NFL 2021

[TheBigIguana]

I find the whole Gruden thing so hypocritical. He's fired for making a slur years ago. Meanwhile there are constantly players up and down the league that have been charged with more serious offences (domestic violence, drug abuse, rape, criminal damage, carrying firearms etc). And yet somehow after the dust settles on such incidents, the players are back in the game and all is forgiven.

Just to name a few:
Richard Shearman - arrested on a DUI and domestic violence. Crashed his car and tried to break into his wife's parents house...free agent then picked up by the Buccs

Marshon Lattimore - arrested on possession of a stolen gun

Rashard Higgins & Jedrick Willis - Drag racing in main city streets

Melvin Gordon - DUI

Antonio Brown - Assault and battery. Free agent the picked up by the Buccs.

Kareem Hunt and Tyreek Hill were both charged with domestic abuse / battery to women, the latter punching and choking his pregnant girlfriend...yet both did not serve any jail time and were picked up by the Browns and Chiefs in wake of the incidents.

These are just a few of the more notable names, there are hundreds of cases over the last 20 years. NFL turns a blind eye to this stuff all the time.

The show must go on eh?

Gruden got canned because what he did prevents him from doing his job. The NFL will tolerate awful people if they do their job well. Gruden can't do that anymore and he's out. They've never pretended to spend a lot of time on the morality of it.

nothing like the premier league who've just let a country of head choppers and women haters take over a whole club

Cracking start to tonight’s game.

I thought Bucs must be tired ?

 

[Yank]

I'm bored if this game. Let's go through a coach's email at the half.

Belichick is too easy to pick. I nominate the new guy out of LA who goes for it every 4th down. Hes gotta be fast and loose on the internet, like a Kardashian.

The Titans coach who always reminds me of Unsworth is my pick..

Oh yea, Mike Vrabel... that's a good pull on both, the emails and Unsworth. He's a weirdo, and I don't like him, I'd like seeing him canned. no pun intended either, but don't forget the guy on the can

 

[Toast]

Eagles getting nowhere here.
Game started well but cant see this getting close.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Bucs only vulnerability is passing intermediate and deep against them. Hurts is struggling to hit any of these and it isn't close as a result.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Good fight by the Eagles. Hurts is too inconsistent for me. People will continue to have their Brady hard ons but he's pretty average with an amazing team. I'd be surprised to see the Bucs in the Super Bowl again.

Aye, just an average 7 superbowl-winning 44 year old.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Aye, just an average 7 superbowl-winning 44 year old.

I'm talking about right now today.

I don't really feel like rehashing the whole Super Bowl as an individual stat argument but it is dumb and there are really good ways to talk about Brady's greatness without going to that. But no one ever seems able to.

The Bucs still don’t have most of their starting secondary and they’re 5-1. As long as they can all get back in there and playing again, they should be right in the mix. If they get past that game in New Orleans they could easily be 9-1 at Thanksgiving.

Is the secondary coming back? I thought they were all bad injuries.

Winfield has a concussion, Murphy-Bunting has a dislocated elbow, Davis pulled his quad, and Sherman pulled his hamstring tonight. They’re all medium term injuries. No one’s out for the year.

Being put on injured reserve in the NFL has changed. It used to be if you went on IR you were out for the year. Now you only have to miss three games and you can come off of it.

For some reason I thought they were worse. I don't think the secondary was particularly good early on when they were healthy either though.
