OT: The Other Sports Thread Part X - MLB back?

[GoodKiwi]

Looks like Saints vs Panthers was a good one.

Yeah, I saw the last 5 minutes of it and CAR blew it by failing to score any points after being first and goal at NO 3 yard line.

49ers Baby. Messing with the Packers.

A brutally disappointing SNF matchup from the competitive standpoint.

Was expecting better, but I'd like to see San Fran's defence manhandle Brady one day soon.

Do you think this is a better edition of the Niners than the 2011-13 team?

Maybe not yet. It'll depend on how far they get and next year. Those were great teams.

Watching the Niners put a whooping on my beloved Packers was all sorts of painful . It wasn't even close and frankly could have been even worst. I sure wouldn't want to face that defense in the playoffs. This is the best San-Francisco has looked since probably the late 90's.

I would put the 2011 team above this squad, but, yes, it's close. This year's edition has insanely effective running schemes, but is worse at QB. Defense is a wash IMO (and I only say that cause of Bosa).

The Rams are getting absolutely dismantled at home by the Ravens. I don't think the second half is worth watching at this point, maybe only to see the greatness that Jackson is.

Switching to the Lakers game lol, this ones ovah

Ravens are hosting the 49er's next weekend. Hold on black birds, feathers will fly.

One "Like" for whoever knows what I'm referencing with the updated title of this post.

So Darnold has looked great over the last few weeks. Maybe the Jets could spend all of their money and draft picks on an 0-line and pass defense so they won't be a total embarrassment next year.

Kevin Smith really does have a way with dialogue . Too bad he's so hit and miss on pretty much everything else.

I think they're better...their respective D's are comparable but the offense is much better with the 2019 edition .

Jimmy G > Alex Smith

Jimmy G > Alex Smith

That would be my argument as well, Smith can only execute 10 yards or less plays and the whole playbook had to be toned-down a bit because of it. The 2019-20 edition can beat you with both the short and the long game.

Smith executed the simple plays, nothing was off-script with him...so in other words, if everything went according to plan on any given play, Smith could execute.

But anything off-script was too much for him to handle.

To me both offenses aren't even close...2019 49ers offense is much more creative and diverse and has more playmakers.

The real debate between the 2011-13 49ers and the 2019 49ers is on Defense...

Justin Smith, Patrick Willis, NaVorro Bowman, Goldson, Whitner...those years were something else for the Niners.

But this 2019 49ers D-line is ferocious

I have to say Lamar sure is impressive. He still throws ducks but at least they're accurate ducks. Amazing that he can't throw a tight spiral though, lol.

Best QB in the league this season in my book, probably the MVP as well. Baltimore went from the most boring, least imaginative offense to the most fun to watch in 2 years and I couldn't be happier.

I bought tickets to one of the Montreal showings of Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. It's $50 and will have a Q&A with him (and Jason Mewes?) afterwards. Even if the movie isn't great, the Q&A should be fun, I hope.

Oh for sure, he's a great storyteller and he can talk all day, his podcast is a lot of fun when he's got a good guest on . He's a cool guy all around and he'll probably be high as a kite too so it's gonna be twice as funny

They're still a very basic offense but because Lamar is so dynamic they're very hard to stop.

Lamar Jackson will need to learn how to slide. Taking hit after hit will take its toll.

Sincerely,

Every running QB in history.
