2022-2023 NFL Thread

Yeah the only reason Watson now needs to be made an example of is because for years now they've swept these cases under the rug and made "maybe 3 games" the standard.

Now they have to drop the hammer on Watson themselves because of their past failures, no judge in the future can be allowed to say "I have to go with 6 games because I won't change NFL precedence."

Hall of Fame game tonight.

To my knowledge we've zero Jags fans, so I'll probably be the only person here bothering to watch any of it.

I'll let you know how the opening drive went, because after that I'll probably stop too.

I'm shocked that Josh Jacobs is starting.

I'm more shocked that he's in for more than one drive.

I'm not shocked that Brandon Parker is still fucking terrible.

[eschatological]

peak pre-season punditry, Chris Simms actually said on a live, nationally televised broadcast, that Zach Wilson is the QB he expects to take a Burrow-esque leap this year.

We used to be a country. This kind of profanity and filth shouldn't be allowed on television. Think of the children.

All four Raiders RBs in action tonight.

Drake gets injured immediately, because of course he does.

[xskarma]

I watched most of that.

From now till after the Superbowl there's a NFL or College game every single week.

FOOTBALL SEASON BABY.

I stuck around long enough to see Walker get a roughing the passer penalty, so basically just the first play.

You missed the refs in preseason moment where they missed an obvious helmet to helmet and had a call overturned by a challenge flag.

Overall I was impressed with our first outing. Stidham has taken that backup spot behind Carr, the running back committee all look dangerous and I liked the playcalling.

Brandon Parker is a liability, and the rest of the Oline doesn't look much better.

Watching Hard Knocks, slightly bummed that half these coaches were with the Saints. Wish we still had 'em, especially with Payton gone.

RB James White just retired. He sustained a hip injury last season, and was still walking with a gait as short as a few weeks ago, even though he was on the roster for the Patriots.

Now calling it quits.

We'll have this game and this play forever though.

Robbed of the Super Bowl mvp that game. I love Brady, but James White is what got the offense started in that come back and also ended the game. One of the best super bowl performances we will ever see from a guy most people still don’t know outside of New England

Idk, falcons having to switch to zone after becoming too tired for man coverage had a lot to do with the offense resurrection.

I'm begging any other preseason game to start soon and save me from watching Goff vs Mariota.

[eschatological]

It's some real sicko shit to watch Lions vs. Falcons pre-season....


...it me. I am that sicko. I just watched Desmond Ritter throw a pass.

[Grube]

Watson is off to a good start.

Not sure why he is even playing when to begin with. Would be a shame if he got hurt before his vacation.

[Northern Goblin]

Swapped to the Browns/Jags game to watch Watson have a stinker of a first drive, and a disaster of a second one.

This is delicious.

Jesus, his third drive was even worse. He looks terrible.

Swapped to Jets/Eagles

Wentz looks competent. Zach Wilson has not improved at all, and ended the first quarter injuring himself diving for a 7 yard scramble in midfield that was 3 yards short of the first down marker.

Jets best hope their defence gels. It'll do a lot of carrying this year.

Jags fans gave Watson a nice welcome.

Looked like he hurt himself trying to make a cut before diving. Probably not a good sign.

Jordan Love continuing to Jordan Love.

[Pendulous]

Evan McPherson is still an absolute beast. That is all.

[eschatological]

Real happy with the Bills first pre-season game. Somehow won with 5 turnovers, but they were all from lower-depth chart guys.....but not our rookies. Our rookies and younger players were awesome. All the mistakes came from free agent vets. Hope Sean McD drills in their heads that shit won't fly here.

[Grube]

Most of Denver's starters aren't playing, but one of them that did already hurt 2 plays into the game. Went through like 8 ILBs last year, might end up doing that again.

Watching Josh Johnson play shows why teams only sign him when their season is already over.
