I was probably happier about the outcome of the Saints/Packers game than most Packers fans.

I feel bad for the fans (at least most of them).
I feel bad for Rodgers, especially if he never plays again.
I feel bad for the other players on the team.
I even feel bad for the coaches.

But I don't feel bad for the "Jets".

I thoroughly enjoy the Jets being what they are and everything that happens to "them".

2022 Broncos after 3 games:

• 2-1 with a 1 point loss on the road in Seattle week 1
• +7 PD, top 3 defense, tied for 1st in the division

2023 Broncos after 3 games:

• 0-3 with a 1 point loss at home to the Raiders in week 1
• -53 PD, dead last defense, dead last in the division

Just spoke to @Bengals HC Zac Taylor and asked about the status of QB Joe Burrow tonight. He said “we aren’t ready to reveal a decision just yet and will wait a couple more hours before we make a call” #mnf @ESPNNFL

Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner said after the game against the Patriots that Mac Jones hit him in the “private parts.”This video sent from a league source is a closer view. pic.twitter.com/UTayhuu6iB

What an a-hole.

#Titans CB Kristian Fulton is the only CB in the NFL where QBs have a perfect passer rating of 158.3 when targeted pic.twitter.com/6SKUv2YGIV

Targeted 8 times, has surrendered 7 receptions for 165 yards (23.6 YPA) and 1 TD. 0 INTs and 0 Passes Defended.

I think Mac Jones is a dirty player (especially for a QB), but I'm not seeing anything from that gif that shows him hitting Gardner in the "private parts."

Joe Namath, speaking on @TMKSESPN, says he would trade Zach Wilson: "I've seen enough of Zach Wilson." Namath says Wilson's performance was "disgusting," adding there were no positives. Wow. #Jets

Trade him to who? For what? He isn't even worth a bag of Doritos. No one is going to gamble on his 5th year option. The only option is to literally walk away from him, straight release. But then who are the Jets putting in? You think they're better off with Tim Boyle? The guy has 100 attempts in the last 5 years combined. Even Matt Ryan said he wouldn't come back to play if it was for the Jets. No one wants to touch that hot garbage right now.

Makes $17M per year. Wwwwhhhaaaaaa!

This is what happens when you put all your Apples into one barrel with a 40 year old QB not named Tom Brady.

Yeah, I watched that clip a few times and it didn't look to me like he either "hit" him or "made contact with 'private parts.'"

Sounds like Sauce just wanted some media time.

I also hate when people mess with a video to the point of making it worthless and then try to use it to "show" something.

• Zoomed in and cropped more than necessary
• Replay controls messed with (slow mo forward, then rewinds before the event is over, pauses at an odd time)
• Filmed the video off a monitor with their cell phone instead of using the original actual video file

Justin Fields after the Chiefs game: "I'm looking at it like the big picture, life in general to be honest with you. I think this past week has had me kind of look at it like: What are the important things in life?"

Jesus Christ, are we back to insinuating things about what Williams may have done? Or is this his version of "seeing ghosts"? Having an existential crisis from how shit they have been.

It's almost what you would expect to hear from Rodgers at the end of a season. Questioning life and what's important after another season of not winning and getting fucking old.

Edit: Comments on Reddit:
"He about to Andrew Luck this shit."
"We've crushed the kid's soul."
"Me after watching a jets game every week."
"Bro get him out of there this is just sad now."
"Justin knows Caleb is gonna end up replacing him next year."
"What being a Chicago Bear does to a QB. A tale as old as time."
"Caleb is about to be a sixth year senior waiting for Chicago to stop tanking."

"Man I suck. Football really isn't all that important."

Joe Burrow is playing tonight, per league sources @Enquirer

Since the 2-point conversion was adopted in 1994, the Raiders are the only NFL team to attempt a field goal in the last 3:00 of the 4th quarter when down by exactly 8 points with less than 5 yards to go for a first down (or TD).

Excuse me miss, I'm gonna go grab my creeper out of the garage & be right back...

I think most fans know Brees carried the team on the field, but Payton got a lot of credit in the media for being an "offensive guru" and was often considered one of the top coaches. Just look at the fact the Broncos traded for him & how everyone in the media thought their woes were over...

