NFL 2024 Regular Season

[LordMortis]

He's done for the season for sure. Possibly longer. Shit.

Radio said Campbell said "he'll try to be back for the Superbowl" and was serious. I don't see it but I do see him being a fighter. 16 weeks for a break to heal plus rehab says to me serious or not, it's 2025 and hope he's well, generally speaking.

[msteelers]

I heard 6 to 8 months for Hutch. I just hope he can get back healthy as I really enjoy watching him play.

[RunningMn9]

Bills only favored by 1 at Jets. I think I would eat the point on that one.

Gimme the Jets and the point!

Tom Brady officially a part owner of the Raiders after NFL owners approve it

Brady's group, which includes Knighthead Capital co-founder Tom Wagner, agreed to buy about a 10 percent stake in the Raiders in May of 2023. It was held up initially because the NFL's finance committee said Brady was being sold his share at a price that was much lower than the actual valuation of the franchise. The purchase price was adjusted in February, clearing the way for the sale to go through.
...
The complication to Brady being an owner is his work with Fox as a broadcaster, which started this season. He reportedly isn't allowed to sit in on production meetings or attend practices in preparation for his broadcasts.

That was my instant thought

[Isgrimnur]

If it keeps him off my broadcasts, I'm for it. And it's another reason I can add to not rooting for a Las Vegas NFL team.

[Jeff V]

The Bears are 4-2! But still in last place.

[Unagi]

The Bears are 4-2! But still in last place.

I know it will ruin your day, but we aren't.

[RMC]

And the Browns have thrown in the towel already. Traded our WR, who is having a bad year, but he has had good years here. I think it is our QB that is the issue, but the ownership made a horrible trade, and will not let the couch sit him. Of course it is not like we have a decent QB sitting on the benh anyway.... Sigh.. I had at least hoped for okay football this year, but instead I get my Sundays back and can ignore the football team.

[ImLawBoy]

The Bears are 4-2! But still in last place.

I know it will ruin your day, but we aren't.

The Bears are tied for last in the NFC North. Minnesota is 5-0, Detroit is 4-1, and Green Bay and the Bears are tied for 3rd/last at 4-2.

[Jeff V]

Tie for last is still in last place. And we have been incapable of beating the Packers for three generations now, so it really is what the standings say it is...they are in last.

[Unagi]

Winning streak for the tie-breaker.

[Jeff V]

Winning streak for the tie-breaker.

Tell that to ESPN, they are the ones who have the Bears in last (and I don't think winning streak is viable tiebreaker in any case! )

Jay Cutler - Arrested last night in Tenn for DU and possession of a firearm.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/fo ... 3e6f&ei=11




It strikes me, that is a lot like his time here in Chicago as a QB... Drunken driving and possession of a fire arm.

Man, I hated that guy.

Tie breaking procedures

Two Clubs
1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.

The Packers are 0-1 in the division and the Bears are 0-0, so I would have thought that would put the Bears a half game ahead of the packers. But nfl.com also has the Packers ranked higher so I must be wrong.

[Jaymann]

Suspicious betting lines:

Texans at Packers -2.5: I would take Texans plus the points.

Panthers at Commanders -9.5: I would take Panthers plus the points.

Chiefs at 49ers -2: I would take Chiefs plus the points.

Jets -2 at Steelers: I would take Steelers plus the points.

[RunningMn9]

Panthers at Commanders -9.5: I would take Panthers plus the points.

I might take the Commanders at twice that. Would take TEN and the points though!

[Jaymann]

Wow, that's some resiliency by the Lions to go down 10-0 and lead at half time 21-10.

[RunningMn9]

The idea that BUF was going to win this by 10+ was insane. Offense that cannot play within structure against one of the best defenses in the NFL? Easy money.

[LordMortis]

Been working around the house all day today. Totally forgot today was Sunday. Such is the life of the unemployed. Off to TV land!!!!

[Jaymann]

Nice win by the Lions. But I call BS on the final play. The Vikings were rewarded with one more play when they were called for illegal formation when they tried to spike the ball with 1 second left. Whatever happened to the 10 second runoff for offensive penalties? By that logic any player on the field could run up and hike the ball to themselves and spike it. Illegal formation! 5 yard penalty but they keep the ball and stop the clock.

