NFL 2019: Week 13

Pages

* Bengals going back to Andy Dalton at QB. Zac Taylor apparently has seen enough of Ryan Finley's Ryan Lindley impression

* Richard Sherman on the penalty for shoving a receiver in the back of the endzone:

He's right. Rule 8, Section 4, Article 7: "If the quarterback or the receiver of the snap demonstrates no further intention to pass the ball (i.e., hands off or pitches the ball to another player, throws a forward or backward pass, loses possession of the ball by a muff that touches the ground or a fumble, or if he is tackled) the restrictions on the defensive team prohibiting illegal contact, or an illegal cut block, against an eligible receiver will end, and a defensive player is permitted to use his hands, arms, or body to push, pull, or ward off an offensive receiver, pursuant to Rule 12, Section 1, Article 5. If the quarterback leaves the pocket area with the ball in his possession, the restrictions on illegal contact and an illegal cut block both end, but the restriction on defensive holding remains in effect."

* Lamar Jackson making it damn hard to keep saying Russell Wilson is MVP.

* Jaguar fans have been raging at the front office since the offseason for the team not signing Yannick Ngakoue to a long-term contract. Most of them fail to recognize how much Ngakoue is contributing to the team's back-breakingly bad run defense. Derrick Henry's big runs almost all targeted the hole that Ngakoue either got blocked out of, or ran himself out of.

* When Jameis Winston throws a ball, it never hits the ground.

* The tripping penalty called on the Cowboys that strangled their final drive and preserved the Patriots win is not a good look.

Only missed one game.

Thanks to the broadcast for reminding everyone that Josh Allen is from Firebaugh, CA, letting everyone around here once again ask, "wait, why did he not go to Fresno State?"

Friggin DeRuyter.

If Dallas doesn't pay Dak, who will be the team that does?

Once you take out the teams that have legit starting QBs, teams that have young guys they won't replace yet, ones thst have draft picks that will get them a QB in April, and teams that don't have the cap space... who is left standing?

Does Garrett last the weekend?

Jerruh Tears are aged in the finest oak caskets and when you taste them, you know the sweet sweet flavor of a billionaire's sorrow.

Here's to Jerruh.

Brady retires after another Super Bowl win and Belichick signs Dak.

Yes, but he doesn't last the off-season.

I mostly think he survives through the season because I don't think Jerry makes Rod Marinelli a head coach of the Cowboys.

So the Falcons suck again?

Eli Apple needs to find a side hustle.

Anyone that signs Younghoe Koo to kick for them deserves what they get.

There is talk that Garrett may have interest in the Giants if available. Please no..

They changed up their defense, teams picked up on it and were now back to the typical Falcons from earlier this season.

So he can waste another stud RBs career?

Guess I can't count on Atlanta to hang a loss on one of the other NFC teams in a position to chase playoff homefield.

True but Shurmur is already covering that.

Maybe he'll do only onside kicks for the rest of the season?

Alright maybe I need to take back a little bit of shade thrown at Younghoe Koo. The YouTube trick kicker can at least kick onsides really well.

There was a time when teams sometimes spent a roster spot on a kickoff specialist. Maybe an onsides kick specialist isn't so crazy?

Well, we're about to see another attempt...

Edit: LOL

OK I'm sold, I'm spending that roster spot.

Koo koo for onside kicks

Going back to Drake, if Arizona is smart, they will re-sign him. And give him the ball, because David Johnson isn't actually all that great a ballcarrier, not nearly enough for people to still act like he's a guy that demands the RB1 workload.

Yesterday: Kenyan Drake officially passes David Johnson on Cardinals' depth chart

I assume this is a good indication that Arizona recognizes Drake's value.

Miami was stupid. Arizona, it appears, might not be.

Drake is a better fit than David Johnson in Klingsbury's offense. I don't know what to make of David Johnson at this point, but its been a long time since he was effective and healthy.

Listen, at some point the complete and utter greatness of anyone who attended Northern Iowa is going to burn out. It's just hard to manage that much awesome.

Relevant to my ranting last thread, saw this in an Athletic article posted today:

Apparently it's also "interception" and "stiff arm" in German. Football's really not helping me pick up non-English languages.

Terrelle Pryor was stabbed last night and is in critical condition.

Upgraded to stable.

Freddie Kitchens spotted around town wearing a "Pittsburgh started it" T-shirt.

What a doofus.

Also charged with assault, while the woman who stabbed him has been charged with attempted murder. So, quality holiday weekend all around.
