I’m just tired of the actual team
I’m so happy this is the final fucking year
We’re not winning a cup with these guys
It's the NY media and fans. I question how many of them actually watch the Rangers first and not the Knicks/Yankees, etc
Good point too
Mfers acting like he’s not the best player
I love Panarin but we can’t act like he’s been this savior
The only team in NYC with less active fans/people who know the ins and outs are the Islanders
Irrelevant as hell
People just don't know/care about hockey, and that's fine
But those same voices pretending to understand is funny
They went to the third round 2 years in a row and the team now is overrated Barzal and a bunch of former NJ Devils.
Incredible really
It's understandable why no one talks about them. Last time they were put in the spotlight, they blew a 3-goal lead to the Rangers at Metlife.
Lemme check bc I don’t wanna ask for like, ridiculous assets for a dude who may not even play this year
Shit I’ll take Barkley
@dim ledge consider it done
Ok
I accepted
@smoky fable
Is what it is but I'm curious
It will never end
Go padres
That is a massive gamble Balkan
Wow
And you had Mason too
RIP. @torn gale
At least you got AJ brown back
Would you have accepted less
Probably would have asked for someone else with CMC in case he doesn’t come back. Or give up Mason for CMC
Because Barkley is the best running back in fantasy right now

Yikes
Loljets
Oh that’s brutal lmao
But LETS GO
Bye bye bum boy
I may be getting cold feet lmao
What is with this wording.
Why are they leaking it like this
I don't remember gase or any other head coach firing getting this
Yeah they even made note on the radio that Gase wasn’t escorted out when he was fired
Also wording wise I’d guess because drama sells
You could renegotiate with euge and Juba (since he approves the trades) to get a better deal
You honestly should to be honest
Think Rodgers might not have been worth the draft picks and the head ache though
With the baggage he brought
Makes you think
I’m getting very close to saying Nabers is better than Garrett Wilson
Not just this season but I mean in general as a player
But I’ll hold off
(He is. Say it louder)
Ive been vocal since training camp that Nabers has the potential to be a Chase, Tyreek, Lamb, Jefferson level player
Very excited for him to come back this week
Those LSU guys might be WRU
Yep
With all the studs they produce
Brian Thomas Jr has impressed me a ton this year as a rookie too. Thought it would take longer
Oh well
Unfortunately the injury will always be a gray cloud. We just don’t know and we will never know
easy to say in hindsight
For sure but it’s part of the conversation
He’s definitely flashing, get him an actual HC and see what happens
Grimace got a hero’s welcome on the 7 train
Your brother speaks facts
@robust grotto
Oh my fucking god
Lots of pointing at Rodgers from radio hosts here @dim ledge you’re not alone
ESPN’s @JFowlerESPN mentions Ben Johnson, Bobby Slowik and Todd Monken as potential HC candidates in the offseason for the #Jets.
Slowik mad overrated
You know what’s funny
Daboll and prime time Dimes have a shot to completely toast this Bengals organization lol
If they come out here and ball, what does that say about Cincinnati?
Is someone getting fired? Idk
It completely kills their playoff hopes and they probably trade Higgins by this point
They just sell off players at 1-5
Higgins to Chiefs lol
Don’t think it would happen from the perspective of both sides
Unfortunately even if we beat Bengals more attention will be on Bengals being bad than Giants being good
The only way people will talk about Giants is if we win the next two in a row, Bengals and Eagles
Which is a long shot
Everyone does say the bengals defense is terrible
But if your defense shuts down the bengals offense
But I’ll say this now, if Giants beat Bengals and Eagles I’m calling for the playoffs
That’s eye opening
Joe Burrow is gonna be in hell
SNF in MetLife with that Dline?
Better get that ball out quick
Yeah
Don’t know who your second CB is on Higgins
Is Higgins slot?
Brother you've been saying the Giants can get a wild card spot since the draft
I was full tank mode after week 1
I was intrigued seeing Browns
Now I’m like ok now I like what I see vs Seahawks
I think he’s outside
Turns out Vikings are a real football team
Think the tight end or another receiver is the slot
It’ll be Flott
But haven’t seen the snap counts for the alignments
Dru Phillips is our slot guy and he’s a baller
He’s high on them Sab
Yeah he’s a baller
So it’ll be the Chase and Higgins show but let’s see
Has Nubin improved or nah?
