NFL 2021: The Week 14 thread

Taken from an article by Tony Pauline, someone whose writing I have always found credible (and is ol' Vic Ketchman's go-to draft guy):

This would absolutely be the image that perfectly captures the Jaguars 2021 season if it wasn't for Urban's finger------>butt picture.

All I see is DPI on the CB. Beautifully designed play by the offense.

It is only fitting that this meme originated in a Jags v Titans game:

Jags/Titans is always trash football. It's trash when the Jags lose and it's usually much more trash when the Jags win.

I still think the NFL should lean into that and make it an annual Thursday Night game.

Really disappointed the refs didn't call a 15-yard penalty on an obvious cheap low block there by #10.

Yeah, clearly don't care about player safety.

Urban is producing this sh*t too rapidly, I can't keep up.

MNF on ABC tonight. Sucks no Manning Cast, but might check in a bit.

EDIT: Wait we need to cheer for the Cardinals right? 49ers can still catch the Rams and win tiebreaker in week 18 with a win. Damn.

Omicron is gonna blow through everywhere soon enough. Might already be going through the NFL...

(I Mena other than the one confirmed person. I don't think they're sequencing everyone, all the time.)

Montez Sweat says you're welcome.

All I can say is the Jags look like a mess pretty much on every play. WRs struggling to get open, OL struggling at everything and way, way too little pass pro for Jesus.

It's onside week!

Yeah 2 in 2 days. Oh well

What. The. Hell. Was. That.

That was not notably solid clock management, Arizona.

That tape shows why I haven't soured on Lawrence, even with 4 INTs on it. There's obviously rookie mistakes on his part, but there's so many near misses and minor things that should be cleaned up by any decent coaching staff.

He doesn't look as flawed at fundamentals as Zach Wilson. He's not struggling to get the ball out of his hands like Justin Fields (12.5% sack rate! Even with that Jags line, Lawrence is at 5.1%). He's still this tool set waiting to be built into a starting caliber NFL QB.

He's leading the league in INTs, but only because Zach and Fields both missed time - his 3.0% INT rate is eclipsed by Zach's 3.5% and Fields' 4.3%.

But none of that will matter if they don't get a reasonable coaching staff in there for 2022.

Browns place 8 players on COVID list....

Woah boy. Going to be an interesting stretch run. Good thing we have an extra game this year so teams can make up the COVID game they might have to forfeit.

Seeing potentially a dozen, so far, and there are plenty of days to come for more positives.

Should be noted that all eight were vaccinated, and could still play Saturday.

Throw Stefanski and Baker on the COVID pile; do any of the concession stand workers know the playbook?

Only Freddie Kitchens play book.

Schefter tweeted last night that 76 players covid tested positive in the last 2 days. Probably will go up today.

NFL protocols aren't ready for what's about to hit them with Omicron. UK govt just said they believe it's four times as infectious as Delta, which basically makes it the most infectious thing ever (seriously).

Most of the cases will be asymptomatic and only show up because they're being swabbed all the time. (We saw this in MLB back in 2020.)

Edit: BTW, Manchester U canceled a football game. I expect there'll be a few NFL games canceled between now and playoffs.

Wait, that's not PJ Walker?

Matt Rhule's going to play him Sunday. Cam's going to start, PJ Walker has the two-minute offense (starting with four minutes left in each half because some f**king HC can't count or keep his stories straight) and this kid will run all the 3rd-and-long packages.

Haha, no. You don't see this kid getting flushed out of the pocket and flinging it 30 yards downfield to no one in particular now, do you.

Oh no, that must be so terrible...
