Everyone going nuts about the 70 points in the Dolphins game. But hey, they played the Broncos so that's not surprising. The real game of the week happened when the Cardinals destroyed the Cowboys... the Cardinals!
 
Agreed. I watched the Patriots v Jets game highlights and Mac Jones was far from impressive, if he carries on like this Zappe might get some games.

Edit: Although I just heard that Zappe was waived a few weeks ago and Mac Jones is the only QB on the Patriots roster?

He was released and then signed on to the Patriots practice squad, so he's still available.
 
NFL is looking into Sauce Gardner’s claim that Mac Jones hit him in the “private parts”

I don't know if there's any credence to this accusation, but Mac Jones has done other questionable things, and so I think this is something that fits his behavior. The more I see him play the less I like him. He lacks character and maturity and isn't markedly improving the Patriots, but instead causing distractions.
What other questionable things has he done?

Is he a spoiled brat athlete... a k a a modern day professional athlete?


Tom Brady was really good, huh?

As a Dolphins fan, I just assume that they will be the best team not to make the playoffs (to ensure the worst possible draft pick) or the first team eliminated from. This has been true for most of the last couple of decades.

Nope.

Dolphins vs Eagles SB...
 
What do you guys think of Kap practically begging to be added onto the Jets practice squad. Without getting into PRSI, his prior actions were such that no owner wants to deal with media clown show that would result in his signing, nevermind the blowback from many fans.

As for his abilities, I think the practice squad is his best shot at returning, he's been out of the game some 5 years, a lot has changed in both the game, and his abilities (both from aging and not using his talents)
 
Dolphins vs Eagles SB...
I think too much is being made of the 70 points, and while I don't want to take anything away from the fins, there's a whole season left to play and I think that 70 point game could hang around their neck like an albatross. Meaning they may have difficulty living up to unrealistic expectations and every team will be gunning for them.

The proof will be in the pudding, but they're a young team with a lot of pressure, not all teams can handle that.

A coach would have to be crazy to want Kap on the team. I can't imagine anything worse for a team that wants to focus on the games and winning. Now, winning is largely off the table for the Jets, so an owner may want to generate headlines and hype for an otherwise lost season. But I'm not sure the race-based lawsuits/allegations will be worth it when Kap fails, as he undoubtedly would.

The Bills should be a good test (but that opening week loss was painful).

Yeah, and the AFC East always plays each other really hard. I find that many young teams play very flat after an decisive victory and its really up to the coaching staff to keep them on point. Lets see how they respond after such a huge victory.

The week after a legendary offensive performance (70 points, 700 yards) vs a legendary defensive performance (9 sacks, 5 turnovers, pick 6, leading RB negative yards). Should be a good game.

You know, watching Sunday Night Football...I like Taylor Swift, I'm a fan, but I'm not sure if I'm watching NFL coverage or TMZ. The networks would lose their bleep if the media coverage constantly referred to the love lives of one of their female reporters and made jokes about it. Enough already.

Agreed. One or two reports about it and then let it drop. I’m watching football not a soap opera.

Well, at least they can properly explain the basics everyone needs to understand. 😂