Nubin is good
Still remember him taking that bad angle on that Lamb td
We’re waiting for his ball hawking to show up in the NFL rn
After he beat Banks
That’s the next step
Yeah but he’s a rook
Overall he’s been solid
Dru Phillips def better though
How good is Bengals secondary?
Who’s on Nabers
It depends. They line up Nabers everywhere
They utilize him so much
He’ll see Cam Taylor Britt
So what I’m hearing is Nabers is cooking everyone and needs to be doubled/clouded
And Tracy will probably get good runs if Singletary is out
But you can’t underestimate Lou Anaurumo
This game may come down to the question of “can DJ win a shootout”
That has not been tested yet
New at @NFLonCBS: Ousted Jets head coach Robert Saleh was considering firing OC Nathaniel Hackett before he himself was fired Tuesday morning https://t.co/LwMHoEJH61
@robust grotto
#Jets owner Woody Johnson on his message to Haason Reddick:
"Haason, get in your car and drive down 95 and to the New York Jets. We can meet you and give you an escort right into the building."
@rustic mountain
Tough defense too
They're throwing him to the wolves first start
Sink or swim
And there it is.
You gotta see if he can show signs he can be that dude or not.
Yes because there's no way any external factors at all would marr those signs at all
None whatsoever
If you think he shouldn't be put in until he's put in a perfect spot. Sad to say you'd be waiting a long time. You were picking 3rd overall for a reason
Not saying that
IDK how Stroud or Jayden Daniels have survived on suppose bad teams
Based
So essentially phasing out Hackett regardless
I am saying that seeing if he is that dude or not is kinda hard to say because it's not like Drake has exactly the best shit around him. I am not saying good things can't be seen
Okay now I’m expecting this to happen. You can’t keep a lame duck around, it benefits no one
But maybe nuance is justified here
Fire him
It's a mess man
Look. He's a top 3 pick. That indicates you're a difference-maker. One way or another he's gonna have to show what he can do.
Look. Your take is black and white and doesn't allow for any kind of nuance at all.
Nuance? You mean excuses?
Whatever man
You've made it clear what your opinion is. I just don't agree with it
Robert Saleh was escorted out of the facility by team security and was not allowed to meet with players or inform the team, per @ProFootballTalk 😳
More here: https://bit.ly/3NguGen https://t.co/wYknnkTlcb
You just have to look at his draft mate Jayden Daniels and last year's second overall pick CJ Stroud. They didn't need to sit on the bench in front of a crappy QB.
Lool wtf , the disrespect. They pushed this nigga out like he robbed the team store
They didn't do this with Adam Gase. That's the cherry on top
Lololol the jets sold their soul to Rogers that's crazy
Can't wait to hear Tomorrows propaganda cast from Aaron
Greg Williams full-on blitz with the game on the line. Truly amazing stuff it was. Gase should've gotten a lifetime contract.
MLB will have the Guardians' TV rights for 2025.
Games will be able to be watched on television (channel info will be known closer to Opening Day) and https://t.co/O65sntiDvY. This agreement will also remove local blackouts.
I’m interested for him to finally get NFL snaps
He has the whole season ahead to get experience
They have to see what they got and then build around him
https://x.com/NFLonFOX/status/1843483140980941296?t=BOP1SxByqknJ7zU2LZi84A&s=19
Xavier Worthy mom I wasn't familiar with your game 👀
What a poor, poor, soul
@rustic ore
He’s available
But I think you need better options than him or Britt
But one of the most overrated linebackers I’ve seen hyped up
Don’t know what coaches saw
CMC must have been nice to him
Number one linebacker my ass
Yeah. Someone mentioned that on the radio after TNF. He was sent packing for a reason
Best linebacker. A joke
Devin White showing back up in Tampa Bay after the Eagles released him:
Oof
@rustic ore
This week
Can't wait to potentially lose to a 4th round backup QB
Aw man
Malik Nabers looking at that bengals secondary
Aaaaaand …
Rattler starting
Daniel Jones better stop throwing hospital balls
He was better vs Seahawks at that so
Let’s hope it stays that way
Yesssss Mets too lol
I’m gonna be very disappointed if we don’t light the bengals up
Light up as in score 20+
Yeah I remember them throwing garbage and balls at the fans last game
God the Dodgers and the Yankees are the worst
Fans suck players suck just everything sucks
Lol Birds release Devin white
Dodgers and Yankees less than 24 hours saying shit that annoys me
It's like they want to be unlikable
the fans know it started... I wish the players did
The season didn’t start. The Devils just started with free 2 wins
they were so dominant that we didn't even get to play the games in our home shirt
I still can't believe the league and sabres organization authorized that to happen
The Sabres are so sad they were given 2 losses from the start automatically
I don’t mind the losses, I knew that was happening
It’s the disrespect
We might if they force us to play in white all season
Kraken starting the season strong by giving up 3 unanswered goals
@robust grotto this whole jets thing has echoes of Mbappe at psg. Diva shit, giving him too much power, he gets whether he wants
Winker dinger

Las Vegas tourists should not run in fear as 150 “Pyrdrones” shoot sparks 400 feet above the Tropicana demolition site Wednesday morning—because it’s all part of the show.
