That "I'm highly successful" line is going to get brought up every single time the Packers lose this season from here on out. In other words, it's going to be interesting when the Packers eat these next two road Ls coming up.



I expect him to not double down on his own ego. McCarthy has been deflecting blame away from himself as far back as the 2007 NFC Championship game against the Giants.

That's Pack Culture though. Think about it - from Favre to McCarthy to Rodgers, they ALL do that.

Jared Goff will start Sunday for the @RamsNFL against @MiamiDolphins in front of a home crowd, per team sources. QBs were informed this am.

Aren't the Ravens ranked first somewhere?

I think they have fewest YPG or something.

I'd say Eagles are Top 5 in the NFC, but not #1. Feel like Seattle and Arizona at the least are better. At home Eagles D are playing like best in the league, but they need to have a shutdown performance on the road for me to consider them the top NFC defense. And they haven't delivered that aside from against a bad Bears team

PFF is highly subjective, that is why it was dismissed. Better to treat their grades like an opinion.

I agree they are subjective, but they are also one of the few that does a good job judging positional performance in some ways since they actually look at things other than pure stats.

This is when the dolphins collapse right? We lose a gimmie to a rookie QB first start? I can already feel it.

Yeah the secondary is too weak for me to actually think they're #1, but easily top 5. Have to consider strength of schedule in these things too though. The division has been good this year and they've played some high power offenses.

Romo needs to starting packing his bags for the Cleve. He can room with Gobias.

Unless Dak absolutely falls apart in the second half of the season or in the playoffs, Romo is totally getting dealt in the off season. But man, I wouldn't wish Cleveland on him.

I was talking to a friend about how I think the Ravens suck, and he accused me of being overly negative (which I am). He sent me this, and it, if it's all true, maybe this is a more well rounded team than I thought.

I'm desperately trying to cram down any hype.

They did play the browns twice, as well as games against the Jets and the Jags. You only need a middle of the road defense to look good in those games.

Last season? Though those injuries were more on the offensive side. This year, they're spread out. The defense can't afford this shit, though.
Click to expand...

Last year's injuries were more high profile, but far fewer in quantity. This season:

Ben
Hey Bey
Coates
Wheaton
Gilbert
Williams
Nix
Rogers
Foster
Green
Wallace

on offense, and

Cam
Shazier
Johnson
Golden
Dangerfield
Thomas
Davis
Golson

Have all missed time. That's just off the top of my head.

So Mike Evens has already decided that he will no longer protest during the anthem. I guess the Bucs owner being a huge Trump supporter put an end to that quick.

Yeah, exactly. Credit where credit is due, they held two of the top WRs in the league (AB, Julio) to no TDs, even though they both got over 130 yds. But both those games were at home where the D is just playing differently. Starts up front with the pass rush being way better at home, and Jenkins and McLeod both playing out of their minds in those games. If they're on they can handle top offenses, but they get exposed once the safeties and pass rush have even average games

I will say Jalen Mills has gotten progressively better as the season has gone on. Not seeing him get spanked as much anymore.

Yeah he's been steadily improving this season. In a year or 2 he could develop into a really solid CB, although I think he'd really shine in the slot. I'm concerned about his speed if we leave him on the outside
