourth down to pick up the first.

Luepke 2 carries 15 yards 7.5 ypc. Dowdle 11/42 3.8 ypc. Luepke's not an every down back though.

 

[Freethinker]

The Bucs better wake up otherwise they might be eliminated by The Rat and the awful Saints squad. Panthers “defense” can’t stop anything so they shouldn’t expect a favor.

 

[Don Wassall]

Mayfield to Durham for the TD, let's go Bucs!

 

[backrow]

Payne Durham TD for Bucs!

 

[wile]

Willis not exactly showing pocket awareness on that fumble

 

[Carolina Speed]

Penix throws an INT and the announcer is quick to say the INT wasn't on Penix because the WR didn't haul it in. In reality it was on Penix as the receiver was wide open and all Penix had to do was hit him in the chest. Penix threw the ball at his feet and the receiver would've had to make a spectacular catch.

 

[Don Wassall]

Shipley with a nice 7 yard run, almost broke it for the TD.

One thing I've learned from this game is that Saquon Barkley is a saint. The announcers have gushed over him non-stop from the opening kickoff.

 

[jimmyjerapolo]

Washington pulled Daniels and the Packers seem content to hold Love out. They're playing for the 6 seed, winner goes to LA instead of Philly. I would think that would matter quite a bit but apparently it doesn't mean much.

 

[Freethinker]

Caleb Williams is a stat poaching garbage QB. 32 yard TD throw in the boxscore but it was a WR screen behind the line of scrimmage in which DJ Moore did all of the work. This is what this guy does. Check downs, screens and yards when the team is losing big (most weeks). He won’t throw the ball down field at all unless his first read is wide open or he runs around and gets a broken play.

Edit: and to be partial, Penix at least throws the ball down field and can make some throws. I’d rank Maye, Nix, Daniels and Penix ahead of Generational Caleb.