The aerial pyrotechnic drone show has approval from the Federal Aviation Administration according to Phil Grucci, CEO and...
You and I both know that was far from the only issue there
you can’t persuade me that bringing in Rodgers was the wrong move
Their options were Carr or Rodgers
Sabres was 4 not 3
Bringing Rodgers in may not be the wrong move per se
You can persuade me that Rodgers has too much pull but as a player he was the right person to bring in
Neither was psg buying mbappe
The problem is how much they're riding with him
And how much stock they're putting in
And what they're allowing him to do as a player
These are what desperate clubs do ultimately
What control he gets
And it shows man, smh
Right I can see that
And Woody is a bitch owner who is too invested in headlines
Hence the constant uniform change… “jet life stadium” etc etc
An owner so desperate that he brings a guy that demanded the world, so naturally woody gave that power away
Aye
Low key
Jet life stadium cold😂
Dude it goes hard af and they make the whole stadium green
But that’s Woody, he’s a glitz and glamour dude
Yeah nah, he cooked with that one
While Mara is prim and proper, legacy type dude
Total opposites and they dislike each other heavy
But you have to see it from a jets angle
You see it from a functional, well grounded angle
These guys have failed on qb after qb and HC after HC and GM after GM
The roster was too talented to go young QB Again
Who was large and in charge when Rex was coach
I miss the days of sexy rexy
He was a good ass coach, they just never hit on qb so the style never really changed
Tannenbaum I wanna say
Which was partially on him, but not all on him imo
Only so much you can do with fucking mark Sanchez
But Rex was the man for sure
Folks would run through a wall for Rex
I think for me it's like
So Woody Johnson is one of the main culprits to this failure is what you’re saying
Reminder they traded up to get Sanchez
25 years
Oh Woody is the major problem period
His desperation is why Rodgers is here
Rodgers in his twilight is still better than any jets qb in...god knows
Because if Ben Johnson was picky about Washington, he definitely would pass on the Jets then
Period, not even god knows, period
But what's being sacrificed/put at risk for that has nasty implications not terribly far down the road
Talking about the position
I underestimated Rodger’s baggage
In the present
I did too and I was far more adamant than most
Remember. The same person who saw Sam Darnold going into his second year were going. “Yeah. Lets go with offensive guru Adam Gase” Who was just fired from a division rival
A big issue is Rodgers did look to step back a bit in last year in GB
But if you watch, with the Achilles injury, he’s also now lost that mobility he had. Which was a big thing for him even going back to his prime
Can he even get out of the pocket now?
The same owner that was pissed he was unable to find land in NYC and since he put more into the MetLife, the giants are not allowed to put up championship banners at the stadium
Doesn’t seem like it no
Didn’t realize that was a factor
Didn’t know
Yup and that’s what I was saying this morning. I know it’s easy to say in hindsight but losing him last year will always be part of the convo, that “what if?” Can’t just be shrugged off
It impacted every single thing
Are the jets unable to raise their championship banner or nah. From the ancient Namath year?
