The NFL Redzone was a lot more entertaining than expected yesterday:
[list]
[*]Drake Maye got his first NFL concussion and sat out a good chunk of the New England win. Hate to see it.
[*]The NFL media can try like hell but don't tell me Caleb Williams is a good QB. He's the worst rookie starting QB by a mile. Odunze's talent is wasted with him.
[*]At what point does the media start to admit that Cincinnati just isn't good?
[*]Detroit looks like a juggernaut.
[*]The Jets and Aaron Rodgers shit show continues....love it.
[*]Some of the wins Minnesota got early (Houston, Green Bay, San Fran, Jets) don't have quite the shine anymore. I'll take the Ws for sure, but none of the those teams are powerhouses. Packers HC said he is very worried about Love's groin issue.
[*]Kirk Cousins has ALL day to throw behind that offensive line, he's going to eat big time if they keep protecting him like that.
[*]Baker Mayfield is coming back to earth: can play well but still makes dumb INTs. Same with Geno Smith. I think you can rehab QB talent, but only so far.
[*]Anthony Richardson is bad. And he's bordering on Mr. Glass territory.
[*]Not sure why they started Bryce Young again, but they did. Man that's a bad team in Carolina.
[*]No running game in Dallas and Prescott looks very mediocre to below average. Yikes time in Big D.
[*]Jayden Daniels looks big time....good kid as well.
[*](old man rant): the color commentating on these NFL games is beyond hyperbolic. Each team has at least 3 Hall of Famers....2 times a broadcast they've seen the 'best play they've ever seen'....this young man is 'about to take the league by storm'. Sigh. Rant over.
[/list]
...and ha ha to this:

p.s. An even worse look at it. WTF was this kid thinking?

Bonus for bullet points
lol, I like bullet points to succinctly relay thoughts. Easy to read.
The NFL is such an unpredictable animal week to week.

Another observation-- If Love can stay on the field, Green Bay isn't going away this year. They continue to win unimpressively, but it still counts. If Detroit and GB face off in the playoffs I would not be shocked if GB wins ugly.
NFCN looks loaded this year in a way that I don't really remember seeing. Certainly not recently.
I agree, Green Bay is resilient.

Agreed on all points. I'd add some smugness about Cincy/Burrow, as he was the Kirko-haters "look what HE can do behind a bad line!" counterpoint, but hissed when Cincy's defense was brought up...which, at the time, was far superior to ours.
I've thought Burrow was wildly overhyped, still do. I think most of that bunch of "kids" (showing my middle age, here) that got $50Million+ per season were and are overhyped, possibly excepting Mahomes...and actually, I'll throw him on the pile as well. He's doing very well in a very good system with a very good coach who's keeping some important pieces on the roster.
I've come to that point about Burrow as well. I love his swag, I think he's a very good NFL QB, but he gets injured a lot. And he plays to his image a ton. The 'Joe Cool' act is a bit contrived and is starting to grind my gears.

Burrow is a classic case of what is wrong with the media and the fans, they are so quick to crown a kid in a mans game. Its already happening with JJM and he hasnt taken a single meaningful snap for the Vikings, but so many are all but assuring anyone that will listen that our search is over. I like a lot about the kid, but I am not going to assume he is anything until year 3 or 4 for him, just to many variable and pressure on these kids when really they are just kids playing a game.
Got it on my calendar to check in with you on October 29th, 2028. ;)
