I really hate that PI call. Ball was 10 yards underthrown. Defender turned his head. I honestly wonder if it'd be a legit offense to just underthrow deep balls and play for PI calls.

Every NFL team drills the underthrow DPI play. It would be malpractice not to in today's NFL.

Yeah - it’s also a skill. Not every WR sells it well. Watson is very, very good at it. He always knows right where the ball is so he can come back to the spot, regardless of whether he could catch it or not.

Not many route concepts I hate more than 3 curl routes all next to one another. DK, JSN, and Fant were all standing about 4 yards apart at the same depth on that almost INT. Howell shouldn't have thrown it, but man, that's adding to the list of many times I've been really underwhelmed by Ryan Grubb's playcalling, and yet it seems like the media or whomever is pretty impressed with him. I'd argue its a little more like Zac Taylor where good (great in Taylor's case) players are making a mediocre playcaller look like he knows what he's doing. Looking back, its possible (probable?) that Penix/Odunze/McMillan were doing that at Washington.

How about the LA Chargers, like to hear your thoughts now after they get trounced by the Bucs today at home
I felt like they have been playing way above their reality as a team
Harbaugh was a fool to strip them of all skill talent around Herbert and then doesn't draft an Odunze as an example to help him out
He's set on doing it Jim Harbaugh's way and he didn't want Vets around to question him, I honestly believe he would love to trade Herbert

I actually think the opposite. I think Herbert is why Harbaugh took the job, and Harbaugh loves him. I think he felt Allen was an older player they could get something for, and Williams was coming off an ACL tear. I think they felt Alt would help more than Odunze, and I'd agree with that. If Harbaugh didn't want vets around to question him, then Mack/Bosa were interesting guys to keep as they likely would have gotten more for each of them than they did for Allen.

I also wonder a little if this was more of a long-term rebuild and they are secretly a little surprised to be a playoff contender so quickly. I think Harbaugh is doing a great job this season. He's a coach of the year candidate in my opinion, though not who my pick would be.
 
Love is on my 2025 do not draft list. Just too inaccurate. Has a great scheme and can draw PI’s left and right but just misses too many passes with inaccuracy and timing.

Same. He was really solid early on. Has been regressing a bit as the season has gone on.

Might be DC’s are getting a book on him, similar to Stroud.

Certainly possible they’ll both continue to develop and become more consistent next year though, so if his redraft value is depressed a bit, I’d probably take a flier as a QB2.

He was better last year. Terrible to start this year but has been playing better. Don’t understand all the under thrown deep balls but he has been a little better
 
Tirico is going nuts like the guy Beckham’d it.

Mike, ease up. Nice catch. Very nice. But we see probably at least one better than that every week in the NFL as catch qua catch.

I like words. I’ve never seen or heard “qua” before. Had to google it. Thank you for enriching my vocabulary, you wordsmith.
 
Bullard is not a star. Zero idea what CC is talking about. Nice player…Evan Williams was the one starting the year showing out before a couple injuries.

I can’t help but think Darnold turns back in to the pumpkin that he’s been all these years. I just . . . maybe not. There’s really no defense in his division that can wreak havoc.

I’d have thought so, too. But not the way he’s been playing the last few games. JJ is roonding back into form and Addison has been tearing it up. Darnold is better than a journeyman, and KOC is scheming up the talent in a very effective way.

The Vikes are being overlooked because of the Lions, but they are a very solid team and a tough playoff out, for sure.

Thank you, ProstheticRGK. You know who to thank? Thank Ayn Rand. That’s where I first heard it. I wouldn’t assume anything political about me from that, but I copped it from her usage. I’m glad I’ve been using it correctly (I just looked it up, and that is exactly my intent in usage—consider me lucky).

From Merriam-Webster: As one 20th-century usage writer commented, “Qua is sometimes thought affected or pretentious, but it does convey meaning economically.” Qua’s meaning is quite specific—it can substitute for the phrase “in the capacity or character of” or the preposition as in the right context, as in “they wanted to enjoy the wine qua wine, not as a status symbol.”

And they now control their own destiny to go out and take the division.