Lmfao good point. I wonder why they don’t do it …
Pretty much. Even the semi- average Rodgers we saw to end in GB would have sufficed last year
I have no clue
And that’s the key thing here. It’s not like the jets were total bums coming into that year. They had a nice roster that was let down by Zach Wilson
On paper, Rodgers was the right move. The baggage was worth it
I heavily agree
This franchise has done NOTHING FOR 10+ years, it was worth a gamble
But I'm just not as okay with accepting that baggage
Just didn’t work out
And it just didn’t work out, that’s the bottom line
But guess that’s on Douglas for missing on qbs and oline in general
He should be gone and was equally responsible
And I understand cause it’s blown up entirely
Oh absolutely lmao
Fuck that
They can’t give up on this season .. 2-3 is salvageable. But Rodgers is clearly compromised and Adams won’t ever change that. He will become another headache
Rodgers is in control now. Who knows how much more influence he has on Woody Johnson. Don’t think Adams helps either
It’s corny to say but it’s just the players at this point. Obv Hackett is ass but it’s no real excuse for the players to also stink
The issue is Woody has no balls
And that’s why I was happy Balkan
Because for at least one moment… he had balls this morning and did something he would normally never fucking do
9.5/10 times this move won’t work, but he had to try
You look at SF and how the Aiyuk deal went down, nothing but chaos and rumours swirling, knife to our proverbial throats for the entire off-season
Just for him to capitulate and take the original deal
Woody can't handle that pressure
That’s the beauty of being a functional franchise
Woody literally gets on his knees for a big player to sign here
It’s comical
Just realized it’s been an eventful New York sports day
Mets on top of the Phillies for now
This bombshell of a saleh news

Speaking of
Nick Sorensen "wasn't available" for media comment today
Maybe Brandon Staley getting a bigger role?
Who knows
I don’t think Saleh joins immediately
Till the offseason
If he does, damn he jumps back quickly
The guy does have seven kids
I'm pretty much there with you as is juba and most niners fans who like. Get football
But
What if we get him in in a reduced role/advisor
And later promote
I don’t doubt that Kyle has reached out
Just unsure if Saleh would jump in quickly after that New York fiasco
I’m happy for Saleh too. Get away from NY media
Dude his pressers were awful
He’ll be an elite DC again
Yeah they were pretty bad. The Rodgers cadence comment showed how out of sink they were .
So another Georgia player arrested for some terrible charges
Knew something was bad
Culture over there is bad
It was worse than speeding
That’s probably bad enough to get kicked off but it’s just a another terrible look for Kirby and Georgia
Kirby immediately has to kick him off the team
Unacceptable
Yeah
Bro
And to think some of these kids are getting money lmfao
You should not be paid to play in college, sorry
Second most toxic across all of sports in all our leagues
There's only one worse imo
I think you should be able to get paid as a college kid
Nope
This is more on Kirby and georgias culture than it is about kids making money
Toronto
The NHL alone, Toronto is the worst I've seen
The expectations and pressure and whispers/powers that be are fucking insane
I pity them
bases loaded no outs for the Mets
Nola will be pulled
Orion kerkering
Will be pitching
Nope, and the expectations are immeasurably higher and tougher to satisfy

Awesome.
This has been a good postseason so far
I am in hell
Dodgers, Yankees, Phillies out would, I am pretty sure, solve world hunger
We are getting some great ball so far
I still think Phils Mets can go anywhere
Suarez on the mound tomorrow so it can for sure
Yeah
I’m not as keen as I would normally be on him bc he hasn’t been that much of the same post injury but he can get it done for sure
Mets win that is crazy
It would make the Bronx starve
It’s going to a game 5 because the Mets refuse to make anything “easy”
Insane. I am grateful
4 down, 9 to go
That’s New Yorks sports for you
yep
just peeped this... the 2006 matchup that never was. the orange and blue ws would be wild
Steve Cohen is outside of Citi Field greeting Mets fans ahead of NLDS Game 3

No. He'll only do that to your team. 
That kind of night for the Bruins
Poor, poor things.
Even if they trounce the Phils again there will lurk the specter of lolMets.

Mad Dog Russo gives #Jets GM Joe Douglas props for drafting "Wilson and Minshew." 🤔 It took me a minute to decode this one. Getting inside of Dog's brain can be dangerous. He meant Sauce Gardner and instead went with Ga…
Sauce Gardner = Gardner Minshew
LOL
….
Utah will get a name before the Jets return to the playoffs.
