He did but tbf they had that game won if Reynolds doesn't forget how to catch a damn ball

[silk pine]

was sad to see

[dim kettle]

You're Ben Johnson - The running game has been really good so far this game with your receivers dropping balls because it isn't their day. Oh, your RB fumbled the ball. Wait why you throwing the ball all the time now? Run... RUN!

[dim kettle]

Many can argue with me on this. But the logic of stopping the run game that was working up before the fumble while doubling down on the throwing game that was making more major mistakes up to that point just blows my mind. Reynolds dropping that ball just makes me shake my head more at Ben. Everyone knew it was likely gonna happen but him at that moment.

Hopefully he learns from that though.

And how he was relatively okay afterwards

It Tchouameni gets injured they don't have a CDM

If a CB gets injured t hey don't have a CDM too

So they have to be careful

[sweet tree]

that was unfortunate to see, but it's only 6 weeks atleast so it's not an ACL

Unless they sign someone

#Vikings rookie QB J.J. McCarthy will miss the entire 2024 season after having his torn meniscus repaired today by Dr. Chris Larson at Twin Cities Orthopedics, sources tell me and @RapSheet.

The only thing I'll say about the Niners this year is, you better hope CMC has another healthy year.

[hasty mesa]

They should still be fine but I do wonder how long they have left

[dim kettle]

As long as Purdy progresses and Kyle is there, they should be fine for a while.

[robust grotto]

3 seasons imo, they have time

they keep drafting well and the talent ID is off the charts with them

[proud coyote]

if we draft o-line well next year

we have a lot of time

it continges on that

[robust grotto]

i could see that tbh, makes total sense to me

[proud coyote]

need a tackle

[smoky fable]

There are elite prospects

Niners won’t pick that high to get them

But there are good ones

[rustic ore]

Did I hear right that they've kicked Puni inside to Guard?

[proud coyote]

that was always the plan yeah

[smoky fable]

https://fixupx.com/BrandonThornNFL/status/1822603222478897597

[rustic ore]

Bruh, can't believe Lynch is just not doing anything at Tackle

[proud coyote]

our swing tackle, jaylen moore, is pretty good

mckivitz is below average, RT

they think we're fine for this year and that more pressing is guard in the immediate

[rustic ore]

Well as long as Purdy gets the ball out fast should be fine

i do not wish injury on any player but

i would like to see stetson bennett or jimmy G start NFL games

for the rams

[rustic ore]

Guyton was apparently giving Verse work

I'm gonna be upset if Dallas hit on another O-lineman

[dim kettle]

We need a Stetson Bennett start, damnit.

[smoky fable]

Duke Mayweather is pretty damn good at working with offensive lineman

Guyton put in the work this offseason

[rustic ore]

Dude it's so dumb, feels like Dallas finds OL like Pittsburgh finds WRs

[dim kettle]

But always the same results. Those OL playing golf in January.

[rustic ore]

Meanwhile my GM has an obsession with D3 guys

Just cause Marpet worked out very well doesn't mean you keep doing it

[dim kettle]

At least he isn't drafting kickers anymore

[rustic ore]

Thank you Chase

[dim kettle]

More importantly. Thank Ryan Succop

[rustic ore]

Him too

Still salty Gay didn't decide to be good until after we cut him but it is what it is

[smoky fable]

That’s what happened with Minnesota and Daniel Carlson

[dim kettle]

I felt like Gay was treated unfairly. BA put him in a spot where he had a better chance of missing against the Giants.

[smoky fable]

The raiders got the good version

[dim kettle]

How to become a clutch kicker: Step 1 -Don't play for the Chargers or Vikings.

[smoky fable]

At least Younghoe Koo bounced back with the falcons after his failed chargers stunt

[rustic ore]

I'd like Koo more if he wasn't in the NFCS

ATL got more than a decade of great kicking after our dumbass old GM let Bryant walk, they can experience what we did for a while

[rustic mountain]

Don't be bitchin, you could have been like me for 20 years taking random ass dbs and players from Chattanooga of West Cleveland University

[dim kettle]

In due time.

[rustic ore]

You'll find my pity well pretty dry considering how stuffed your boys's trophy case is

[rustic mountain]

HEY YOUR TROPHY CASE HAS ONE MORE BECAUSE OF MY QB

SO YOU'RE WELCOME

[rustic ore]

Literally you as a sports fan

[rustic mountain]

We need to seal that leak

[dim kettle]

You know, directly after your trophy case has one more because of our RB and CB

[rustic mountain]

Darrelle?

