Week 9 NFL

[Vanimal46]

Ravens vs Dolphins tonight 

[Vanimal46]

Sounds like the Kyler Murray era might be over in Arizona. Which is the correct call, he is not going to lead a team to a championship. I just didn’t think they had the balls to do it

Ravens getting right back on track just in time to play us next week 👍🏼

As expected. I’m curious if this is McDaniel’s last game as Miami’s HC? Getting smoked at home will do that to a guy

I don't disagree...but what makes you think that?

[gunnarthor]

Jared Allen made this team. Uff-da.

Yeah, I don't see any news except that he's back at practice and expected to start Monday.

The Cardinals are a thrifty team, I don't think they'd cut him even after this season, that's a lot of money to eat. Pretty low base pay for a QB though, maybe they can trade him to a team that won't be able to draft a good QB next year.

I saw this tweet last night and jumped to conclusions... False start on me

I saw that one. Most presumptions I've seen is that people think the Cardinals are just trying to be cagey about the starting QB.

Which is stupid. The Ravens JUST got busted pulling this nonsense last week. This is one of those poorly run organizations because of who the owner is.

[gunnarthor]

Miami fires its GM. Probably the right move. 

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46792843/chris-grier-dolphins-gm-mike-mcdaniel-finish-season

During Grier's tenure -- he has been with the organization since 2000, and general manager since 2016 -- the Dolphins recorded five winning seasons and three playoff appearances but failed to win a postseason game. Miami's 25-year playoff win drought is the longest active streak in the NFL.

[nicksaviking]

Tough fire for basically a life lone employee. Still, at least the Dolphins are doing it the right way. Start at the top. Certainly they'll fire the coach too, but no need to deal with that until the new GM decides who should be hired.

I live down here in AZ and the talk is definitely that the Murray era is closing....but it won't be now.  

Could I see him cut or traded in the offseason?  That I could see.  He's not a good QB, but someone might take him as a placeholder with a young QB.

[Vanimal46]

Old friend Danny Dimes has been put on fraud watch. 3 INTs and 2 fumbles lost 

[Aggies7]

Guy from the jaguars just hit a 68 yard FG. Using different balls for kicking is like when baseballs were juiced in 2019

[Mike Sixel]

Overall most games went the right way. 

[Aggies7]

Darnold throwing some dimes 

[Aggies7]

Darnold TDs on consecutive passes 😳 

[Mike Sixel]

He's been very good mostly this year.

4 TDs through the 1st half. You know, I think we were a little too emotional to toss Darnold aside... He looks like a stud once again at half the price of franchise QBs.

We’ll see after the postseason til I’ll think about saying that lol

[Aggies7]

But damn he is just darting guys up 

[Vanimal46]

How is that even possible?

Putting that midly... Halftime 16/16 282 yards 4 TDs perfect passer rating. Damn and I thought Washington was gonna be a good team again. Back on the roller coaster they go

[Aggies7]

Daniels hurt again. Elbow dislocation says my athletic trainer brother. I’m sure they’ll be a few questions why he was still in down 31 points with 8 minutes left

Fair to ask why he is in the game in a blow out game? Poor guy is getting the RG3 curse

7:30 left in the game, you aren’t scoring 31+ points. Very fair question 

[gunnarthor]

Just saw the replay. That was gross. Good thing it's not his throwing arm but that looked like he was done for the year. Seriously, gross. Click the "watch on Youtube" link.

I looked up their possessions to see how -

Fumble
FG
FG
Missed FG
Interception
Turnover on Downs
TD

[nicksaviking]

I think Green Bay has fallen into the Kirk Cousins trap with Jordan Love.

The guy is a very good QB, but he's not the kind of gritty, improvisational gunslinger that can put a team on his back for a deep playoff run. 

And I hate to say Jerry Jones was right about something, but I think he was right about Micah Parsons ONLY caring about getting sacks. Jones was still stubborn and stupid for trading him, and the Cowboys are paying for it now, but Parsons is a pretty one dimensional defensive player.
