seriously? throwing it away on 4th down? cut him now, fug

damnit, give him that catch

No way he goes to a team with an OC as a HC, he'd go somewhere with a defensive minded coach so he can just run the offense how he pleases. Wouldn't surprise me to see him end up somewhere like with the Lions

Should have been the gameplay from the start He had a nice catch on that play that was called back too.

Yep, hope for a PI call to then be able to kick a FG That half was just embarrassing

Will they still do a halftime after all this or will they just do halftime as if it's in between quarters and take a long commercial break?

The Florida based teams really should never open the season at home in Week 1

Arizona's game was also delayed 2 some hours last night as well Now this Apparently I must have pissed of Thor this week, sorry Greg

I mean, what do you want them to show you, nothing going on in our game because it's in a delay? Of course they're going to show something

Seriously? Kyler getting sick last night before a game they should win easily Do I just start Jordan Love in what should be a high scoring game and not risk it? What a way to start the season, lol

I'm just hoping they put Hunter on T-Mac in the redzone so we can get the NFL version of this

Uh, what now? Horn Jr listed as 3rd on the outside instead of as the backup slot, which is currently left blank? Can't tell if that's just some weird oversight or the team taking a shot at Horn Jr and saying they feel he's playing like a 3rd stringing despite us not even having a backup slot right now.

I swear I just saw a report yesterday that was the literal opposite, how he stayed in Charlotte this offseason and completely re-vamped his body and conditioning and was looking great because of it.

Is he healthy enough yet to be the starting slot in Week 1? If not, does that mean Horn Jr is going to be our #3 in week 1 with Moore being #4? Talk about going from a position of strength a week ago to one with big question marks right now. Overpaying to get T-Mac in my auction draft Monday night is starting to look much more appealing right now than it did a week ago as well. I figured there were enough mouths to feed and he was still a rookie, but now, he's looking like he could see a seriously high number of targets this year.

That happened to me once, hahaha Because our agency's main client had huge layoffs, we had to have our own batch of them. The agency really didn't think through who they were cutting and why, it was purely based on the department/team you worked in. After a month, they called me and said they wanted me back in the same role but on another team. I told them I was already getting interviews/offers for jobs/salaries much better than I had there as they should have given them to me years before. In the end, I got a 2 title bump, a 20% raise, and started the day after my severance from the layoffs ended (which was sizable as I had been there 5 years). So I got a big promotion and raise to get a free 6 week paid vacation before starting on the new team. The problem was that I turned down a job that I knew I should have taken instead, as I knew it wasn't a good fit on that team for me. But I was arrogant and liked knowing the whole office would know they had to give me a huge raise given my new title and I took it purely for that reason, and of course it then went exactly like I thought and I hated it.

No he didn't, he was perfectly happy here until the Vikings badly needed a WR and showed interest. He didn't "want out" as you say, he just wanted this opportunity once it arose. I still think we should have played hardball and demanded more for him, not because he was worth it in a trade, but because he was worth more to to our team than the return we got for him.

He took a paycut AFTER he left. But PLEASE let it come out that the Vikings and Thielen's agent had a secret discussion we didn't permit about Thielen taking a paycut if they made the trade. Would end up netting us another draft pick in the end.

And this is why you don't trade Thielen away for peanuts, SMH

That's sometimes the case when it comes to the X's and O's of the game, and in film study. But when it comes down to the little things like hand/foot movement to beat X, Y, or Z coverage off the line or any other number of nuanced like that, basically the things players are discussing on the sideline between series, that's where the vets come into place. Those are the things that if the coaches who didn't have a ton of success were good at, they'd likely have had more success in their careers. But either way, none of that changes that coaches can only do so much, having vets to lean on is imperative to young players in their early years, it's not really even debatable.

Unless he's 1,000%, just sit him an extra week at this point to let him get his legs back under him. I want to see him out there as much as the next guy, but this was a serious thing and I'd rather wait an extra week than put him out one day too early and risk something going wrong, play the long game for once.

God, these posts are really starting to piss me off If we're relying on Moore, Idzik, and Canales to carry that weight, then we're royally screwing over our young WR room. It's not that those guys can't help with some of it, but these young promising WRs are going to miss out on a lot of learning that can only be provided by the vets on the team. You do realize that coaches spend ZERO time in the locker room, right? They are only in there just before games and at halftime, but the rest of the week, they have their own locker room, they only spend time with the players on the field and in the film room. There is soooooo much time that you're leaving unaccounted for where players are working together to get better. Players are constantly talking about their game and how they can improve while they're in the locker room. If you think career long special teamer David Moore is going to be able to carry that water in the locker room, then you're sorely and woefully mistaken. Even beyond that, if a coach pulls a player aside to give advice between series, that still means there are 4-5 other WRs who aren't getting individual advice, where that's normally a time a vet like Thielen is going over with them what he's seeing out there and how they can do X, Y, or Z to do A, B, or C better on the next drive.

Packers in Dallas for SNF in Week 4 is going to be wild

Never, and it doesn't have to be an old grizzled vet, sometimes a vet can learn something from a young player too. Do you not see players talking to each other between plays, quarters, on the bench, wherever, in EVERY sport? It's what players do, especially the great ones, they're always working on their craft and learning tips from others to better themselves. So when your entire receiving room outside of one player, who has mostly played special teams in his career, has played 1 season or less in the NFL, it's not a lot of experience there in the locker room and on the sideline and is a tad concerning in regards to the proper growth of all these young WRs with great potential.

So me "putting my foot down" would be me spending more money each season to watch the games without sound at the bar? Do you not see how dumb that sounds? Streaming a game here or there isn't tough, but doing it for 17 games a season, when more than half the time the quality is terrible if it's even working at all, and it's just an awful experience to follow your favorite team. It's literally spending at minimum an extra $100 a season to have a worse viewing experience if I were to "put my foot down" as you say, and then don't get to also be able to easily watch all my fantasy players as a bonus on top. I spent at over a dozen years going to the bar every Sunday to watch us play, so now that I get to watch from the comfort of my couch, plus get all the other games, and spend less money doing so, yea, I'm going to pay that money without a second thought, it's a great deal for me and tons of other fans.
