Saturday NFL Games Thread

If Jags lose, Houston hosts the Browns.
If Jags win, I'm not sure if Texans would be #6 or #7, they'd go to Miami, Buffalo, or Kansas City.

Every team in the league would love to have Minshew as a backup

Lol, loved watching him blow it against Dallas last year.

 

[DFWJC]

I think Bills will win though. And then Steelers would be out right?

Only if the Jags lose—which is possible given Lawrence his still hurt and it's road game

 

[Redsfan_83]

The Panthers continuing to kick themselves for passing on CJ Stroud. lol

Bigger concern iis their trading of the pick to get him

 

[rambo2]

Lmaooo did it hit the cover or something

No, but throw in hitting the post on purpose and you can see it's rigged.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Stroud throws the prettiest ball since Jeff George IMO...........man

Yes…traded two 1sts, two 2nds, and DJ Moore
then didn‘t take right guy

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

Isnt this the 3rd season in a row when they Colts had a WIN and IN game in the final game of the season and failed?

 

[Jayinem]

Yes…traded two 1sts, two 2nds, and DJ Moore

And have to watch the Bears take the #1 pick that should have been yours this year.

Funny thing is Reich and the GM loved Stroud. The idiot billionaire owner wanted Young. They took Young then he fired both of them. He's Dan Snyder 2.0.

They traded the farm and had they held on to the pick they would have the first overall selection and a shot a better QB than they one they rolled the dice on. Aikman just said during the broadcast that when you draft a QB you want to feel after their first year that you have your franchise QB. The Texans certainly feel they do but no way can the Panthers feel like Bryce Young is the answer. They have to feel sick.

 

[Jayinem]

I think anyone would fail in Carolina right now, even Stroud. Not saying Stroud isn't better than Young, he is clearly, but I don't think you can call Young a bust. Carolina beat Houston, one of their only victories of the season.

No worries. Tepper will just fire a few more people for a mistake he pushed on people who know more about football than he ever will.

The game was in Carolina, but yes the Panthers won. Not sure how, though.

And it's a draft with two potential franchise non midget QBs.

Just a piss poor trade with no short upside. Young could "bounce back" but they gave the farm away with not much return to date

One step further is you draft a potential franchemise QB you have to build around them which is kind of a hard thing to do without draft picks... Makes it incredible to see what the Rams are doing

I had just noticed that and tried to correct it at the same time you posted, you're right.

Stroud had a bad game on the road as a rookie, it happens. Young wasn't fantastic but outplayed him.

******. They are gonna sneak in.

Not a "sneak in".
Jacksonville was the favorite to repeat as AFC South Champions.
Texans (and the Colts) had dismal 4-win seasons that was the result of FO ineptitude + substandard coaching.
Yet both teams went into the final game tied for the division lead with the Jaguars.
Houston was 3-4 at the end of October- but went 6-3 down the stretch so that their season finale - on the road - was an opportunity to get a postseason berth.

 

[Motorola]

Watch JAX lose tomorrow giving the Texans the division and Pittsburgh squeezes in

Titans will probably hand the ball off to Henry 30+ times to wear the Jaguars defense down.
