NFL: 2022 NFL regular season news & notes discussion thread

[Unholy Diver]

Kickers can be fickle. If they are off they can cost you games.

Daniel Carlson had a brutal start for the Vikings after they drafted him. Got cut a few games into his rookie year then picked up by the raiders. Pro Bow kicker with them.

Blankenship was in year 3. So kind of time for him to show some consistency. Missing kicks was one thing but I heard he sent 2 kickoffs out of bounds to give houston a short field at their own 40.

He declined a fair bit in season 2, and while he did put 2 kickoffs OB, in his defense he hasn't been the kickoff guy in the past, the punter had handled that

He's not necessarily a bad kicker, but he is nothing all that special either

How many K do not kickoff in the nfl? I get it for the older guys but you kind of expect them to do it as well? Especially someone as young as RB.

It's amazing how NFL Twitter is not realizing this stuff is all EA paid advertisement for the new Madden.

Brett Favre is an example of NFL hero worship gone wrong

Favre's alleged involvement in diverting welfare funds to build a volleyball stadium is perhaps the latest, gravest example that his carefully curated image as working class hero-turned-NFL royalty is a facade.

I've never thought Favre was an angel, but a multi-millionaire manipulating the welfare system of one of the poorest states is really low.

I wouldn't have understood this before I became a parent. A 43 year old with a history of concussions winning his 7th SB and then playing 2 more years is pretty sad.

The Cowboys are the living embodiment of that spiderman pointing meme.

I envision 2 hot dog men pointing at each other

Lamb is going to go into the offseason expecting to get superstar money. Things could get ugly with the Cowboys if he has a bad season and the team doesn't offer him the big contract he wants.

Well, check for one halftime show I probably won't watch.

She’s a big name act that will draw non football fans to the halftime show.

And that's fine but I'm not a fan of her music, never have been

To each their own. As a west coast viewer of the SB I usually end up getting my dinner at half time. So don’t typically catch the half time show.

If they don't bring out Tom Holland for that show, then what are we even doing here

After 71 years the Pro Bowl is done and gone. There will be a skills competition and flag game instead.

A Patriots RB blew out his knee (Edward’s I think his name was #47) at some flag game.

I think it was on a beach. He missed 3 years. Nearly had his leg amputated. Peyton Manning was on the field with him. It hyperextended so bad that it was hanging sideways.

This is the best thing I’ve read all week

Terry Bradshaw says he lost $1M on last week's games.

 

[Blitzkrug]

That would be terrifying.

That would be terrifying.

Makes more sense than adding OBJ with the emergence of Davis at WR to go opposite Diggs.

Is the Bills issue with their run game the RB or poor run blocking?

Issue is whether CMD will be healthy come trade deadline.

He is showing as a $18.3 mill dead cap hit in the off-season for Carolina. Only a $1 mill base salary this season. ONly carries a sub $9 mill cap hit this season.

Shoot your shot. Next year is when Josh Allen's cap hit becomes astronomical. Go for it.

Anybody can get hurt at any time. And they have Singletary for load management. My fantasy team would cry though.

If you're pushing chips to the middle, you accept the risks. And it's definitely time for the Bills to push chips to the middle.
