in ‘a performance-based decision’, I’ll be watching the Dirty South derby this week.
it’ll be fun if Desmond Ridder is good at throwing the ball to Drake London and [checks]… yeah, to Drake London.
also it appears the Falcons aren’t yet out of the race for the playoffs, given that they’re in football’s most shameful division.
apparently there are also other games happening this week, including 49ers Seahawks tomorrow night. I haven’t been paying attention for a month now, but maybe that’ll be a rare good Thursday Night game?
Brock Purdy’s a nice story isn’t he. Appreciating him as much as possible now before the inevitable contempt that I’ll feel for him in about three years time when he’s one of those Kyle Allen/Trevor Siemian types who ends up starting for a dreadful team who have chucked in the towel by about week 9.
Really nice for him but I think the main takeaway is just how good Kyle Shanahan is at putting an offence together. Reckon most quarterbacks on nfl rosters, plus a few who aren’t, could put up 8-10 win seasons with the 49ers. Quite funny that it looks like they used a number 3 overall pick on one of the ones who isn’t in that group
It’s a weird mirror of Alex Smith being replaced by Kaepernick ten(!) years ago where Kaep’s mobility gave them another element on offence down the stretch that carried them to a Superbowl. However the rest of the season goes for them the McCaffrey trade looks exceptionally shrewd.
Yeah I dunno. I think the niners defence won them that game, and wins them most games. The offence is decent but did nothing special against a pretty poor Seahawks defence.
That said, the Niners are definitely going to the super bowl.
Think that’s pretty harsh. They’ve put up 350+ yards of total offence each of the last 3 weeks with Purdy at quarterback. Their defense is obviously the better unit but its still pretty incredible given what they’re working with
Vikings are in purgatory while Kirk is quarterback. There’s no way he’s navigating a playoff run. Same as it ever was except now post-Zimmer the defence stinks as well.
