Mayfield takes a lot of risks on the run.

But fuck if it ain't good entertainment.

Gonna probably bite us in the ass with all this QB voodoo going around.

Wow, where are all you Chargers fags?
I messaged them earlier about how there's an alternate universe where Miami took Justin Herbert, the Chargers ended up with Tua, and that all their alternate selves in that universe are still alive and have yet to commit suicide.

I mean what does your alternate self really have to live for at that point? You really have to think about it a lot. So much so that you might have forgotten your team was playing Monday Night Football!

Nightmare fuel, but at last we'd have less hope to crush. Usually having good enough teams to get our hopes up (despite knowing better) is what gives our brand of misery its zest.

I think its safe to say the Raiders will not Commander and go deep into the playoffs this year.

Which raises the question if Carroll will be around once / if the Raiders do get to that stage. As has been mentioned repeatedly, he's already the oldest NFL coach ever.

I had to listen to the cowboy game on the radio. But I got a good laugh out of the cowboy announcers talking about the bad pass rush. Literally on one play they were like 'And Wilson again has all day back there oh theres a sack' I'm starting to wonder if people even fucking know what a pass rush looks like. It doesn't have to be a jail break. Collapsing the pocket like they were doing against the eagles is a pass rush (since I didn't watch I don't know if they were doing it against the giants).

Anyway, now we have a clowney. I hope he's still got some gas in the tank, I haven't been paying attention to him for a while.

At this point, he's average. Not a game-breaker, but not a statue out there either.

pretty sure the stat @Lenardo was referring to was from like 1990-2022 with a 265 team sample size. Perfect example of it in action was the Bengals missing the playoffs last year starting out 0-3

0-3 is not 0-2. It also includes legit bad teams and teams tanking. They're not in a good position, but their playoff chances are definitely higher than 11%
