Nice Hands

 

[TheAristocrat]

Obligatory mention: I've tackled Adam Thielen

 

[Ministry of Pain]

In theory, if the first contact is to the ball, and not the player, would it not be a fumble?

Thats what I'm saying, the dumb dumb ref in the booth is saying he was down by contact, I never saw a Bears defender touch him until they popped the ball out
I still think it was a catch and fumble

 

[ChiefD]

Swift is getting plenty of touches tonight but has very little to show for it.

That’s what Travis said.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Bears defense definitely has brought the physicality all night long. They are playing like hungry dogs

Or simply hungry bears.

 

[simsarge]

How much is that diamond necklace worth you see Justin Jefferson wearing around his neck on the sidelines?

Should have spent a little more time in the film room with JJ and a little less in the Kay Jewlers store

 

[ProstheticRGK]

McCarthy looks like Matt Rife’s little brother.

only funnier

 

[ChiefD]

McCarthy + McConnell is miles better than Williams/Johnson.

 

[kupcho1]

I think the Vikings are looking at a 6-11 season.

 

[massraider]

Was Loveland over Warren a drafting mistake? Forget about system, always draft BPA.

My opinion before the draft was that Warren looked a LOT better after the catch in college.

Loveland could be a great NFL TE, but maybe not as exciting a fantasy asset as Warren.

Come on. I hope I’m taking the bait here.

Yeah, Jefferson clearly to blame.

 

[ChiefD]

Sounds delicious. From behind?

 

[massraider]

Shoot, Caleb is so dangerous, he injures guys that are behind him

Well played Chief, well played.

His knee was down when he punched it though...even if he touches not one piece of the player Im pretty sure that counts as down by contact

Apparently. But is shouldn’t ought to be so.

 

[kupcho1]

There's a line at the Vikings blue tent.
No bueno.

 

[timschochet]

Hey now Swift looked good there

 

[travdogg]

Bears remade OL has really been looking good tonight

 

[kupcho1]

Great run by Swift

 

[dmac37]

Swift driving through defenders

 

[travdogg]

Awful holding call. Guy just fell

Absolutely it should be so...touching his hair or a loose piece of his uniform is. If the ball is firmly secured in his hands, then touching it should count just as easily as a lock of hair or a loose piece of t shirt

 

[Penguin]

This is embarrassing Nailor leads the team with 28 yds receiving and Hock is the only guy with more than 1 catch, 2 for 6 to be exact. At leat in FFPC leagues that's 3.6

 

[ChiefD]

Swift is looking…….dang….what’s the word I’m thinking of…….

Help me guys. What’s another word for fast and quick?

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Swift flexing over someone seems, somehow, wrong. He is heating up, tho

 

[kupcho1]

The only reason I'm still up watching this terrible Monday night game is this thread.

I CANT'T QUIT YOU

 

[ProstheticRGK]

competent?

 

[renesauz]

They keep talking about how well Caleb has played, but Ive seen a lot of missed throws (I missed the first half though)

 

[ChiefD]

Agree.

 

[massraider]

Hey now Swift looked good there

It's notable, because most of his runs aren't.

I'd like to watch all his runs from the QB cam, I have a suspicion his vision ain't the best

 

[ProstheticRGK]

They keep talking about how well Caleb has played, but Ive seen a lot of missed throws (I missed the first half though)

I bet Caleb wants that one back.

 

[The Gator]

"And the ball just comes out"

As Caleb clearly threw the ball.

gd these announcers on the primetime games are gash

 

[Penguin]

I mean, 94 yards of offense through 3 quarters isn't that bad is it?

We all knew the Bears were a juggernaut

 

[ChiefD]

Ben Johnson is pissed because his QB refuses to throw to his first read. And i bet he knows they are open.


If one if you guys can post a film breakdown of the All 22 by tomorrow morning it would be appreciated.

Probably not upper tier but it's also a tough matchup.

 

[renesauz]

I bet Caleb wants that one back.

I've seen at least 4 or 5 passes (just this half) that were off target. I know he had guys in his face on several of them, but they were not a couple feet off but a couple yards. Stand in there and deliver if you wanna impress me

 

[doeseatplace]

Is it possible for a coach to script not just a first drive, but an entire game?

Asking for a friend.

Named Caleb.

 

[TheAristocrat]

This battle to be the fifth best QB from the 2024 draft class might be won by Spencer Rattler

 

[Uncle Leo]

Jayden should have been the top pick last year, eh?

I wasn’t arguing with you. I don’t think Caleb is very good, but he looks much better to me than I anticipated. I expected him to look like McCarthy has looked tonite. He has looked serviceable.

 

[kupcho1]

Anyone that took the over has to be questioning all of the decisions that brought them to this point in time.

 

[Chaka]

How many years before the RB position no longer exists. For speed put a WR in the backfield. For power runs put a TE in the backfield. No reason you can't call some of these scat backs WRs. Then add 1 TE and 3 WRs to the roster. Or beef up other places.

And how does one replicate Derrick Henry?

Okay, okay, okay... Put a WR on a TEs shoulders... NO, three legged race with a TE & a WR... I'm into something here. WAIT!!! Feed mayonnaise to tuna fish!

[IHEARTFF]

Vikings are still gonna win this?

Yes, Caleb is winning the QB battle.

 

[massraider]

I think both of these defenses are good.

But i think both teams should be looking to give their young QBs a better running mate down the road.

 

[doeseatplace]

I bet they do

 

[Terpman22]

This is a MOP thread. Careful with the tuna references.