That’s not exactly a high bar
Hey. It’s a bar though
i miss him
Hey they made it last year
“Playoff atmosphere” alright bro calm down
Even the Dog’s brain buttfumbled
Oh their first game tonight?
so lunik
what happens with igor you think
we reoffer and eat cap?
i mean like i dont see any other way lmao
It’s time to break the ice in Utah! 👏

Dylan Guenther, the first ever Utah goal
Something to answer in random trivia in 20 years
Wow those are young owners
I think we’ll see the contract but idek man I’m trying to wrap my head around the next move too. Idk who benefits from the news leaking
DYLAN GUENTHER SCORES THE FIRST REGULAR SEASON GOAL IN UTAH HC HISTORY 🚨
agent?
Yep first game
as always?
Lmao yeah good call
Oh tell them to wait I’m on my way
I’m just assuming the Utah players who were Yotes are looking around and thinking. “Wait. We can play in full crowds? That’s illegal.”
Oh i missed the first goal 
word on the street is they offered free communion wafers to all guests
Hey they did play in full crowds
But only in white shirts
Refusing 11 mill a year is nuts
Insane
Dude is good but come on man goalies can’t play every game like an elite d man or centre can
do you think the Swayman contract influenced that decision at all?
Swayman is only 8.5 mill a year
But they play 60 minutes. Still too much money. It makes me scared for when Levi has to sign his real contract
sure but
Nah I think he wants goalies to get paid more
the question becomes does Igor think hes only ~2.5 million worth of a better goalie than Swayman
I’m confused what is spice tuna 
Unironically I think him and his agent are trying to change the goalie market now that the cap should finally go up soon
Trend setting type. Bob is over 10 I think
but even then man, jesus
yeah exactly
idk. its frustrating and 11 is alot but i kinda get his angle if its valuation versus other goalies, yknow?
And after that? I’m not even sure
Price is 10.5
Yeah let’s hope 11.5 and call it a career
mhm
and again this alllllll goes back to earlier
hockey players make pennies to the dollar versus other players in other sports
ESPECIALLY with sponsorships
hockey sponsorships are like...throwing a dog a bone, for lack of a better term
Do you maybe wait until the new cap is announced before negotiating?
note that my reaction pertains to who made sure of that, not my desire for him
i think the best course of action is to offer the 11.5 and hope he accepts, then restructure important contracts as much as we can until cap increase
Utah scored again
He protests by signing with the New Jersey Dev-
Their captain
Hmm probably no, I think they’re just ready to get something done
But as a player. I’m sure you can get better offers after the cap increase
For sure. I only know so much with the cap and how they structure stuff, plus I’m sure they have an idea about the cap going up or not. Feels like a storyline every year and it’s never raised dramatically
I’ll just sit back with my 9M a year goaltender.
Verhaeghe has signed an 8-year, $56M contract extension with the Florida Panthers.
Things happen fast.
Biggest loser tonight assuming Utah wins - Blackhawks or Coyotes fans ?
Yotes of course
Both
blackhawks fans are no strangers to misery
Why is a guy named spicy tuna 
$48M in bonuses...6 years no-move clause. The clock on that starts now (can be added if a player is eligible) and lasts the first five years of the new contract
PSG(?) awaiting an Uber after the Phillies loss to the Mets at Citi Field as the ice cream truck music plays is truly incredible.
Philly Sports Guy?

wow lmao i just guessed
thats exactly what the abbreviation is for
god i rule
French Phillies fan
I keep forgetting utah has a NHL team now
Yes. Utah has a Hockey Club now.
Yeah. What's their name?
The hockey club.
Yeah. What's their name?
The hockey club.
YES! WHAT'S THEIR NAME?
is that really the best name they could come up with? 
They're still looking for one
It’s Washington football team all over again
ah, i see
The biggest problem the Blackhawks face is that while Bedard looks like their Brayden Point, their "Kucherov" is Kurashev.
Gotta give props to Utah they are fully in support of any team coming to them
Right now with Vegas, there is very obvious bias against the A’s specifically
Fuck Utah
Golden Knights fan admitted to me that hypothetically is the rays moved to Vegas that would be awesome
So it’s pretty obvious that it’s because the fact that the athletics are pretty bad right now and the owner is not good is the reason why they are not keen on the idea
However, people in Utah don’t care lol
The problem is there's a lot of assuming Stu wouldn't have done something similar to what Oakland did.
