But it goes back to what I was saying about how he manages games.
With the exception of WASH he only threw 1 td per game, everything else for the past 5 games were FG's, defense and no interceptions [[at least in 4 games).
He doesn't have the arm strength or accuracy to get the job done against a team who is playing as well as the Eagles. shrugs Life will go on.
Can't complain about a backup going 4-1, though. You'll likely make the playoffs and Rush will be a huge reason why. Not because he played great, but because he didn't play poorly. He's a poor man's Earl Morrall.
I agree. I'm not mad at 'em and I appreciate he kept things afloat. Heck, I still call him Cooper and not Howdie Doodie. HAHAHAH
BTW, I said 1 TD per game, actually he had 0 against the Rams.
I like that analogy, Jerry!! Sorry about your Boyz, Ms M:[[Quote:

When is Dak due back to play?
Sunday. I was about to say it should be an easy game against the Lions but ... Any Given Sunday! LOL
I'll probably be late, the 23rd is pastor appreciation day but I'll be in da house at some point.
OK. I'm waiting for TJ Watt to return, too. With all of our injuries I'm hoping for any good news, especially against the Dolphins.
Like you said, Ms M........Any Given Sunday!

Jerry Oz you may get a kick out of this. Grant is a youtuber that focuses mostly on 49ers games. He's not so much a niners fan he just likes watching good football. I think his dad use to cover San Francisco baseball but anyhoo...he cracks me up. Now I can admit mostly because I'm not a Kyle or Jimmy G fan but the truth is, he gives both props when they are due but otherwise...LOL
I would love to see him go national.
Eagles HC Nick Sirianni yells 'f**k you' to Cowboys sideline, then explains why
https://www.marca.com/en/nfl/dallas-...a338b4592.html
I've been a ride or die Boyz fan for very close to 60 years but it's difficult if not impossible for me to get upset over Sirianni's reaction to his win.
It's crass and the epitome of the Philadelphia [[sports) mentality but I understand EXACTLY where he's coming from 'cause if the shoe had been on the other foot... LOL
Tua's back against the Steelers and Dolphins fans are excited. I am too, but his absence is not why we lost the past two games. The NFL absolutely delivered the loss to the Jests by putting Teddy Bridgewater in concussion protocol for no reason that anyone can determine and yesterday, we had the Vikings right where we wanted before Jaylen Waddle made a very uncharacteristic boo boo that led to Minnesota scoring the winning points. Add to those things, a crap load of mistakes and voila!; a team can go from 3-0 to 3-3 in an instance. Let's see if they can be motivated to play better now that their former coach is returning to town on Sunday night.Quote:

I knew the Dolphins lost but I didn't take the time to look into that game but this statement bothers me and goes back to what I was saying about how players learn or adapt to the rules to keep themselves out of concussion protocol.
What he was clear about was how that one play, in which the spotter determined he stumbled enough to rule him out of the game, will change how he reacts each time he is knocked to the ground.
https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/...s/10485158002/
Again, haven't seen the particular play that placed Bridgewater in concussion protocol and apparently he made the above comment after the fact but still, it's a little concerning.
So I guess my question would be, is it wrong for the NFL to step into the role of protecting the QB [[or any player) against himself or his own judgement?
The players association demanded it to save face. The Dolphins followed the protocol and by all accounts, Tua didn't have a concussion in the Bills game or in the following three days. After making a stink about it, the NFLPA saved face by demanding players to be pulled if they exhibited symptoms of possible neurological trauma and not put back in the game. Teddy didn't stumble, stagger, or display any indication that he was hurt - neurologically or otherwise. But the spotter pulled him off and he lost the last 59:40 of the Jests game and by being in the protocol with no injury, he was unable to practice the following week. As you can imagine, lots of Fin fans are p*ssed off and believing that having an unknown spotter [who allegedly has lived in NYC for 24 years] being able to influence the game was a way to send the Dolphins a lesson for precipitating the whole controversy. Especially since they called intentional grounding on the same play. I saw the same play made by at least three quarterbacks yesterday and not one was considered to be intentional grounding. It is what it is, I guess. If we have to play 11-on-18, we just have to come out on top.