Bruh he was just visiting Tampa lmao

[dim kettle]

Him and LeGarrette Blount

[rustic mountain]

And Blount fair enough

But he didn't do near the shit he did with you guys as he did for us

[smoky fable]

I actually remember Logan Mankins played for both teams

[rustic mountain]

Don't know why he was ass for you guys

[dim kettle]

He did this https://youtu.be/rzESUFOt2Gg

[rustic mountain]

Maybe Tampa and NE just have an agreed Bro ship

[rustic ore]

It wasn't that he was ass, it was that the GM/HC didn't like him for whatever dumbass reason and thought they could improve off of him

Also he had an attitude

Same deal with Talib

[rustic mountain]

Ah yeah thanks for Talib even if he didn't win us a ring

But he did keep the tradition of lock down new England corners going

[rustic ore]

At least in Blount's case his departure was ever so slightly lessened pain wise because Doug had 2 insane seasons out of like 5

[dim kettle]

Blount makes himself known in 2011. Mark Dominik: Let's draft a RB in the first round.

[smoky fable]

Man Doug Martin was a beast then

[rustic mountain]

It'll get scary in Atlanta for like 4 weeks

[smoky fable]

Their start of the schedule is tough as hell

[rustic mountain]

Then Judon will do his Famed Disappearing Act ™️

[smoky fable]

But their back half is easy

[rustic ore]

It'll get super scary when they get to that first playoff game and remember who their QB is

[rustic ore]

Love Penix dude I'm salty I have to watch him be great for a division rival

[dim kettle]

What about the Panthers What about them?

[rustic ore]

I am a believer in Penix and will continue to be so until he proves me otherwise

[amber grove]

I love Penix

[dim kettle]

Thank god they didn't get Stroud. It'd be like a sequel to the 2010s in the NFC South. The Bucs don't belong in the basement, damnit.

This is great Judon and Grady can hit Baker they won't throw bs flags now that Brady ain't back there flopping

Just like it will be great to see AWJ strip sack Cousins again.

It has to be frustrating watching little brother twice ace the test you've been trying to ace since 66

First time since John Abraham we actually went and got a pass rusher

[smoky fable]

Man respect to John Abraham

[rustic ore]

That's what I was thinking

[smoky fable]

Good pass rusher

[rustic ore]

Future HOF for sure

[smoky fable]

You forgot Vic Beasley?

[dim kettle]

The fact Dwight Freeney got into the HOF. smh

[robust grotto]

30 minutes later and still giggling

[amber grove]

That was through the draft

[rustic ore]

Aren't they pretty?

[amber grove]

Talking about via trade or FA

[amber grove]

Yeah at least we don't have to exist in Florida

[smoky fable]

Joke fell through since I was talking about him as a one year wonder but touche

[amber grove]

He was amazing

[dim kettle]

Yeah, They actually win NFL titles in Florida.

[smoky fable]

With his sacks for a short stint. Fizzled out quickly

Abraham if you’re referring to him was great

[amber grove]

Abraham was our best pass rusher ever

Vic probably has the best single season as a pass rusher for us

Guys likely to rush from the defensive left side (against the right tackle) to start the season:

Week 1: Clowney

Trevor Penning has to figure it out fast or they will need to make a move. Can't mess around.

Oh I thought they were keeping him at LT this year

Yeah he's cooked

[dim kettle]

While we're adding on, fuck the Jets for trading Jonathan Vilma to the Saints.

[rustic ore]

@robust grotto Your boys were some proper assholes for trading good players in their primes to our division rivals

[smoky fable]

He sucked against the cardinals last week

Fuaga looked good but the edge room is poor

[rustic ore]

I enjoy NO struggling

[dim kettle]

Truly a great time to be a Saints hater. Embrace BEARS FOOTBALL!!

[rustic ore]

Gonna be sad when they finally can Allen and Loomis

[dim kettle]

That's assuming the new crew would be better

[rustic ore]

Continuity ain't so great when you're continuously mid

[dim kettle]

Man, the fact Dennis Allen is a HC in 2024 is crazy. People assuming Carmichael being fired will change things. As if Dennis knows what he's doing at the OC position

https://fixupx.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/1823871617891516437

[amber grove]

Only thing that worries me about Judon is he's 32 by Week 1 and needs a contract

[rustic mountain]

Hey I have 6 exact copies of those!