Although to be fair in Utah’s case a baseball team would have to be run by the former jazz owner
That is the stipulation part of the $900 million dollars to the ballpark theoretically
If Vegas falls through and the athletics can’t do anything in Sacramento then I wouldn’t be surprised if John Fisher sells a majority share at least to that ownership
Because as soon as they get the OK for a team, whether it’s expansion or relocation there is nothing stopping construction in Utah. They can get that done immediately.
The fact MLB has allowed this should have Manfred kicked out as commissioner. Just embarrass the league.
Exact same for bud and picking loria as expos owner
I hope it works! NHL is a niche league compared to the others. A smaller market could work if done well, but they can’t be blue jackets west
AND LETTING HIM BUY THE MARLINS
Remember. The same people who thought the best way to save money was to contract 2 teams.
By the way, the first step for Vegas ballpark is underway
Yeah
People point to the 94 strike to the downfall of baseball. Boy, the hole goes deeper than that
The downfall of baseball is really just the rise of popularity of football
I don’t think it’s any single moment or decision by the MLB and commissioner
So many people make fun of the sport it pisses me off so much
They also aren't helping themselves either. They waited so long to catch up with the other sports.
Oh sergachev
bigtime, emphasis on catching up
it still doesnt feel modernised
it still feels stuck in the mid to late 2000s
This is what I would have to disagree with you because I think they’ve done a significant better job at modernizing the past few years
It feels more so like a modern sport these past 2 years alone
Grimace brought the game to the next level

PADRES WIN GAME 3!!!!!!!!!!
Looking like we're getting closer to another stereotypical Dodgers lost in the playoffs. Dodgers losing to a NL West team. A tale as old as time.
It would be glorious
Manny may not have thrown a baseball at Dave Roberts. But he sure would be throwing him out of the playoffs at this rate.
Is baseball 3 wins?
The divisional round is a best of 5 series.
ALDS is best of 5
Wild card became best of 3
Used to be like this for the NBA too.
ALCS and World Series is best of 7
Jesus
Not possible for MLB to do best of 7 in all rounds it would tire out the pitching
Hockey and Basketball is best of 7 in all rounds
Yeah. I'm saying the NBA used to have best of 5 for the early series and then 7 games for the conference champion and Finals
One game away from giving me the 1A of my ultimate October in sports
Interesting
2A is Yankees elimination, you don’t even have to say it
No that's 1B
Tomato tomato
But tbh the Dodgers I want maybe a touch more
Spending the GDP of small countries can't even get to the nlcs, let alone world series
It will be glorious if it happens
Dodgers always have the right idea only for meltdowns to happen.
Dave Roberts will always be funny to me
Having Betts, Ohtani, Freeman and all that shit just to meltdown. God it's beautiful
Dodgers rn are the Rays if they spent money. Even down to the broken down pitching
It’s rough when your mvp is gone
This feels like something Kevin Cash would do.
Take out the grand slam
The Dodgers have scored 3 runs over their last 20 innings
You could build a time machine and bring out prime Barry Bonds and Ted Williams and it still may not be enough
New year but the SAME exact shit is happening again
Something is just NOT working
Even with the grand slam. That's still 7 runs in 20 innings. With that talent? IDK
Love to see it
You know, what's funny is, when I mention something like this about the Rays last year after the WC round, I get injury excuses. But when it's about the Dodgers with all this talent, it's suddenly about something not working beyond that. Funny what spending does.
1-0 😎
UTAH HOCKEY CLUB GOIN' UP ON A TUESDAY 🔥
They really didn't pick a name?
They should call the team Utah One Piece 💯
Yeah no helmets players play with a strawhat
They should call them the hawk Utah
Or The Réal Utah utas of Salt Lake City hockey club
No point if we don't score
Top of the table
@dim ledge the final year of Sam. Let’s fucking do it
Good luck
Cali plays at the same time but I’m with you from distance
Thank you for this
Of course, I gotta support my east coast playoff team
My favorite part about this is a Philly fan saying the Hamburglar is the superior mascot


They’re just jealous they can’t get that McDo money
Grimace deserves all the love. Rivalries aside he’s the best player in the league
Saliba is Madrid’s top priority for next summer……
I really like Forest this season
They're the team I root for in the prem
I read they're also interested in Trent
It's gonna be Rudiger and 9 offensive players next season 
I guess Dani won’t get his comeback
He's gonna be out for a full year at the very minimum by the looks of it
I think he tore three ligaments in his knee, that's devastating
Yeah that could be career ending
But in his post he said he’d be back stronger, which I doubt would happen if they get Trent. I understand that it’s better to get a player
They can play mbappe right back until Dani is back 
Yet you don't see Hamburglar attending games now, does he? 
