NFL Week 12: What Have We Learned?!!

[Rekkapryde]

Stafford's MVP to lose.

 

[MarcP]

Jerry Jeudy aint very smart. Mf could have ran out of bounds for another 5-10 yards but instead and he runs towards 3 defenders and gets stripped

“Did our black DC ruin our young QB?”

This might be the best one ever

 

[Legal]

they already extended him

That doesn't mean a damn thing.

Rams are the best squad in the league. Our two losses are flukey as hell. No team in the NFC scares me except Seattle.

Vikings are in a TERRIBLE position. Their first round QB is awful and unplayable. They have to give up on him but at the same time it’s really hard to give up on him this quickly.

The Steelers blew it and let the Ravens control the division again. The entire AFC seems suspect, they can make it to the SB

I get what you're saying, but with how roster construction is currently based around either winning while your QB is still on a cheap or team friendly deal, or being able to find value at crucial positions, McCarthy unfortunately isn't showing anything that suggests that this something that gets fixed before they have to commit serious money to him and start downgrading at some of the positions that are propping the team up. Some it you can write off as things he's behind on due to missing so much time did to injury, which is its own conversation to be had. But his bad mechanics are a thing that might take a full offseason to change, and then likely most of another season to truly break out of mentally. The poor reads and bad mental timing are things you would've hoped he worked on in that year off. Just based off of how he's playing right now, his timeline for being a viable starter doesn't really align with what the rest of their roster's timeline is.

Texans finna work on walking the Colts down just like the Ravens did the Steelers.

Burrow coming back is too late for Cincy. Down three games with 6 to play is too much, they not jumping BOTH Pittsburgh and Baltimore. The Bengals could play spoiler for someone though, but its basically Ravens vs Steelers for the W and a playoff spot; whichever one doesn't win the division, likely misses the playoffs.

Right now these are the AFC standings:

1 Patriots
2 Broncos
3 Colts
4 Ravens
5 Chargers
6 Jaguars
7 Bills
...........
8 Steelers
9 Texans
10 Chiefs

Lets say the Top 3 all hold as division winners. That 4-10 range is gonna be very interesting.

Here are your NFC standings after tonight if Panthers win:

1 Rams
2 Eagles
3 Bears
4 Panthers
5 Seahawks
6 Packers
7 Lions
.............
8 49ers
9 Buccaneers
10 Cowboys

NFC after tonight if Niners win:

1 Rams
2 Eagles
3 Bears
4 Buccaneers
5 Seahawks
6 Packers
7 49ers
.............
8 Lions
9 Panthers
10 Cowboys

We are on a Seahawks/Rams NFCCG collision course, all these other teams are pawns.

That don't make sense. I just watched him catch a Stafford bomb last night

Vikings are in a TERRIBLE position. Their first round QB is awful and unplayable. They have to give up on him but at the same time it’s really hard to give up on him this quickly.

Cardinals gave up on Rosen after a year

My Niners gave up on TreyLance after literally 4 fukkin starts after trading up for him

“Did our black DC ruin our young QB?”

Unbelievable

 

[Seven1986]

Patriots - They need a bye week badly because the injuries are starting to add up / For a back-to-back 4-win team, they're playing with house money.
Ravens - Lamar isn't healthy at all, and that could hurt them in the postseason.
Rams - Best team in the NFL
Vikings - They never should have let Sam Darnold go / This is the 2nd time they made a mistake by allowing.
Eagles - The Team is an eye sore to watch
Texans - They have a Defense that can win a Super Bowl
Jaguars - They may block the Chiefs from going to the playoffs
Colts - Just about time to press the fraud button
Buccaneers - Too many injuries are hurting this team, but the NFC is so bad that they can still win it
Giants - Win or Lose, Winston makes their games entertaining
Chiefs - They have to win out and rely on other teams to help them get a wildcard spot
Browns - Shedeur should start next week to see how he fares against a good overall team, and if they win that game, he should remain the starter for the rest of the season

I know some are worried about Lamar, but long as they keep stacking Ws it’s cool (for now).

Fully expect Higgins to get cleared to play Thursday along with Burrow. The Ravens always seem to get every team’s best shot, no matter what.

Who knows if the Bears can keep this up, but their games stay entertaining.

Eagles and Colts are gonna regret yakking up those big leads. Both were in the driver’s seat for HFA. Can still get it, but it’ll obviously be tougher.

The Raiders are 2018-2021 O’s status. Have to wonder if Pete bounces after this year. This ain’t what he signed up for.

Stafford is legit getting better with age; it’s wild to see.

Starting to agree with the bolded. That said, unless Sam shows he won't fold under duress, I am unsure if Seattle should be that spooky. I get it, though.


As for the Vikings... unfortunately there's too many instances of QBs that look like busts going on to figure it out with time and patience. Especially with how questionable this year's QB class looks, I feel like they have to give him 2026 at least.

They also have to understand that regardless of what compelled them to draft McCarthy... they drafted a kid from a run-heavy, defensive juggernaut. You'd like to think he has the tools needed to command an NFL offense, especially when his head coach has shown he can get decent QB play from almost anyone.

At the end of the day, they drafted a game manager who can give you a couple of plays here and there, not an offensive catalyst. If you don't treat him and your offense as such...

“Did our black DC ruin our young QB?”

Fukk them for that. If anything, Flores did the right thing with trial by fire.

If you can hang with a Flores defense, you should be able to manage any other.
