How ironic would it be if after all the wasted high draft picks looking for a QB the Jets get their answer from a scrub nobody has heard of? Then again it is the Jets, so probably par for the course.

Side note-Anybody who bets a lot of money on the NFL is nuts (and probably broke). So unpredictable. Look at the crazy upsets week after week. Last week people were talking about the Bengals being a top team and then they allow the weaponless Jets to score 34 on them, with a backup QB.

The Vikings confuse me - all these superstar playmakers and they run a dink & dunk offense. Checkdown Kirk is a waste of time. Their highly paid defense is always MIA too.
Sounds like Derrick Henry might miss some time. Fuck. The league is better when he is stiff arming or trucking defenders into orbit.

Out for the rest of the regular season at least. Such a bummer. That dude balls out.

Yeah, I had the exact same injury - hurts like hell and takes a long time to heal.

Dallass should trade Pollard to the Titans for some defensive help.

The opposition won't need to load up the box anymore.

Von Miller to the Rams. Woah

And the Broncos officially throw in the towel. Wonder if we could trade the coaching staff away as well? Has there ever been a team that won a game with worse coaching than that display yesterday?

Ugh. Really wanted to see him be the first to get back-to-back 2,000-yard seasons.

I think it's win for the Broncos and an overpay by the Rams. That's a lot for an old, expensive player on an expiring deal.

Vonn could certainly be the piece that brings the Rams a Lombardi trophy. I see why they did it. But if it doesn't work out...

Next year the Rams have no 1st, 2nd or 4th round pick.

In a league that chews up players as quickly as they come into the pros, that doesn't seem like a sustainable path to success.

Look at what they traded away for Stafford. Pure desperation with no eye to the future.

I think I agree, but they've been doing it for years (2 1sts for Jaylen Ramsey) and it has been working ok.

They have a "studs and duds" roster, but their studs are all at high priority positions. That's hard to do.

If 10 other teams tried their strategy, I'd bet 8 or 9 of them would fail. Over the last ~5 years, I give them a ton of credit for being bold, shedding sunk costs without hesitation (Cooks, Gurley, Goff) and hitting on lots of FA/Draft/Trade talent.

Rams are in win now mode at the very least.

I think Belichick is an anomoly in keeping competitive teams on the field most years. With a salary cap it is pretty hard to do that and you need to go for broke to win a championship.

Great trade for the Broncos IMO. Remains to be seen whether it's a great/good/shitty trade for the Rams.

I agree, the Rams are betting heavily on Von being a difference maker in a SB run this year. Can't fault them for trying but it's risky.

No brainer deal for the Broncos, a bad team that's not going to the playoffs with or without Von, and they'd lose him in FA after this season anyway.

Spot on. They have a D lineman who can't be blocked and probably the best CB in the game. That takes a lot of pressure off the rest of the D. Hell, Donald and Ramsey take pressure off the whole organization.

Yep. I vote we fire Fangio now and get a head start on the Kellen Moore sweepstakes.

I hear George Paton and Dan Quinn are buddies from their time at the Jets 15 years ago...

That would make sense but running the ball and controlling the clock keeps their D off the field.
Dallas D played will yesterday, but is not that good, just been getting a lot of turnovers but giving up big chunks. Demarcus Lawrence will be back in a couple of weeks and that will help.

How did Drew Brees get so much hair?…..

He's not just the president of Hair Club for Men, he's also a client?

I didn’t watch the game and have no idea if he’s the next Peyton Manning or not but I wouldn’t discount the Jets ability to ruin any potential quarterback. Who knows if any of them would have turned into something if they didn’t come up in the Jets….

Personally I think bad organizations can ruin good quarterbacks in a way that can be difficult to come back from.

KC defense is just awful.

Hi, can I share some stories with you about the last 22 Cleveland Browns starting quarterbacks?

Kellen Moore is an excellent O Coordinator, but that doesn't translate into a good head coach and I don't think Moore is a good head coach candidate. Plenty of OCs and defensive coaches who went into head coaching and were not successful. Dan Quinn and Jason Garret are 2 with ties to the Cowboys. There is a lot more on your plate as a head coach.

I got bad news for you, but sure. Go ahead.

I’m sure there were a few quarter backs in there that good coaches could have made something with.

I wonder if we are seeing this happen in Jacksonville right now.

If I had a kid who was a top QB, I’d encourage him to look very closely at the coach he’d be under. Just like I think it is super important for young professionals to take a job at a company that will teach them a lot.

I see what you did there.

Monday night's game sure didn't bring up the quality of football for the weekend.

I found it was more palatable listening to Eli and Peyton jammer on in the background while knocking out some Christmas shopping.

Breaking news: Cleveland will not trade OBJ today. That means that the $14M run blocker will remain with the team through the end of his contract this season.

A Ravens LB visits a nightclub in Cleveland and you have one guess on what happened.

I mean, I don't like hearing when anyone gets shot, but what is he doing at a club in Cleveland when its not a bye week and they aren't playing the Browns?

Doesn't he know how much Browns fans hate the Ravens?

If you want real cred as a Ravens LB you need to have received or handed out at least one gunshot or stabbing, so where's the best chance of that occurring?

If history serves as any record, that place is during the Super Bowl in Atlanta.

Given that we're a couple years past the last Super Bowl here in town, I suppose an early-week flight to Cleveland could fit the bill.

In fairness he's also pretty good at batting down passes.