[rustic mountain]

And he is coming off an injury and has consistently disappeared in the back half of seasons

But who is counting the issues

[dim kettle]

Steeler fans fade away at the sight.

[rustic mountain]

We tied what their franchise did success wise over it's entire run in one qb era

Steelers can get bent

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-bender-bend-doblador-gif-20053760

[dim kettle]

Don't worry, they already did get bent by NE enough during that time.

[rustic mountain]

God that was fun

My only wish is that we coulda inflicted more pain on the Steelers faithful

SCHWARBER GRAND SLAMMMM

[rustic ore]

@smoky fable Any clue why the NFLPA is still pushing back against attempts to sell his jersey?

Know it has something to do with Fanatics

Or at least I think I read it does

[dim kettle]

I think he refused to sign anything with the NFLPA to sell his jersey.

[rustic ore]

Ah

[dim kettle]

Like before he was drafted.

[rustic ore]

Well I mean good luck just stopping people from manually ordering Cards jerseys that say "Harrison Jr" on the back

[dim kettle]

MHJ speaks for the people. He hates Fanatics

[dim kettle]

Not happening either. If you see anybody with a Cards MHJ jersey on, it's gonna be a bootleg.

[smoky fable]

Yeah it has something to do with fanatics.

They’re trying to sign him to a contract similar to the sophomores that college guys did since he refused it then

He’s arguing that his value is higher than they’re offering which he’s right on

They don’t want to make a precedent in kowtowing

[rustic ore]

Padres in particular

[desert palm]

Who has the tiebreaker between the Padres and the Diamondbacks currently?

[smoky fable]

Not sure

[desert palm]

@smoky fable I am not kidding

They are tied for five and five in the matchups

The last series for both teams is against each other

[smoky fable]

I could have sworn the padres won more games

What the hell

[desert palm]

If they are neck and neck at that point that series is pivotal

[smoky fable]

Of course

And marte is banged up with his ankle

[desert palm]

He’s gonna be back by September

I don’t think he’s gonna be out at that point between September 27th to 29th

[smoky fable]

I hope he’s alright and doesn’t try to rush back for a potential MVP

or contend for it as it seems Ohtani has the lead for it

[desert palm]

Well, Ohtani is almost at 40-40 if he does then it’s over

37-33 currently and it’s still mid August

With the Vikings finding themselves in need of a QB, they should reach out to Atlanta. Michael Penix Jr. has looked great, making their aging QB, Kirk Cousins, redundant.

Cousins could fit well in the Vikings system. I’ve photoshopped how he would look on the team.

From what I'm immediately seeing on Google it seems like they're zeroing in on him fast

If not outright getting ready to hire him

us firing him was silly

Tbf his immediate job requirement would be being better than Gregg, doesn't seem like that high of a bar to reach

Scored 4 and assisted 1 in UCL

[short flame]

Played 1 game in the copa America so you’re getting an international footballer

[hasty basin]

🔥

Club transfer record

[safe sequoia]

he wont come close to how good solanke was

[hasty basin]

That was Iraola most of it

Solanke underperformed his xG

When you play through a striker they tend to get those goals

How many times have we seen this when it just sinks next season

Andy Johnson, Charlie Austin, Danny Ings to name a few

He is a great striker yes, for pressing he's the best

But finishing man...

Let's not forget he did this under O'Neil

[short flame]

Still 19 goals gone

[thorn hornet]

Enjoy your 3 Prem goals a season striker for 50 mil

I'm gonna crash

Nketiah for another year

[hasty basin]

Iraola played through him lol

[short flame]

You mean your 50 millions Brazilian dribbler who can also score 3 goals

[hasty basin]

I think if you dropped the price for him we'd have signed him

But the board was like fuck it if it's 47M we can do that for Evanilson

[short flame]

Yeah and it worked. You will have to rethink your whole playing style but it will be difficult without your main man down the middle

[hasty basin]

Obviously didn't want to lose him

But Evanilson is also a pressing forward

Finishing was clearly not a problem because it wasn't Solanke's strong suite

[short flame]

But he’s not a goal scorer

[hasty basin]

He is

[thorn hornet]

Bro we already dropped Nketiah price to 25 mil

[hasty basin]

Scored 4 in UCL

[thorn hornet]

Fuck do they want anymore

[hasty basin]

That's good enough for me

[short flame]

You’ll need to change strategies and have everyone else make up for the goals that you’ll miss

[hasty basin]

