NFL Season 2024

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

There might be some good picks in there but I got no clue because I got no clue who they playing

Come on man! I thought everyone knew the weekly NFL matchups off their top of their head.

I was in an unexpected big hurry as soon as I started doing it. I will edit now.

Will Matt Ebeflus be fired during or after the season?
Dude should have been fired long ago.
JUNK!

[Sparko]

And Dennis Allen. What stupid play calling down a point

[pdub]

Bears have a get right game at home v Pats and then have 3 division foes in a row.
That's the season right there.

What was the deal with Jason Kelce? I saw a short clip where some moran was harassing him (while Jason was carrying a case of beerzos) and Jason smashed the shit out that dude's phone. He's probably lucky it wasn't his face.

Anyone know what was up with dat?

We talked about it briefly here:

Dude who got his phone crushed deserved it.

[Overlander]

Not too hard to get a new phone.
Orbital sockets? Completely different story.

I'll throw some gutter at you for the sake of being a devil's advocate and share what SOME (a few?) may be thinking.......
What's "like a grown ass man"? Doing what his agent and marketing people told him to do, conforming to ESPN's wishes, not actually apologizing?
Or......?

My worthless two cents..... Kid was a piece of shit. Kelce went to too far.
Good on Kelce for making a public statement.
I feel the best move would be for both of them to apologize to each other - and move on.

How is it that you have to throw dishwater on everything?

A grown ass man is a man who can nut up, admit he fucked up, own it, and do better.

I like Jason Kelce. He seems like a good guy. I am going to let what I see be what I assume.

Maybe no one had to tell him that he needed to do this? Maybe he knew it was the right thing to do?

* I don't throw dishwater on everything. In regards to your post and the subject - I shared what "SOME (a few?) may be thinking".

A grown ass man is a man who can nut up, admit he fucked up, own it, and do better.
* I agree with that 100%.

I like Jason Kelce. He seems like a good guy. I am going to let what I see be what I assume.
* I like Jason Kelce too. He seems like a good guy to me too. I let what I see be what I assume too.
But.... I am someone who is open to seeing/hearing/reading what others have to share on a subject/topic and get different perspectives/angles to situations. All I did here was share what others "may be thinking".

Maybe no one had to tell him that he needed to do this? Maybe he knew it was the right thing to do?
* Maybe. Probably? I don't know. Again, all I did was share what "SOME (a few?) may be thinking".

Now I'm sharing MY opinion and what I am thinking.
I feel Kelce was wrong for how he behaved during the situation. There are some who feel he should have beaten the shit out of the kid. I'm not one of them. I feel the kid was more wrong for how he behaved than Kelce was for his he reacted but two wrongs don't make a right.
I say good on/for Kelce for what he did last night. If he hasn't already, I feel it would be good on/for the kid to own up to his mistake and make amends too.

The upside is that Penn State had a bad weekend. Their fans were really terrible to KU. Hoping some of their worst trolls shut up after today.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Once again I will say, the NFL is a farce. I don't enjoy spending 3 hours watching a game that is then decided by the refs at the end. Happens WAY too often.
P.S. I wanted the Ravens to win.

For the people advocating for the 2 point conversion to go for the win instead of OT ( on the road vs a favored team ) the Bengals tried that last night and lost.

You're a numbers guy.
I think the odds of converting a 2 point conversion are probably around 45%. So that would tell me the odds are against the team that chooses to go for two.
BUT..... Taking in to account that there is probably a 50/50 or so chance a team will lose in overtime, does it then make it advantageous to try for 2?

Moral of the story is.... If the refs help decide the winner of a game on a 2 point conversion attempt - and the them they are helping is the team playing defense, it's probably better to try for 1?

[twocoach]

Through 10 games:

Joe Burrow has 2,672 passing yards with 25 total TDs and just 6 turnovers.

Ja'Marr Chase has 981 receiving yards and 10 TDs.

Trey Hendrickson has 11 sacks.

The Bengals are 4-6. How are they so good AND so bad?

[pdub]

Their defense is bad.
They lost to the Patriots bc Jamar Chase and Tee Higgins were making statements.
Higgins is a walking IR unit ( I know, I have him on both fantasy teams ).

The NFL 2 point conversion rate was a weirdly low 31% when this article was posted on Oct. 29th. Last year's was an abnormally high 55%. Weird to see both endpoints on a decade average in back to back seasons.