I posted a graphic last year, but Payton and McCarthy (stat wise) are identical coaches.

A very good example of how the media loves certain QBs and coaches regardless of facts and how the media hates (or "loves to rip on") certain QBs and coaches regardless of facts.

Agreed

Travis Kelce has had a busy 24 hours:

• 7 catches for 69 yards and a TD
• Gained 300,000+ social media followers
• +400% increase in merchandise sales
• Top 5 selling jersey in the NFL

Lol. No kidding.

I saw in a game last year, where after making a bad play, he came over to bench, closed his eyes, and started meditating

Will determine if the game is watchable or unwatchable. The Bengals' backup QB makes Zach Wilson look like Tua.

Albino?

Their defense is fun to watch. If Watson continues to make strides and Hunt and Ford play like men possessed, they are legit.

Well it is a rule. Just because he refuses to follow it doesn’t change the fact it’s a rule.

He was called out for it and they made it a point to enforce it (at least of him). If he doesn’t wasn’t want to get flagged for it then all he has to do is stop doing it.

Bucs going to lose this one. They are just outclassed.

Yeah, it's a shame.  I was rooting for Baker.

No worries, I may eat my words on that interception.

Somebody put butter on the ball in Tampa ?

Rain generally has that effect.

Definitely. Eagles again aren't even playing THAT great but it's obvious.

Zach Wilson was crucified for it. I doubt Fields will though because of reasons.

Listening to sports radio shows, it's pretty much universal that people are calling for him to be replaced.

just curious since I saw a tweet about hurts being sick before the game. when's the last time covid really effected a game? I'm old enough to remember when the broncos couldn't have an extra day or two to have a real QB, and you don't hear shit about covid at all in terms of anything with players and games...

Two years in a row something has screwed up his pre season. Not playing starters at all in the pre season doesn't seem like such a good idea.

They should play some IMO but there is a risk. Jordy Nelson missed an entire year because of a pre-season game injury.

Bengals Rams a FG fest

‘Fitting Name for Oppressors’: Washington Commanders Accused of Defamation by Native American Group in Federal Lawsuit

A Native American group is filing suit against the Washington Commanders, accusing the NFL franchise of defamation and suppressing Native American history.

The suit, filed in the United States District Court of North Dakota on behalf of the Native American Guardian’s Association (NAGA), charges the Commanders and their Owner, Josh Harris with civil rights violations, civil conspiracy, and defamation in an alleged bid to smother Native American history.

NAGA garnered national headlines this year by running an extremely successful online petition that earned over 150,000 signatures.

Now, the Native American group is taking aim at the team that claimed to want to change its name to avoid offending Native Americans and letting them know that they’re offended: Not by the name Redskins, but by changing the name to Commanders.

And now they want to make the team pay for it.

NAGA is seeking $1.6 million in damages from the Commanders. In addition, the suit focuses on the powerful, Soros-backed National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) for aiding in the suppression of Native American history and the use of imagery that depicts Native Americans.

The suit highlights how the Washington Redskins were the only NFL team to honor “an actual Native American.”

“The name ‘Redskins’ carries deep cultural, historical, and emotional significance, honoring the bravery, resilience, and warrior spirit associated with Native American culture,” the suit states.

For their part, the Commanders believe NAGA’s claims are baseless.

“We believe the complaint is without merit, and we will address the matter in court,” a Commanders spokesperson told Fox News.

The claim that the Redskins and specifically their logo honor “an actual Native American” is not of passing significance. NAGA hopes to prove in court that the team’s positive portrayal of a historically significant Native American chief shows that the team was promoting Native American history and not engaging in anything hateful or demeaning.

As Fox News reports, “The franchise adopted the name Redskins in 1933 and, since 1972, the team logo was a portrait of celebrated late Blackfoot Chief John Two Guns White Calf.

“Among other contributions to Native American history, White Calf forced the federal government to recognize and honor Blackfoot tribal claims.

“The team’s original name and logo were inspired by 17th-century Lenni Lenape Chief Tammany, celebrated by colonial troops who fought the American Revolution as ‘the Patron Saint of America.'”

Finally a TD from Mixon

Carter and Cox gonna have a field day next week...
