Wasn’t it just.. madness. Vikings blew it, then Broncos did then OT, Vikings couldn’t convert, then the interception for the win. Mental stuff , all that from behind in the 4th once again.simon hammer wrote: ↑Sun Nov 13, 2022 10:09 pm and a ridiculous last minute in the Vikings @ Bills game saw it into overtime, with the Vikings eventually winning it.

Re: NFL For Dummies
That game and the Miami/Ravens game, where Miami were 21 points behind going into the fourth quarter and got the win, are the two best games so far this year.
Green Bay winning in ot last night against the Cowboys was also a bit good!

Re: NFL For Dummies
Has there been a worse 'title defence' than the Rams efforts this year? Champs to chumps in 9 months. Now Kupp is injured as well as having Stafford out. Having an absolute mare.

Re: NFL For Dummies
Not an expert by any means but didn’t the Rams buy a load of players last season to get the job done?
Enjoyed the Bills v Vikings game despite the result. Since getting interested again in NFL about 5 years ago, I’ve followed a number of different teams - I started by following the 49ers, as I had done in the 80s, then in more recent seasons it’s been the Saints, Chiefs and The Bills. Mainly due to the skills of the QBs who are so skilful.

Re: NFL For Dummies
Pretty much yes, but i wasn't expecting us to be this bad so quickly! Off the top of my head we brought in Stafford, OBJ and Von Miller. Stafford is still here albeit on the concussion list, OBJ is currently clubless whilst he gets back to fitness and Von went to Buffalo i think.pablo jaye wrote: ↑Tue Nov 15, 2022 6:09 pm Not an expert by any means but didn’t the Rams buy a load of players last season to get the job done?
Another big miss is Whitworth who retired.

Re: NFL For Dummies
And they were apparently still offering multiple first round picks for players before the trade deadline, despite not having any for a few years.
If I were them I'd be selling off assets right now.

Re: NFL For Dummies
Definitely sacrificed good picks for short term success. Continuing that method is curious but it worked once so maybe it can again.

Re: NFL For Dummies
It hasn't worked for anyone else, and quite a few tried it this year. Broncos and Saints the obvious major failures.
1st round picks in 2-3 years time aren't going to buy them much right now though, not with the vast holes that have appeared in that roster.

Re: NFL For Dummies
Could be fun in Buffalo (read Orchard Park, where they actually play) tomorrow. They got 1.68 meters of snow overnight. The lake effect snow warning is still in effect through tomorrow afternoon so they could get more.

Re: NFL For Dummies
thought I read they'd moved the game to Detroit ?
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/bu ... r-AA14hdRr
And so the NFL is moving Sunday’s Browns at Bills game, with the latest forecasts calling for up to six feet of snow in the coming days in Western New York.
The game will be moved from Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park to Detroit’s Ford Field. The Browns (3–6) and the Bills (6–3) are scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Re: NFL For Dummies
Baker Mayfield then. The circus season for the Rams continues.
Seems like one of those talented guys who is a bit of a prick and doesn't apply himself properly but I'll give him a chance.
I hope he plays against the Raiders but we shall see.

Re: NFL For Dummies
I was informed yesterday that Baker Mayfield is currently having the 2nd worst season by a QB since the QB rating was tracked in 2006. There have been 521 QB's meet the threshold of 100 pass attempts in that time, Mayfield's current efforts rank 520th. Obviously there is more to QBing than the QBR, but he is desperately ****, and has an awful attitude.
Jimmy Clausen in 2010 was the worst, btw.

Well it’s only one game but f*** me that was something else!
Let’s see how he gets on for the rest of the season.
