NFL 2019-2020 has begun

Two Steelers concussed, only one drew a flag.

Garrett needs to be suspended for the remainder of the season. Inexcusable.

What happen was Myles Garrett started Mason Rudolph on his fantasy team. That’s what made him so angry. What he didn’t know was Mason had the Browns defense on his fantasy team.

All kidding aside, I guess the Lyle Aldazo rule comes into play?

■■■■ Cleveland after this. I hope they’re always in the basement.

So should Randall. Caused the Steeler to be bleeding from the ear on a very late, targeted hit that was easily avoidable.

I guess we’ll see if the NFL has any balls now. I like the line from the ESPN article: “Myles Garrett committed the closest thing we’ve seen to an on-field crime in the modern era of pro football.”

Most media outlets are speculating that Garrett is facing a six game suspension minimum. If it’s true it would be the longest in league history.

6 to 8 games at least would be appropriate. That was a very vicious hit and premeditated.

Definitely one of the worst things I’ve seen in pro football.

Garrett suspended indefinitely. Should be interesting.

I think it should be a full season, 16 games. And that should NOT count any playoff games that Cleveland might have this season. 16 regular season games plus any playoff games this season.

Good. Let’s hope the NFL doesnt botch this.

Will be interesting to see how the player’s union deals with this.

The union can only deal with it one way, defend Garrett.

Didn’t want to keep off-topic posting in the other thread. You have a pretty good defense, too. So if kicker is your only concern, you’re doing better than many teams.

Pretty big concern, man. He’s lost us no less than three games. When you can’t even be sure of an extra point, it isn’t good.

I didn’t realize it was that bad. Kickers are weird. Sometimes a new setting is all they need. They guy we have now (Josh Lambo) was run out of San Diego for being terrible. He’s been money for us. I guess I should hope today’s contest comes down to the kickers.

Funny because San Diego (now LA)'s kicker is Michael Badgley whom we had in camp a year ago and he was great but he was released because of our management’s blind loyalty to Vinatieri.

Well that went about as I expected. Foles just isn’t any good. With the wobbly, wounded duck passes, throws being batted away at the line, interceptions returned for scores and complete offensive futility, looks like we got Bortles 2.0 on our hands. And I especially enjoyed the tip of the cap to Chad Henne, with the numerous check downs.

Our D is better than most give them credit for even with injuries. I wouldn’t pin it all on Foles.

Pin the loss on Foles? No, there’s plenty of blame to go around, most notably the run defense giving up almost 300 yards for the third time this year.

But just watching Foles, I don’t like anything about him. His throwing motion is crap, his passes are wobbly and lack zip, he can’t throw a deep ball, he doesn’t seem to have a good grasp of the playbook.

The Jags front office is now just tripling down on stupid. The first bunch of stupid was giving Bortles an extension. The second bunch was throwing tons of money at a career backup to replace Bortles. Now they bench a possible franchise QB to put the career backup back in. The proper perspective with Foles returning from injury is that the team isn’t going anywhere anyway, so let’s use the final seven games to continue to develop Minshew. But doing the right thing isn’t what this front office is all about. The owner needs to completely clean house in the offseason.