[LordMortis]

I don't know the rules well enough to call shenanigans but it seems odd to me that you should be rewarded for committing a penalty. Tactics are tactics, though. If them's the rules, that's how you play. It was a hard watch coming in at up 21 10 in the 3rd and then just watching feel like it was instantly slipping away the moment I turned on the TV. Cardiac cats... (Or maybe I'm not made for watching sports)

I'll be tuning in to Grossi this week to see how he interprets refs call allowing a final chance for the Vikings to take the game back.

[Jaymann]

Almost sounds like a Belichik secret weapon.

Browns QB Watson suffers likely season-ending Achilles injury. Teammates upset some fans cheered

The embattled quarterback was carted off the field Sunday with a right Achilles tendon injury he suffered on a noncontact play against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Following Cleveland’s 21-14 loss, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said it “looks like” Watson’s injury is serious and will end his season. The team was still awaiting test results, but all indications are that Watson won’t play again in 2024.

Watson, who has not lived up to expectations in his two-plus seasons with Cleveland, went down without being touched on a second-down play with 1:26 left in the first half. He dropped back to pass at the Cincinnati 21-yard line. When he planted, his right leg buckled and he dropped to the ground.

Cheering when someone is hurt is not cool. But the fans(myself included) have been done with his horrid play for a long time now. He is awful, and the trade to bring him here was the worst. So while the fans should not have cheered, he should give most of his money back, so let's call it even.

[Jaymann]

They are now in a battle with the Panthers for the first draft pick.

They were waiting for me to post that so they could make me look bad.

[Jaymann]

Suspicious betting lines:

Texans at Packers -2.5: I would take Texans plus the points. LOL Texans wins with the points

Panthers at Commanders -9.5: I would take Panthers plus the points. Panthers lose by more than 3 times the line.

Chiefs at 49ers -2: I would take Chiefs plus the points. Chiefs dominate.

Jets -2 at Steelers: I would take Steelers plus the points. Steelers dominate

Jaymann 3 Vegas 1

The Patriots just said hold my beer.

Big grats to the Steelers.

Man I -love- watching Rodgers lose.


Did he blame anyone after the game for the loss, again, this time?

He's an awful person from all reports/aworn affidavits and he was an awful trade and an epically dumb signing. You never want to see a player hurt, even him, but Browns fans should get a bit of slack for how management has fucked them over. Also, I doubt anyone in the stands knew the extent of the injury. It was away from contact.

Yeah, I feel bad, as some people are wondering if he will ever be the player that he was. Hate to see someone's career end because of an injury. But the entire team is mismanaged, hell our number 2 QB was actually not brought to play, they brought our QB 3 to play back-up for no real reason, supposedly the GM told the couch to scrarch QB 2 for QB 3 on Friday, and they did not make the change and tell anyone until Saturday. I mean this team is awful.

Oh yeah, they just got sued because they want to move the stadium out of downtown and build a "Jerry Jones-esque" stadium by the airport. Honestly, not a bad idea, but the city and state are pissed about it. Sigh.. Basically a loser orginization and that comes out in the worst ways by the fans.

[pr0ner]

The Commanders somehow have scored more points than anyone in the NFL and have the best point differential.

I'm not sure what to do with my NFL team playing good football.

Achilles Rupture could well suck up the last 2 years on his contract before he sees the field again - it took Klay Thompson over a year to get back...

[Isgrimnur]

Rodgers was back in one.

Watson had discussed undergoing the “speed bridge” procedure that Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers had, a league source told cleveland.com, but that no long appears to be an option. Rodgers’ surgery was performed by Watson’s shoulder surgeon, Dr. Neal ElAttrache of the Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Job Institute in Los Angeles.

ElAttrache got Rodgers back on the practice field within a remarkable 77 days, about four months quicker than with the conventional Achilles repair.

Watson sucks, so no one is going to care if he doesn't come back. Heck the insurance is most likely better for ownership if he stays unable to play for 2025/2026.

He said it was Saleh’s fault.

Just kidding, he blamed the media.
