Again, let's remember that this thread is now only for posts concerning multiple teams, players on multiple teams, or the league itself. All posts about an individual player or team belong in the team forums.
Consensus from Media is that Scam is back! **** Darnold!
Also Baker Mayfield is holding The Browns back. I've yet to hear any of the talking heads acknowledge his Top3RBs were out with the flu. Or acknowledge that Baker has been instrumental in Browns turnaround. A historically awful Franchise.
Mayfield holding back the Browns is laughable. He’s injured and probably should just shut down for the year but he is gutting through it. The Browns are 5-5 and could easily have a winning season.
Im just so tired of the media in all it’s forms. Sports media is probably the most hyper-reactive and instantaneous with talking heads spewing their “hot takes” and somehow get traction because enough idiots out there buy into it. They are just instruments to keep the bread and circuses going. They are all tools. Their most egregious offense as of late was putting all the focus on Rodgers not getting the covid vaccine while almost totally ignoring the black 1st rounder from Alabama who killed a woman. Just shows how ****** they are.
With Thanksgiving approaching and COVID-19 cases rising again nationwide, the NFL on Tuesday night issued a memo to its teams detailing changes to its COVID-19 protocols, including mandatory testing for all players and staff the Monday and Wednesday after the holiday and mandatory mask-wearing for all players and staff while inside club facilities from Nov. 25 through Dec. 1.
The memo, a copy of which was obtained by ESPN, also establishes new requirements for surveillance cameras in team facilities for the purpose of enforcing COVID-19 protocols. The memo says the league has been "periodically reviewing footage from surveillance cameras in club facilities to ensure Protocol compliance. Discipline has been issued against individual players and clubs as warranted."
Effective Nov. 29, all NFL teams will be required to have video cameras installed in their weight rooms and cafeterias, including weight rooms that are outdoors or in practice bubbles. Teams must retain video from those cameras for 30 days in case the league requests to view it for the purpose of finding out whether people are following mask requirements at team facilities.
It’s hard for me to feel sorry for any of the players. The coaches, to some degree yes, as they were threatened with termination. Players like Rodgers, Beasley, Harrison Smith, Cousins and Hopkins all had the courage to just say no. Others could have followed their lead.NFL to intensify COVID-19 protocols around Thanksgiving holiday
A lot of players and coaches were pushed into taking the deadly vaxx as the path of least resistance. In fact, many of their jobs likely depended on it. They thought they'd at least get their privileges back, but instead they got the ol' Covid Switcheroo!
The NFL moves franchises not because they aren't being supported enough but because a city didn't sufficiently submit to an owner's greed-fueled blackmail demands. The league has been a money-making machine for a long time and teams shouldn't be able to relocate without just cause and there no longer is just cause, just a city's refusal to spend millions (now billions actually) of taxpayer monies to build a new stadium every 20 years to benefit a billionaire. The city of St. Louis has won damages but that's no consolation to the fans who spent (wasted) so much money supporting a team that split town. Yeah, it's mostly DWFs who lost out, but it's still the little guy getting shafted as always.

The city of St. Louis basically had the saying turnaround is fair play happen to them with Rams leaving St. Louis, except that when the Rams came to St. Louis there lease was up and here their greedy owner violated his lease.The NFL moves franchises not because they aren't being supported enough but because a city didn't sufficiently submit to an owner's greed-fueled blackmail demands.

Rumor confirmed. Vaccinated players will no longer be subject to daily tests.The NFL is nearing a major problem with all of the positive COVID tests. The league and players union are revisiting the protocols. The rumored proposed solution: stop testing vaccinated players.
The NFL's leading tackler last season, Zach Cunningham, was cut the other day by Houston. Part of it was due to lack to coverage skills, part of it was due to off-field issues. On waivers, the sad-sack, Chad Hansen-less Detroit Lions are the first team in line to claim him.
Yea Saints fans hated Alex even tho he played great. I'm glad he's doing well, albeit on a bad team. His replacement Kwon has made many boneheaded mistakes but they don't say anything. A majority of saints fans also claimed that Trey Hendrickson only got sacks because he lined up opposite to Cam Jordan. Glad he's tearing it up as well.Not sure if I should post this in the Texans thread, or the Lions thread or the Bust thread, but I think this is the best place.

Here's a fascinating tidbit from a fan site which will blow away any DWF or Black Supremacists' specious and totally erroneous claim of "why not, Cunningham's got a be 100 times better than Alex Anzalone in coverage".
- Utter lack of impact plays. Cunningham has one INT, six sacks and five forced fumbles in five NFL seasons. Lions LB Alex Anzalone has more PDs in the last four games (5) than Cunningham has in his last 24 games played.
