Never seen a professional football team be so incompetent running a screen in my lifetime. This season's squad was not that, but I still remember we tried a screen with XL. Yeah, I feel as though screens and motions make more sense if you have explosive/shifty players on the roster and we really don't.

Only adds credence to my belief that the moment you pay any QB the big bucks, you have maybe one or two more years of a real shot at a SB before that window all but closes. The QB and the coach can only do so much to overcome the reality that a QB eats up too much cap space and you can't keep great talent around them. You have to replace them via the draft and if you don't nail that, you're screwed.

Looked to me like DJ started jogging not expecting the ball. As much as I didn't like trading him away, that was a flaw of his. But just not a smart decision to even throw there in the first place. With the conditions, adjusting one's route on the fly would've been a lot more difficult. Also, given how the situation played out, DJ would've needed to flatten his route a lot earlier to not enter a congested space. Finally, people must have tunnel vision because they are completely ignoring the actual throw. I'd say that had too much lead but more egregious, does not look like a throw that anticipated DJ flattening his route at all. Oh, and Curl had already read the route correctly and was moving along with DJ even before Caleb released it. Even if DJ did everything right, the only thing that might've changed was DJ trying to tip the ball away from being intercepted.

I'm probably one of the few that isn't shocked by this. Someone had to take the fall for not making it this year without Mahomes to worry about. The surprise is that Beane didn't also get the boot. A promotion? With that roster? A guy like McDermott is not going back to DC and even if he was, I'm not sure I want him. Those Bills defenses has blown games in big moments too. The one with Mahomes is an egregious one, but even this weekend, Bills defense could've won it for them in regulation but instead let Nix throw a bomb for a TD.

I really don't think Seattle wanted to see the Rams. They're the one team that can push them and that means Darnold will actually have to make plays. If not him being a ticking time bomb, that injury he has may be the determining factor.

Just waiting to see how the Rams give this game away.

Rams just had their Nakamura moment. What was that coverage?

Watch as the Bears score a TD and go for two.

Why would you run there? The two-minute was going to stop the clock anyways.

Okay, that one you can't blame Stroud at all.

Asking Stroud to throw in this game...

Start General Mills!

That one is more on the receiver, tbh.

Josh Allen! No! Oh, sorry. That was yesterday. CJ Stroud! No!
