NFL 2022 Regular Season Thread.

I remember the moment they handed Gruden that insane $100 million contract for 10 seasons. There was no way he could justify it unless he won Super Bowls right off the bat to make the deal worth it. The fact he totaled the team front office wise was just wild to watch with his trades.

The Washington email scandal he was mixed up in didn’t help matters any.

I think this is all based on bets placed. So it's the logic of the masses, not an analysis of the teams' strengths.

Yeah. I hoping my Cowboys win, but I just don't see it.

I think we all knew that at best, he'd be coaching for half that decade. In fact, I'm pretty sure if I went back into the NFL offseason thread from five years ago, we all said that, for sure.

Josh McDaniels may be the first head coach I've ever seen that's safe in his position solely cause his owner is too poor to fire him

I wonder if Josh is trying to blame Gruden's front office mismanagement for the current woes. On the plus side for him, if he is capable of righting the ship with enough time, he has it.

Saquon Barkley will reach 1,000 yards rushing today against Detroit’s lousy defense.

Which begs the question, might the Giants be putting too much on Barkley’s plate? Is he the kind of back who can handle that sort of workload?

Taylor Heinekie was named the starter in Washington going forward. Ending Carson Wentz career there it appears.

Jeff Saturday as Coach has the Colts ahead of the Eagles. This is wild folks...

[Kirby101]

It's still 3-3 NE vs NY. It should be 9-3 to 15-3. But conditions have cost NE at least 3 FGs.
It will be an undeserved win if the Jets pull it out. But a win is a win is a win. Total yrds is 300 to 90.


And...with 20 seconds left, the Pats return a punt for a TD. And get this, it is the first TD punt return this season in any game.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

This is one of those deals where you have to think...did anyone believe Jeff Saturday would take the Eagles to the brink of a loss ? I don't think anyone believed this coaching change to a dude with no real coaching experience would work out. He won his 1st game last week , nearly knocked off a great Eagles team this week.

This could set a trend for new coaching hires if Saturday can actually get Indy to stay this competitive and possibly win more games.

[Kirby101]

Saturday was a Pro Bowl Center, and the O Line was a big problem for the Colts. It's not hard to believe he knows the game, and they had a good staff.

I can't say I'm the least bit surprised.

Dallas is trampling the Vikings 37-3. There are times when every match up favors one team. It's so bad they just switched over to the Bengals Steelers game. 24-23

We know what Skip Bayless is going to talk about tomorrow

Dallas has a very hard question ahead in the off season. Tony Pollard clearly is the better RB at this point. He can do so much in this era of offense games wise. He's got over 100+ yards receiving and is very good in the backfield too. His only real issue is blocking as someone detailed but he's so good in what he does...he's the better RB.

He's also gonna command a bigger deal in free agency next year as he will be 25 years old and hitting his prime years before 30. Its very slim odds Dallas can keep him and pay Elliott his huge salary. Elliott's deal has 3-4 more seasons on it and has a big cap hit if released in dead money.
