I’m not even sure the NFL is worth watching anymore. All it does is add air time which adds ratings, or so the league things. Teams are about to get cutthroat, honestly I don’t see an issue with it. Probably still not worth watching though.

BS, it's still not fair.. now the team with the ball 2nd can just go for all 4th downs and play way looser then the team that gets the ball 1st. How is that fair? TD wins was the best way, it still made playing defense important.

Yeah, this was the right move. Needs to be in the regular season, too.

The whole "teams have to play defense" argument would hold water if the rules didn't favor the offense so heavily. The old way would have worked for the 1973 Bears, but it's a scoring league now and this rule needs to reflect that reality.

I am also thinking how this new rule could make games more exciting. Think about last year Chiefs go down and score and then the Bills go down and score and instead of kicking a field goal they opt for 2 or the Chiefs do the same forcing the Bills to go for 2 on their possession. 
I see nothing but positives from this rule change.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By frankw · Posted

      It amuses me how Goff's name the last few years is often used to compare to subpar or underperforming QB's. Now on the surface I get it. But when you look at his numbers he's been the same QB all along. He's improved his completion % but even with the Rams he averaged 63.4. And that Super Bowl he played in they should have won honestly. If we can get a QB as good as Goff I'll be pretty damn pleased.

      And it remains to be seen if Goff has that ability or not. Plenty of very good QB's like Goff were not able to get over those playoff humps. Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, etc. You can still be an upper tier QB and never get over that hurdle. McVay just thought(and hasn't been wrong yet) Goff was never going to be that guy.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      You literally simply have to think logically for either of those guys. Smith is locked up on a deal for 2025, so we would have to trade for him or he gets cut. Neither of those scenarios are likely in the first place.  Wilson will be 37 in 2025. Why on earth would he have any interest in a situation that is far worse than he was given in Denver and wasn't able to win there? He's a guy that can drop into any ready to win franchise in the NFL and immediately elevate their chances of winning(provided they already have QB issues).  Frankly, that is either speculation that even David Newton should be embarrassed by or it shows how disconnected with reality some people in our organization are.   I do agree with him on getting a veteran QB, however. That's our best chance to keep developing our talent.
