Stress free Sunday yesterday as Scott Hanson and I watched 7 hours of commercial free football:
[list]
[*]The bottom teams in the NFL are absolute garbage. Just pathetically bad. When you keep making a sport league about one position (QB) with rules change, etc. and you as a NFL team don't have a good one, you are beyond screwed (see below)*
[*]Bryce Young ISN'T back, as much as the national media wants you to think everything is peachy in Carolina.
[*]Anthony Richardson is a very bad QB, Indy has a big problem.
[*]Bo Nix is going to be what he is: a decent QB at times that has a below average arm with a brain that wants to be a gunslinger. 3 INTs yesterday....and 3 TDs. The ceiling is low.
[*]Not sure what to make of Drake Maye. He loves running and that's going to catch up with him. Inconsistent, which is what rookies do. More to be learned.
[*]This is why Dolphins' fans either love or hate Tua: 3 INTs in a game they had to win. He usually doesn't throw picks, but he usually does something to hurt the team in important situations.
[*]I was waiting for Pittsburgh to come back to earth a bit, albeit against a very good team in Philadelphia. I don't trust Russ.
[*]Mac Jones is a nutbag. Why that dude is so cocky playing backup on a shit team like Jacksonville amazes me. They should have beaten the Jets, but 2 horrible INTs sunk them.
[*]Wild ending in the Washington-New Orleans game. I applaud them going for the win and 2 points.
[*]Meathead Dan Campbell's bravado will be his undoing, watch and see. So you know that you have to notify the other team now when you are going to do an onside kick? They know its coming, there's zero element of surprise. LMAO at Campbell.
[/list]
Our Vikings have clinched a playoff spot and all that remains is who and where. Gross that a team with as many wins as Minnesota will have is forced to go on the road, but that's the current set up.

Just a reminder Stickier...Peyton Manning's first five seasons, his TD/INT ratio was:
26/28 (rookie season)
26/15
33/15
26/23
27/19
Bo Nix is 20/11 in his rookie season with 4 games to play.

No doubt, Tom. Lots of story to be told yet with Nix. I'm just not a huge fan, but he's a good kid and leader.
