NFL 2018: Week 11

Bortles is currently on the longest streak of throws without an interception in his career.

He's also playing Captain Checkdown football, so...

Jags protecting their lead by running Fournette into the line for 0 years every play, then hoping the defense holds Pittsburgh after the punt.

I don't think that strat worked so good...

It sure didn't.

Jags played offense like they had an emergency quarterback on the field.

This is what I threw a fit in the offseason about. Sign Teddy. Draft Lamar (who ran for more yards today than Bortles threw). Don't go into this season doing nothing at QB and hoping it works out.

The Niners have better QB play from their undrafted practice squad QB than the Jags do the guy they gave an extension to.

Jags "likely to consider trading Jalen Ramsey in the offseason.

49ers fans already jumping on the idea of being the team to acquire him.

Let me tell you, I would appreciate that Jags->Niners transaction much more than the last one.

Spoiler:

OK technically it was the one before the last one, because the last one was Sheldon Day and he's a good underrated rotational DT.

First thought: WTF

Second thought: What's the worst that can happen? Go 0-16?

I fully support the idea of the Browns taking the "it can't get worse than Hue" thought to its logical extreme.

Not even kinda.

I REALLY want to see it!

It's not like she's gonna go 0-16.

Lamar is undefeated, woohoo!

I don't read posts here, I only make them.

Filthy skimmer

Good god, Carolina. WHAT HAPPENED?!

Tampa Bay needs to just embrace the WoodStrock QB platoon wholeheartedly.

I'm imagining the all-neo-con coaching staff for Condi:

OC: Rummy
OL: Richard Armitage
WR: Wolfowitz
RB: Bill Kristol

DC: Cheney
LB: Eliot Cohen
DL: Colin Powell
CB: Dubya

Byron Leftwich already a better offensive coordinator than Mike McCoy. David Johnson over 140 total yards, Rosen with 3 TD passes.

Granted, it is against the Raiders.

At this point, I think I'm just cheering for a Saints/Chiefs Super Bowl.

The Chargers getting to the Super Bowl without any fans would be fun too.

Good thing Dougie P cashed in on his book deal last year. Has a Super Bowl champion ever fallen apart so fast?

Denver in the 1999 season, finishing 6-10, is the last team to fail to reach .500 after a Super Bowl win.

That, of course, was after winning two Super Bowls in a row, and having a Hall of Fame quarterback retire in the offseason.

Even the Bronco team that followed Peyton Manning's retirement reached 9-7 the following year with Trevor Siemian at QB.

Two teams since 2000 have reached only 8-8 the following year (2013 Ravens, 2006 Steelers) and three others reached 9-7 but failed to make a wildcard (2016 Broncos, 2012 Giants, 2010 Steelers)

I learned that she's a Browns fan. My only reaction is that her approach to international politics now makes sense. If I was a Browns fan, I'd want to see the world burn, too.

Theories in the house are that he's really suffering the loss of (two? one?) assistant coaches from last year now becoming full-fledged coaches of their own. Garion brought up the fact that Eagles defense is basically completely injured and needs to play carefully lest further injuries be risked.

I mean, that's the "glass half-full" look at the situation. Regardless, when my evening Church service was over and someone told me the score was 7-45 Saints last they checked, I thought they were messing with me. Then they pulled the final score up on their phone.

I knew it would be bad, but man... I am so glad I was at Church instead of watching that slaughter.

1) If this happens, I'm out.

2) The NFL is the only line of work where hiring Condi Rice is the progressive more.

I think the part that stinks is that it feels like a publicity stunt vs actually being progressive.

I'm sure Condi would be better than some of the previous Browns coaches but that's not exactly a high bar.

Wouldn't a head office job CEO? GM? Czar of not sucking? make more sense?

That dude is a beast. I love watching him in the blue and orange.

On that play Riley Reiff looked like I did when I played tackle against our star DE in highschool: like he didn't belong on the same field as Mack.

Honestly, this is starting to remind me of the Packers acquiring Reggie White, except much younger.

I don't think it would be, not entirely. Perhaps talking about it now is a publicity stunt, but she is someone the organization would like to have. Bringing her in for the head coach job is the excuse to talk to her about joining the organization, not actually being the head coach.

It's the single most important position on the defense. There's nothing more important than getting to the QB.

Of course you trade him away in his prime. That's just what you do.

You guys will all look stupid when Chucky drafts two Mack's and a Reggie with all his first rounders.

That was a damn entertaining first half of football.

I wonder if the kickers are thinking to themselves if those would have gone in at Estadio Azteca.

I fully expect he'll get himself a Mack a Mack and a Reggie with those picks.
