2024 NFL Week 9

[FootballDad]

For Thursday Nite Football this week we have a nearly unwatchable blackfest featuring the Houston Texans at the New York Jets. Looking at the latest Texans depth chart they are the same ugly assembly as previewed by Freethinker in his 2024 team writeup. The only starters are TE Dalton Schultz and LB Jake Hanson, although Hanson is actually listed as 2nd string behind injured starter Christian Harris.

The Jets aren't really any better. They have Aaron Rodgers at QB and Tyler Conklin at TE. At least they have ONE offensive lineman that is lighter-hued in C Joe Tippman. Defense is a whites-need-not-apply fare.

I root for Rodgers to do well but I really don't like this team. And I like the Texans even less, however QB CJ Stroud is refreshingly upfront with his faith. Maybe they can tie, it's pretty close to the same thing as both teams losing.

Nice breakdown. Go Jets but not by much.

I hate it when we get the day's only game that is completely unwatchable.

Worst game of the year, but Jets have Rodgers and I believe DE McGregor is active and should see some snaps on defense.

Maybe they'll set an NFL record for most combined penalties in a game. The number of penalties this season has been ridiculous.

Fatass Tunsil has 13 penalties alone on the year. Sumo OL getting Stroud killed.

This game has been even worse than predicted. Endless penalties, several injured players already, fumbles, sacks, inaccurate passes, to use a currently popular word, the game has been garbage so far.

Hot garbage. I’ll try and make it until half.

 

[PhillyBirds]

On the plus side, Kurt Hinish appears to be healthy and in the d-line rotation for Houston.

...that being said, not much going on here either for our guys or in terms of watchable football.

 

[FootballDad]

The very first pass of the game from Rodgers to the wide receiver who was open was 5 yards out of bounds. It hasn't gotten any better since then.

 

[Don Wassall]

Idiot rookie drops the ball before scoring, a bonehead play committed over the years only by WGAs.

 

[icsept]

Another negro drops the ball before he crosses the goal line. This has to be a joke.

Bro drops the ball before crossing the plane.

Hahahahahaha. That’s all I have to say.

 

[Bucky]

High IQ play there by Malachi!!

 

[icsept]

I’m sure he can just tweet “my bad, this is a learning experience.”

 

[Bucky]

Haha Jets suck for a reason! I’d cut that bum at halftime. Get a high IQ overachiever in there instead.

 

[icsept]

I remember when coaches had balls, like Jimmy Johnson, and if you’re ******* around taunting the fans during a play, or dropping the ball at the one, you can walk home.

 

[Don Wassall]

The Texans just can't help surrounding their QB who played so well last year with an all-sumo line. Gotta like their entertaining first names though -- Laremy, Kenyon, Juice, Shaq and Tytus.

It isn't surprising that Stroud doesn't look as good this year as last. May or may not be another Black QB who started off well but quickly didn't keep it going at that level.

 

[Snow Plow]

This game is terrible and fitting considering the racial makeup. I have to think Rodgers finds a way to win here.

 

[Bucky]

Rodgers 27 yards at half. This is a sad excuse for an NFL game .

 

[FootballDad]

Everything about this game is laughable.

 

[Don Wassall]

Worst first half of an NFL game of all time?

But don't worry, the corporate sports media will have nothing to say about it. The pro game has declined in every way possible, but hey the best players play and the players themselves are "bigger, faster and stronger" than ever!

 

[Bucky]

It’s Up there.

 

[icsept]

This game is an absolute joke. Penalty on the Jets for personal foul on the field goal. Roughing the snapper? Any penalty can be called on any play, particularly illegal contact, offensive or defensive holding.

 

[Freethinker]

Guess everyone went to bed before the conclusion. Main takeaway, is that Rodgers thoroughly outplayed Stroud and got the Jets a much needed win. The Texans coal black offensive lines is one of the worst, allowing their QB to be sacked 8 times.