LMAO the Philly meltdown going all the way to the Grimmace love
Does Owen power count?
Texans are placing WR Nico Collins on injured reserve due to his hamstring injury. He will be sidelined a minimum of four games.
Philly fans when they see Baker, Brunson, and Grimace in the same picture:
God I am glad Mac isn't our qb anymore
i honestly think as much credit as howie roseman gets, The man has given out Terrible QB contracts
thinking like
- Mike Vick after 1 good season
- Carson
- now maybe jaylen hurts
thats almost 9 years of bad contracts 🤣
Man, if only Wentz didn't get injured late in 2017.
kind of hesitant with jalen milroe as well just because we have seen what alabama qbs look like in the NFL
Perhaps Howie is overrated as a GM 🤫
Howie has a good eye for offensive lineman, ill give him that, and runningbacks
I mean, Howie has been able to keep his job for a long time.
Not many GMs can say that.
NFL stands for Not For Long. For a reason
true but howie has built some sway over the years
our GM is pretty good at getting receivers, i would def trade him for Howie. Consider our o line is always avg to below avg
You also gotta give him props. Even when he gives out the bad contracts to QBs. He's been able to get out of them and recover somewhat.
He should be praised enough for getting out of the hell that was Chip Kelly's reign of terror.
Let alone stuff like Dotson who’s doing jack all rn
But nooooo Howie is a genius!
People are paying out contracts for looking like a franchise guy as opposed to BEING a franchise guy
Paying someone like, Joe Burrow makes sense
Paying Trevor Lawrence?
Ehhhhh
trevor lawerence had 1 good season
Yes
Tbh DJ is the same idea but at least it’s 40 mil with an out
Not to mention DJ has been better than Trevor so far this season
feel like QBs should make like 30 mill
It should be more tiered
Like Baker and Geno are making roughly what I value them at
ya, i wonder how Purdy gonna be paid
Purdy is a franchise guy so idc what you pay him
because once he hits a big contract that team will eb dismanteled for sure
His body of work isn’t just one season
It’s an NFC Champ appearance as a rookie and a Super Bowl run in year 2
ya thats fair, though i would like to see more. I think because hes winning in the playoffs its def deserved
i just keep thinking about last year where they lost their left tackle and CMC and he was awful
if they pay him they are def going to lose something like that
QB is the most important position. It can't be helped.
Yeah Niners are about to lose their window
When? Idk
But you see it happening in real time
If they continue drafting well, that window will open sooner than later
imho i think it can be helped but i feel like max contracts in the NBA which are tied to like pro bowls , playoff wins would be a nice touch
I think a lot of skill position players have postseason bonuses baked in
i heard on a podcast that post season pay is trash
like literally pennies in comparison
Interesting
your post season pay is actually based on NFLPA rates
pro bowls are just for negotiation and some players do have incentives
but i think it should be more like a Tiered system like an nba max vs super max
Darius Slayton on the Giants for example has a ton of incentives baked in
GMs are gonna panic if they don't sign their QB. It's hard enough to find a franchise QB. Ask the Jets, ask the Browns, ask the Broncos.
Just nature of the game.
yes but i tihnk there has to be a tipping point because i think if you look at the NFL right now
unless that QB is literally top 5, the teams with the best run game are winning
those are minuscule in terms of gtds. i think its better if you get a scalled gtd based on your pro bowl maybe in like the last 2 seasons
Slayton might get the 100k bonus on reception and yards
Yeah but this is a mini contract for our WR2
So small amounts
Nabers is gonna break our bank lol
Idc obviously
Giant for life please
ya i just think the salary cap is going way too much into few positions
and Mahomes who took a 10 year deal is looking like the Steal of the century
he has a good rb, he has a good oline, he has a weapon for a TE
they have a good defense
all of them are getting equally paid because of that 1 deal
for sure
We’re eating extra Jones cap this year I see, probably to lessen any dead hit in future seasons
Yeah it’s not the end of the world, but 47m is a lot lol
Luckily we have a lot of rookies playing well
Only a lesson to be learned about hitching your wagon on a QB drafted by a previous failed regime.
