[Inspecta Gadget]

Remember when people were talking up Sam Darnold and Derek Carr as MVP candidates after 2 weeks?

Pepperidge farm remembers.

I remember idiots buying into Carr, but no Darnold were people really doing that

Darnold was 4th or 5th favourite as late as week 5 from memory.

He was playing well at the time, but come on... It's Sam ****ing Darnold. If you dropped money on him you deserve to lose it.

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

I forgot how much I like Flacco's mannerisms when things aren't going well

 

[Paul Kersey]

Colts ****ed that.

 

[balmainforever]

surely flacco isn’t the answer.
Such a dumb throw on 3rd and 4th down

 

[hutchy31]

Flacco has been abysmal. That decision to throw long to Pittman in double coverage when there’s an open receiver for an easy first down was about as bad as it gets. Plus the horrible interception earlier in the quarter.

Richardson hasn’t been great, but might have eked out a win here.

 

[srobbo]

Fkkn idiots passing on those late downs when you have Taylor heating up.

 

[celestial]

I know they only traded him because they couldnt afford to offer him a new deal. but trading Buckner prob cost the 9ers a ring

They made a bigger mistake choosing to keep solomon thomas over bucker when they made the trade.

 

[ams4crows]

God a Lions Bills superbowl really would be so epic, please NFL gods, make it happen

 

[Shade]

**** you Ballard.

AR is exciting you don't know what your going to get.

Flacco is boring and predictable.

 

[balmainforever]

Fkkn idiots passing on those late downs when you have Taylor heating up.

Wasn’t even on the field for those last 3 plays

 

[Shade]

If Ballard still has a job after this season Lucas oil might burn to the ground.

 

[aussiedude]

tomorrow the NFL will surely flex the Colts/Jets out of SNF week 11.

CBS will protect KC/Bills, but Ravens/Steelers or 9ers/Seachickens, or even Bungles/Chargers would be better

 

[aussiedude]

If Morgan blocks the late rusher the Love pick 6 has a chance to be a big play.

Both teams have 6 wins and are historical rivals so you'd think this would be the pick.

Considering the NFC West are the kings of chaos this season and neither team might even be the best in the division, I wouldn't pick 9ers/Seahawls because you'd have no idea what that could be in 2 weeks

 

[aussiedude]

That was a good onside attempt other then the Colts guy taking a bad angle giving himself no real chance

 

[samFFC]

wont play against bad teams in the playoffs and cant hope for teams to beat themselves with drops or turnovers in playoffs.

I dont think the defense is an elite all time defense which you need if you want to run so much more then pass.

They are lucky they only play 1 more outdoor game the rest of the season.

Agree to disagree I guess!

7-1
Easily the best pts difference in the league
4-0 on the road, against decent opposition.

if not confident in them, hard to be confident in any team (which is also fair).

 

[Constantgin]

Imagine your gm and coach get together and decide to bench their high upside young qb for flaco. And this is the reward.

Fire them both now.

 

[AJ_2000]

He should be on Dak's salary and Dak should take his one

And his jury duty

8 years with Ballard.

And still no ****ing plan.

Shame as KC bills is a perfect replacement option

Backing anyone outside of Lamar and Allen is probably a mistake at this stage. I had a speculative punt on Love but I think that’s gone.

Can’t see Mahomes unless he lights it up in the second half of the season. Goff probably won’t win it even if Detroit finish with the best record. Anyone else has an issue either getting to a good enough record or simply getting to the numbers required.

To be fair Lamar was average last year compared to his previous MVP performance, and lit up a few key games at the end of the season.

I don't think you need flash numbers, a strong winning record and no disasters is almost good enough now.

PFF said during the week that Flacco hasn't been good at all, had just been in game scripts where he could rack up cheap passing yards mostly. Tonight showed they were correct.

Hard to believe the Colts offense looked better without Jonathan Taylor and Gardner Minshew QBing last year than it does now. I've been a Steichen backer but he needs to face some serious heat for this season.
