2021 NFL Week 8 - Around The League

And now an unbelievably bad play where they again can't get a play off and take a five yard penalty on the one yard line. If they don't get this touchdown it is an absolute disaster for Green Bay. Overturning the touchdown was bizarre to start with anyway.

 

And now they don't give the ball to the guy has gashed the Cardinals all game and call an idiotic pass play. If Arizona goes down and scores to win the game, it's all on Rodgers for his ridiculous casualness in getting to the line three different times.

 

Ha, still a game. Sort of. No. Cards gonna lose 24-21 unless there's some kind of miracle.

 

Holy Crap, Cards on the 50.

 

High snap, ugh.

 

Wow, the Packers are getting screwed here - bogus overturn of their touchdown, bogus first down for the Cardinals when Murray was clearly short.

 

Holy crap - Packers intercept it in the end zone to win the game!

 

Barf. INT. Should've just tried to punch it in.

 

I can't stand Aaron Rodgers, but whatcha gonna do. Kyler Murray messed up his knee.

 

Rodgers is an insufferable diva, but he is one of the best quarterbacks to ever the play the game, and also one of the most fun to watch. On the field, I definitely root for him.

 

I love this team blah blah blah all while he tried to shoot his way out of town.

 

That last play for Arizona was truly Jet-like after the march down the field.

 

Loved the add for next weeks game.

Next Thursday Indianapolis, lead by Carson Wentz, T.Y Hilton, and Darious Leonard, take on some guys on the Jets.

 

AJ Green figured they were running the ball with 15 seconds and no timeouts from the 8 so he setup to run block. Ouch.

 

Myles Garrett with 10.5 sacks already. The Browns should be much better than they are, given the talent they have all over that team. They really have to start thinking about whether Mayfield is the guy who can lead them to the promised land - he's not bad by any means, but is he good enough?

 

Darnold with 45 yards rushing, but so far continues to be uninspiring as a passer (passer rating of 72.9 at this point).

 

Now they're running zone reads with Darnold near the end zone, and he gets totally blown up. P.J. Walker in to try to put it in the end zone.

I have to believe that Carolina is going to look for a new QB after the season - Darnold being Justin Fields or Trey Lance is not a workable long-term plan.

 

Fields with a ridiculous 22 yard run for a TD to tie it up. He has 103 yards rushing today.

Edit: he doesn't tie it up, as Santos misses the extra point! Santos and Koo were two of the three regular kickers who hadn't missed an XP this season, and both have done so today.

 

Calvin Ridley, Atlanta Falcons WR, is "stepping away" from football for mental health reasons.

 

Big win for Pittsburgh over Cleveland, as Baker, Landry, and OBJ all come up small in big spots at the end.
