OT: Super Wild Card Weekend

[Rutgers Chris]

SJD with the tipped pass on the opening drive leading to an interception and 7-0 lead for the Chargers

 

[AntiG]

And on the Niners side - Kroft, Turay, Dwumfour advance to the next round with that *** kicking.

 

[mdk02]

Problem. This might be over early and no Knicks or Rangers.

BTW, I didn't know that Brad Pitt played QB for the Chargers.

 

[ashokan]

A KC vs 49er SB would be interesting
Pacheco was 251st pick of regular draft
49er QB Brock Purdy was dead last at 262 when supplemental picks are included

If the 1983 NFL Draft is best known for his high caliber of QBs drafted in the first round (Marino, Elway, Kelly, etc...), then on the other spectrum has to be the 2021 Draft class of QB's, not one of them looks like they're going to be an elite QB and their FIVE of them taken in the first 15 picks.

 

[RULoyal]

4th pick for Lawrence and 1st half is not over.

 

[RULoyal]

Jaguars

It’s still early yet to write them all off yet. But not looking good. Lawrence’s first playoff game I believe he will get better, remember Eli’s. QB is such a tuff position people want immediate results. I remember listening to Francesca he said it was Parcells I believe said it takes a QB 40 games for coaches to know what they have in them. Nowadays it seems 2 seasons at best

The Chargers are making Trevor Lawrence look like Evan Simon.

 

[JayDogSmooth]

Assante getting revenge on The Elf for the 59-10 shellacking

I knew Logan Ryan was toast on Giants when Herbert threw a TD on him 65yds in the air.
The guy has a tremendous arm and knows the game
In fact Gentleman wanted to draft him but Herbert decided to stay at Oregon.

Compared to 80s a lot of free agency moves guys around
High contracts and injuries ravage rosters.
Only a few of the best coaches do well with QBs
Guys like Lawrence come off the super talented teams in college and dont always payoff out of the box
OL can barely block the super-juiced DL and many flop (Flowers, Hernandez and others)
No more FBs, and RBs struggle blocking
Put Herbert on Daboll Giants and Jones on Jags and see...

49ers use a FB and it works. In a copycat league I expect more teams to try. KC uses it occssionally

 

[Rutgers Chris]

Lawrence looks like a new man in the second half

 

[koleszar]

Jaguars

Jaguars now

Man, I thought this game was over. Just kept it on and was not really paying attention. I am now.

 

[mdk02]

Lawrence looks like a new man in the second half

Funny how that happens when the pass pro improves.

 

[Rutgers Chris]

Funny how that happens when the pass pro improves.

The qb play in the AFC is overall just ridiculous

 

[RutgersNo1]

30-28 with 4min to go

 

[LotusAggressor_rivals]

Tale of 2 halves for Lawrence. On another note, how bad an NFL coach was Urban Meyer? He won like one game with most of these same players.

 

[koleszar]

Wow what a great game.

 

[RU85inFla]

Unreal game. Trevor was lost in the first half

 

[RUDead]

These announcers sound like they are asleep.

 

[Jackson206:)]

Staley will be off to Thailand real soon.

There's at least two of them. Trey Lance was looking like he had the potential to be one before he got his ankle broken in week 2. And Lawrence just showed it today.

 

[Rutgers Chris]

Staley will be off to Thailand real soon.

Sean Payton with Justin Herbert will be an interesting combo

 

[LotusAggressor_rivals]

Sean Payton with Justin Herbert will be an interesting combo

That's the job Payton should want. Herbert is a generational talent with even average coaching. If he gets a coach like Payton, who actually knows what he's doing, he'll be a legend.

 

[ashokan]

FWIW Francesa said a few weeks ago that Lawrence is on verge of becoming the super star people expected.
Have to mention Geno Smith
Dude was awesome passer at WV (he was in Heisman talk)
Then he got drafted by Rex "NoOffense" Ryan and the Jets 10 years ago
Now he looks like WV passer again

 

[T2Kplus20]

Staley will be off to Thailand real soon.

Chargers need to hire Sean Payton tonight.

 

[Colbert17!]

Staley will be off to Thailand real soon.

I'll look for him at the airport.

 

[Colbert17!]

What an absolute big balls call going for two at 30-26.

 

[drewbagel423]

These announcers sound like they are asleep.

Al and Tony were ******* terrible tonight.

 

[The RUT]

My San Diego group chat called this at half time

My one buddy just texts “collapse imminent” lol

“You can take the Chargers out of San Diego, but you can’t take the San Diego out of the Chargers”

Good breakdown of the 4th down run here;

Then in 1984, I believe there were no QBs picked in the 1st round

 

[Colbert17!]

That is correct. First QB picked was 2nd round , # 38 overall, the Cincinnati Bengals select from the University of Maryland,....Boomer Esiason.
Next QB was in the 3rd round, Jeff Hostetler

 

[read option]

What an absolute big balls call going for two at 30-26.

Had all the momentum and after the penalty and the try was from the 1, not 2. QB sneak with your 6’6” QB was smart.

 

[read option]

Anyone else have the Jags ML? I was on the verge of turning it off but then once it was 27-7 at H I figured I’d see if Jax could get it to 27-14. Was locked in from there obviously.

Yes $5 . Plus 320 I made in game. .
Didn’t expect to hit

All correct but still went against the book. I loved it!!
