I don’t understand people who see dumb social media websites as venues for Ideological Combat and not watching a football game and having the idle thought "i bet this is how Arnold Schwarzenegger would say the words Jerry Jeudy" and then deciding to make it someone else's problem

That's real football
NFC South is on pace to be the first division since the 2020 NFC East where all four teams had negative DVOA ratings.

Funniest sack of the season: Rivers gives himself up... no one sacks him... forces him to scramble and then give himself up again

A couple good or bad choices can swing an NFL game.

But the entire game is a long series of decisions mapped out by strategists you’ll never see.

Their ability and empowerment depends on the team…and head coach.

Grab bag time!

You've seen all the Kyle Pitts stats, but did you know he also broke his own franchise record for receiving yards by a tight end in a single game?

He had 163 against the Dolphins back in 2021 and 166 last night; Tony Gonzalez is in third with 149 in 2013

Only the Falcons could get smoked by the crummy Dolphins, completely rocked by the Panthers and Bryce Young (twice!), and lose to the Jets and beat the Bucs in primetime in a game where David Sills was their best wide receiver and they set a franchise record for penalties

I can't believe they won that. I know they did it but my brain is too well-trained to accept it
