CeeDee Lamb was fined $20k for having his jersey untucked last week. Aaron Rodgers was fined $14k for ignoring COVID protocols all season. I get the enforcement rules are different, but it just looks bad and doesn't add up.

Falcons created a helluva dynamic they'll have to deal with. Kirk Cousins will be rehabbing a torn achilles. Meanwhile Michael Penix Jr is gonna be throwing piss missiles at practice every day and everyone on the team is gonna notice.

Is Josh Allen in the same stratosphere as Mahomes and Rodgers?? I think he officially is for me.

So how do we reconcile this: he wouldn’t be granted a catch until he survives the ground. So why is he ruled down once his knee hits (ball short of the goaline) before the he completes that act? Loophole @ProFootballTalk

This is why the run game is so important. When you have a big lead, you can lean on it. After going up 27-0, the Chargers called 25 pass plays and just 8 run plays.

I don't like the Kirk Cousins pile on today after the Vikings had one of the worst defensive performances we've seen all season. I understand he's not a superstar. But he is one of the LEAST concerning things in Minnesota.

At this point, the precedent is that MVP goes to the QB with the best stats on the best team. And I get that, Tom Brady has a better MVP case than Josh Allen. But watching that Bills-Bucs game yesterday, you could tell Allen was the best QB on the field.

The Packers taking Jordan Love pissed me off. It just did. Aaron Rodgers isn’t going anywhere for a few years. Their run defense is no better than when the 49ers embarrassed them in the NFC Championship. I don’t get it.

The laziest take going is to pile on Josh Allen for turnovers. Or to plaster the 0-6 OT record and attribute it to him. He was the best player on the field in the entire league yesterday. Also I checked the rule book: someone else on the Bills is allowed to make a play.

Everyone knows how much I love Patrick Mahomes. Yet as good as he's been the last 2 years, Josh Allen has been even better. Allen just needs that big win to take him over the top. Sunday is that chance.

Crazy thing about all 3 Chiefs Super Bowls: don’t think they were the better team on the field for the majority of the 3 games. And then Mahomes puts the Superman cape on. All-time legend already.

If the trade assets are equal, I'd rather have Baker Mayfield than Jimmy Garoppolo. Could Baker have done with the 49ers what Jimmy has? Absolutely, and more.

Coaches I've worked with. Josh McDaniels, Jon Gruden, Bill Belichick. 17 or 18 seconds was the line of demarcation for being able to get a play down the middle and still spike the ball. Cowboys doing it with 14 seconds shows they don't know the mechanics of that play.

You just fired a coach who finished above .500 in the AFC East for 2 straight years. A division with the Bills who are not going away. A division with Bill Belichick. And by the way Flores has been kicking Bill's butt for 3 straight years.

I know everyone has wanted to give Dak Prescott Comeback POY since this offseason, and then started engraving the trophy after Kickoff night. But Nick Bosa is my CPOY right now. Dak (and Joe Burrow) have been good QBs. But Bosa has been a Top 5 defender in the NFL.

Since Bills drafted Josh Allen in 2018:.1 WR, 2 TE drafted in Rounds 1-4. Since Packers drafted Jordan Love in 2020:.4 WR, 3 TE drafted in Rounds 1-4. Past time for Buffalo to start investing in their biggest investment.

I think there’s a risk the Jaguars are taking with their locker room. Tim Tebow (as nice as he is) cleary doesn’t deserve the shot he’s getting. And I wonder what his teammates will think when a lesser player is taking up practice reps as a marketing ploy.

Zach Wilson’s game vs the Pats was obviously not good. The postgame press conference was not a good look. The wild overreaction and cherry picking of his worst plays to conclude that he can never be a real QB is also not good. Let’s go through each pass play from Sunday:.

On paper it might've looked like the 49ers D shut down the Dolphins O. Definitely not the case. Walked away thinking better of the Dolphins than I had before. Mike McDaniel had guys wide open all day. Havent seen the SF defense exposed like that in a long time.

The @Vikings just revamped there whole secondary with two picks. Andrew Booth has unreal acceleration to break on the ball or just to come down hill and crush a wr on a screen. Love the pick! No question a top 5 corner in the draft for me. Cine and Booth give vikes attitude.

The game is played on the field. But what we saw from Zack Wilson today, there is no comparison between his workout and Trevor Lawrence’s. It was out of this world awesome. The degree of difficulty of the workout was high and he made so many high level throws.

Cowboys fans, let’s not go to crazyville. It wasn’t great yesterday for Dak. But who do you want instead? Also, the 49ers have better WR, better TE, better RB, better O-line, and the best D in the league. Just because there’s a star on the helmet doesn’t mean you should’ve won.

I see some calling this as a bad throw by Daniel Jones. This is a throwaway. If that ball is on target, it’s a pick. He read the play, realized the CB’s leverage, and threw it where only his guy could get it. Also, Giants fans, stop over-analyzing scrimmage clips on August 8th.

The @BuffaloBills just got one of the most freaky specimens in the nfl draft. Keon Coleman has incredible route running ability. He is dangerous with the ball in his hands. And he has a chance to be the best 50/50 ball wr in the nfl with his size and jumping ability.

Sure Diggs might’ve been open on the shallow cross. There was also a guy open in the end zone. Josh Allen got bumped right as he threw because of a good rush by Chris Jones. I got no problem with that decision.

The @nyjets offense is gonna scare defenses next year. Mike Lafluer is creative and he has some talent to play with. Oline is on the right track. Three really good wideouts. And now Breece Hall who is the great in the pass game and the biggest home run hitting rb in the draft.

Jeremy Ruckert.I have NO DOUBT that this is the best TE in this draft. He’s good in all areas. Hand on the line of scrimmage to block? Check. Line up at FB to smash an LB? Check. Smooth release into a route? Check. With Ruckert & CJ Uzomah, @nyjets suddenly strong at TE.

@Vikings needed to come away with a big time olinemen in this draft. The way they play with running the ball the play actions and boots. Christian Darrisaw in my opinion is arguably the best pass protecting tackle in the draft and he has a nasty ness about him.