True true
However I think Schoen’s job is safe
If this pace keeps up
do you think it will keep up?
This is his best rookie class by far, he fixed the Oline, and Jones is playing solid
be honest lol
We’re about to pass hardest part of schedule
End of year is easier
I think we’re trending in the right direction but Bengals game is huge
ya they beat the browns who might have the worst qb in the NFL, seahawks witha. rookie HC
acutally not even might
Then we play Eagles the week after
deshaun is the worst QB in the NFL its crazy
Yeah
That’s why it’s important to continue this trend
DJ best game was def against the seahawks
but i want to see his games vs Cowboys, commanders
In my head, if we beat Bengals and Eagles the week after, then I’m ready to say we can make the playoffs
He was fine vs those two
hopefully this a bounce back game for us
1-4 its not looking good 💀
praying for a wildcard spot
Bengals fan?
ya
Nice, good luck Sunday
joe is playing so well but our Defense is garbage
we are cooked
Shootout game incoming then
DJ still has a lot of games where he doesn't throw a TD pass. I say that's more of a reflection of how inconsistent this offense can be in scoring points.
He threw 2 vs Seahawks, none vs Cowboys, and 2 vs Browns and Wash
its a trend
i feel pretty comfortable getting into a shootout with the Giants
i think i am more concerned if your run game goes active
Can we win a shootout game
Singletary + Tracy
I expect 50/50 snaps
Unless Singletary is still out
i think we can make a comeback, the ravens are tough but the browns are trash and the steelers are starting to falter
Actually you have a good point because Daboll is probably gonna try to dominate time of possession
Like with Seahawks
Keep Burrow off the field
It's hard to say what the Bengals do. I'd say fire the GM. But Mike Brown still has the title even though Duke Tobin pretty much does all the work now. You likely have to rebuild the defense through the draft.
i think our GM is good tbh
i think the bigger problem is we are in the phase of contract purge
we need to sign big players and sadly that means lots of our good players left
Yeah. You gotta rebuild mainly through the draft the way the cap is going.
we are really missing bates , he was so good for us
Geno is terrible
carried by kyle hamilton
Even when the defense was decent. Eli Apple was a top DB on the team. 💀
he was ok
im not too worried about our corners, we do a good job drafting them
we are dealing with injuries atm
really concerned about Safety and line backer play
At the very least I think our game will be fun @celest zephyr
And not garbage TV
Final score be like 17-13
Sunday Night Football baby
I know I can't wait to lose to a backup QB because Bucs
Watching Eli Apple cover Kupp that final drive in the Super Bowl had me staring the same way I did watching the falcons blow the Super Bowl
The sense of dread and inevitability as he got abused
He’s only the second worst giant I’ve watched
What a beautiful super bowl that Falcons one was
So beautiful that I have a framed photo signed by James White of him scoring the winning touchdown that was a Christmas gift one year

That’s the worst I’ve felt about a sports event ever
Hurt extra because I was friends with and lived next door to Austin hooper who was the starting TE at the time
It was a beautiful day for NFC South rival fans everywhere.
Won me money too because I guaranteed the Pats would comeback.
Oof
That is an amazing gift
Wow
Conflicting one too since I knew falcons fans but rooted for the pats then
Commiserations to the Edmonton Oilers, who will now definitely not win the cup
Dallas Stars are always on these and I'm still waiting, Dallas.
I like whoever picked jersey there
I won't believe in Dallas until they prove it. I was told time and time and time again that Dallas was just too good for the Oilers
And then they get outted in 6
I’m high on them too
Healthy now… added a legit goalie and some decent vet pieces that aren’t push overs. Plus they are still the fastest and possibly most lethal team in the east when clicking
If the Oilers do win a cup, it'll be nice for Canada to get that stupid troll off the back
Lunik when Nico Hischier raises the cup:
But I'd rather never see Bowman win a title
Dallas and Carolina are similar lol everyone loves them but they seem to hit a brick wall each spring
Simple solution, Vancouver wins the title
Carolina trying to tell people defense wins championships while they can't score worth the crap when it matters most
Yeah that's exactly why I am not buying either of their hype til they prove it
Because I can already hear
"Dude no.you don't understand, Otter is just so good and Robo?? And those young wingers. They are just too deep for the Canucks, far too deep dude"