Not that simple tbf

Or rather, way simpler

[short flame]

His best season is 14 goals

[hasty basin]

Get a player of similar profile, we clearly saw it was Iraola who revolutionized us

[hasty basin]

And it's over the amount of chances he was given

Lol

[short flame]

Sorry I don’t look at xg and all those complex stats

[thorn hornet]

Ok but who are Porto buying

[short flame]

I look at the results on the field

[hasty basin]

Yeah well football isn't simple anymore

It's not the classic clear it and whoever makes the best long throughball wins

What can we do

But not use the metrics

Stuff like this

You can't physically watch every league and if you do, you can't explain it to someone without using complex stats

You can look at Ollie Watkins for example

He got 11 assists, BUT FROM WHAT

More than half of those assists were just his teammates being amazing

So I can't go into next season expecting the same thing because I know that, surface level stats lie

[short flame]

That’s fine for scouts, as a fan I don’t give a shit about any of this stuff. Maybe pass accuracy. I’ll look at goals assists. Yeah it’s old fashioned but I don’t care about that stuff. If you do then go ahead, either way it’s your player, I just personally look at what dom produced last season in the premier league and what that guy did in the Portuguese league and I think you’ll struggle to produce as many goals

[hasty basin]

See

You'd look at Ollie Watkins' assists right

He got 13

[short flame]

See I don’t care, 11 assists is still impressive to me

[hasty basin]

So what happens when next season

He halves those assists

[short flame]

It means him and the team performed less than last season

[hasty basin]

https://tenor.com/view/andré1899-soccer-sports-game-goal-gif-17755782

This was an assist

[short flame]

Man what a goal

I’d gladly take having the assist on that goal

[hasty basin]

The issue is

That's counted as 1 assist

So is the greatest assist in all of football history

Counting stats are cool

But they don't tell the whole story, never

Danny Ings, 19/20 season, 22 goals, amazing season, hasn't eclipsed 12 goals since

[short flame]

I know

But I don’t have the time to go look at every game to see if something is a real assist or not

[short flame]

Yeah that happens, he peaked early

[hasty basin]

Andy Johnson, 04/05 season, 21 goals in the prem, hadn't scored more than 11 prem goals after that

[short flame]

One season wonders exist

Dont know what to tell you

Do you want me to tell you dom will never reach 19 goals again?

[hasty basin]

Charlie Austin, 14/15 season, 18 goals in the prem, hadn't scored more than 7 in the rest of the seasons

[hasty basin]

I believe so lol

We literally played through him OF COURSE he'd get goals

[short flame]

We’ll see

[safe sequoia]

charlie austin is a prick

[hasty basin]

Spurs won't play through anyone

Spurs have Son

[short flame]

You have better

[safe sequoia]

but what if they play solanke the same way they did kane

[hasty basin]

Kane was one of the greatest strikers of our generation

Are you saying Solanke is the same?

[safe sequoia]

No i am saying solanke has the same ability to put away the simple chances that many miss

[hasty basin]

Solanke is a build up, technical striker

Harry Kane used to the most clinical finisher in the prem

[short flame]

Not the same, but giving him a similar role you can get some goals

[hasty basin]

There's another thing

Now he isn't going to take pens

Because he has Son

[short flame]

Did he take pens for you?

[hasty basin]

Yes

[short flame]

But wait

Your team doesn’t get pens

[hasty basin]

He scored 2 missed 1

[short flame]

Ok so still 17 goals

[hasty basin]

If they play through him sure

Very bad record of scoring against big teams too

[short flame]

1 premier league 1 league cup vs 0

[safe sequoia]

having watched both play live solanke was better

[hasty basin]

Both of who

[safe sequoia]

kane and solanke

[hasty basin]

That's all I needed to hear

[safe sequoia]

it might be cause one was vs czech rep and one was a championship game

[thorn hornet]

what bothers me is that we are not even in PSR range, but we still need to sell someone to get Merino lol

We wont even get in trouble bro just pay up

[hasty basin]

Kiwior 🔥

[thorn hornet]

Ramsdale- Ajax loan bid rejected we want perma move

Nelson- out of Leicester's budget

Kiwior- Only teams in Italy interested- dry loan

Nketiah- we kept getting lowballed

Tierney- wait you're still here?

Transfer window is my least favourite period, I get mad for no reason

[spring obsidian]

Whatever happened to the guy that bit people, Suarez I think?

[hasty basin]

What if we signed Nelson

Just to beat him up for what he did
