Does Kyler Murray suck a little?

Lemme just say this...If Kliff Kingsbury were Lamar's head coach these past few years, he wouldn't be in an argument over guaranteed money.

Wink being Wink right now for the Giants. Titans 1st down near midfield, one TO left for TEN, 23 seconds left and TEN needs to get in FG range. Think they'll run the ball on first and have to probably burn that last TO? Probably not. Tannehill is probably going to look down field a bit and outside the hashes. So you might want to play two or three deep and try to force something underneath and shorter.

Nope, not Wink. Giants safety wearing #36 happens to be named Tony Jefferson. At the snap he's not deep or to either side... But he's playing closer to the LOS in the middle of the field. Ball is snapped, and SAFETY Tony Jefferson sort of blitzes but doesn't fully commit. He stops at the line and sort of bounces around looking like he's spying the QB or playing a handoff.

Tannehill hits his WR is stride in single coverage down the left sideline to get in FG range. Jefferson is dancing around pointlessly behind the D line, basically serving zero purpose.

Tennessee missed the last second FG because everyone missed everything today, so Wink is off the hook. But I won't miss Wink.

Tampa leading Dallas 12-3 in the 3rd.

Dallas sucks.

[BSLChrisStoner]

TB has to feel pretty good about their chances in the NFC.

[NewMarketSean]

Dallas lacks playmakers on offense.

[CantonJester]

Dallas lacks playmakers on offense.

 

They lack discipline too. And an offensive backfield that can block. Also their Run D seems to be shoddy. 

 

But then again, the Bucs are really good.

Dallas looks bad, but they play in the NFC east and the NFC conference.  11-6 will put you in the conversation for div winner.  10-7 probably guarantees WC.  If you sniff 12 wins that's probably Home field.  In the AFC it probably takes 13-14 wins for home field and at least 11 for WC.

Looks like Dak Prescott will be out for quite a spell after suffering a thumb injury on Sunday. 

 

And did anyone notice how thin Brady looks? A few more pounds and he'll weigh less than Giselle.

I am very biased, but I've thought the Vikings have had a roster good enough to compete with GB the past few years and it just didn't come together.  After Zimmer was gone it seemed more and more evident that he had lost the players.  Not proclaiming the new coach a winner after 1 game but I wonder if just getting rid of Zimmer will give them a boost.

Rex Ryan said getting rid of Zimmer’s negativity was huge for them. Not sure if the Minnesota beat has been on that or not, but I just thought it was interesting.

Denver paid a pretty hefty price, in both draft capital and contract money, for Russell Wilson to take them to the SB. And yet with just under a minute left and the ball just inside Seattle territory they elect to run the clock down and attempt what would have been the 2nd longest FG in NFL history (64 yards) instead of letting Wilson try to convert a 4th-and-5 and then use their timeouts to move closer and try a more manageable FG. I know NFL coaches all think they're the smartest people in every room, but I'd love to hear why Hackett believes he went with the best course of action.

[mweb08]

It was really dumb imo.

[BSLChrisStoner]

No offensive play after 1:11 left on the clock? Wow.

[BSLMikeFast]

Good morning, all. This is a Justin Tucker and Lamar Jackson appreciation post. That is all

Unreal. I truly wonder if owners put prospective HCs through a hypothetical clock management scenario during the interview process. Even if Tucker was in that situation, I still go with your star QB from that far out.