Check out this tweet and tell me if it looks like he suffered from a "gross motor event":
https://twitter.com/7SportsXtra/stat...8sQKmY-HQbnnjg
Interesting. His head hit the turf but I honestly can't say he seemed disoriented in anyway.
Now this statement seems highly suspect; an unknown spotter [who allegedly has lived in NYC for 24 years]
It's all a definite head scratcher for sure.
But back to Tua, he definitely stumbled and seemed out of it for a sec, no doubt about that although afterward he seemed ok but his was a situation where I think better safe than sorry should have applied.
I'm going to try and watch tonight's game without falling asleep so I'll be back.:)
I'm watching the first quarter. I have Austin Ekeler and Justin Herbert playing and I need 3 points to win. Should have it by the 5 minute point of the first quarter unless the bottom drops out.
Which it has in years past.
Fell asleep and just woke up to see your post. I'm guessing you're still watching. :eek:
I won my game halfway through the first quarter but stuck it out. That game was a much of a dog as the recent Thursday night games. You didn't miss anything by falling asleep. The NFL is putting a bad product on the field in a whole lot of games this season.
Remember when they were saying the AFC West was the scariest division because of Mahomes, Herbert, Wilson and Carr? Only Mahomes is worthy of the respect right now.
I watched Tomlin's press conference today. I am guessing that he will proceed with Kenny Pickett. Some guys that did not play Sunday will return to the lineup. I do think Watt will return after our break.
I agree, Jerry; only Mahomes.
Dolphins Nation is rumbling over Tomlin's statement that Pickett will be a full participant in practice. Miami coach Mike McDaniel was all but called a whip-cracking sadist for how Tua's situation was handled a couple of weeks ago, even though he followed protocol to a "T". According to concussion protocol, Pickett shouldn't be in practice for at least four days and he'd have to work his way back into being cleared. Teddy Bridgewater didn't even sustain a concussion but because he was pulled due to a spotter's questioning his health, he couldn't practice until Friday and by then, it was too late to install the game plan.
I'm not saying all of this to knock Tomlin or the Steelers' concussion handling, but I'm just shocked that the NFLPA isn't as concerned for the health of Pickett as they pretended to be for Tua. All of this uproar probably cost the Dolphins two games and in the end, nobody really cares about it at all.
Per the concussion protocol, players can be reevaluated on Thursday and they have to undergo the following steps to be cleared:
1. Symptom limited activity
2. Aerobic exercise
3. Football-specific exercise
4. Club-based non-contact training
5. Full football activity/clearance
If Pickett is hurt again on Sunday night, I strongly doubt the NFLPA will raise the stink they raised three weeks ago. Sorry for the rant. :mad:
I see no rant here, Jerry.
Simply put: You're right!:cool:
There is too much inconsistency but guys keep in mind it was the visual seen around the world that many, if not most people reacted to. Right, wrong or indifferent visuals are a powerful thing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4sPRoxeT2A
Truer words were never spoken. A picture is worth a thousand words. Of course, I'm rooting for the Fins on Sunday night, but I pray for Pickett's well-being.
I do, too. Not a good choice for Sunday, IMHO.
And you know I want the Steelers to win;)
Steelers vs Dolphins'.hmmmm
I think it's going to be a fun game to watch but I'll be staying neutral on this one for obvious reasons. ;)
I can’t remember the last time I agreed with JJ but...
OCT 18 JERRY VS. KRAFT & GOODELL? - NFL owners on Tuesday agreed almost unanimously on most things, but - according to ESPN - billionaire bosses Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft got involved in a heated exchange over the a new compensation package for commissioner Roger Goodell.
According to the story, the Dallas Cowboys owner at one point told the New England Patriots' boss, "Don't f--- with me!"
Replied Kraft, "Excuse me?"
"Don't mess with me," Jones repeated.
Meeting in New York, the owners voted 31-1 in favor of Goodell's deal, with Jones apparently the lone dissenter.
The New York Times reported last year that Goodell's total compensation over 2020-21 was nearly $128 million
https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/news/...ting-31-1-vote
In other news during the NFL Owners meeting...
While there are multiple teams that want Snyder out as owner, Irsay{Colts owner} was the first one to publicly come out and say it.
"I assume we're going to get into more and more discussion on that," said Irsay when asked if Snyder has been a topic of conversation at these meeting. "You know, it's a difficult situation. I believe that there's merit to remove him as owner of the {Commanders}. I think it's something that we have to review, we have to look at all the evidence and be thorough in going forward, but I think it's something that has to be given serious consideration."
He added: "As we determine the evidence and move forward, we'll have to determine what the situation is. ... I think once owners talk among each other, they'll arrive to the right decision. Unfortunately, I believe that's the road we probably need to go down and we just need to finish the investigation. It's gravely concerning to me the things that have occurred over there in the last 20 years."

I agree with JJ, but let's face it.......Goodell mde those owners a LOT of $$$$
As far as Snyder I don't think he'll go anywhere.
Thoughts?
Stay neutral Ms M? :D:D:D
Good Lord. Why in heck would a man who made $128 million last year need a raise? I had to read that three times to make sure I didn't miss a decimal point somewhere. Meanwhile, stadium workers are probably lucky to earn $12/hour. This country is so backwards regarding money, power and class.

As far as Snyder, he needs to be gone IMO but will it happen? As Jerry Oz states, "This country is so backwards regarding money, power and class." So, who knows!!!
Snyder made it known that he knows where the NFL's bodies are buried. If he's ousted, he's going to put very personal and potentially illegal business on full display to the world. That's why the NFL didn't sock him over the cheerleader scandal. He also was an afterthought in the Gruden debacle, where everything that came to light happened with Dennis Allen under Snyder's watch.
Seriously, Stephen Ross is a total moron and an embarrassment to human beings let alone owners, but he shines like a saint compared to Daniel Snyder. The league's going to have a harder time getting a buyer for the Commanders since Snyder is financing the new stadium out of pocket. It's probably why he did it.
I didn't realize he was financing the new stadium out of pocket but it does seem to be a smart move to keep public sentiment on his side but...why do they need a new stadium?
The current stadium isn't THAT OLD. Heck I still remember RFK Stadium which until recently was still standing but now being demolished.
If I recall correctly, people were surprised to learn the stadium is only going to hold a fraction of the capacity of their current stadium.
I found the following story and it does appear he's hiding behind the stadium to make it harder to get rid of him. What a slimebag.

Report: Snyder’s Status With NFL May Hinge on Stadium Deal
Daniela Perez - Thursday
Public outcry has halted a new Commanders’ venue and some reportedly have plans that could halt it altogether to oust Snyder.
One NFL owner claims some owners would forgive Commanders’ head Dan Snyder and the team’s financial struggles and troubling misconduct allegations if he built a new stadium, ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr., Seth Wickersham and Tisha Thompson reported Thursday.
It’s the latest revelation in ESPN’s report centered on the “dirt” Snyder has accumulated on team owners and league officials during his tenure as the Commanders’ owner. Washington’s financial issues have been the focus of many—including a congressional committee—but some NFL owners appear to be more annoyed by the team’s monetary struggles than by the sexual harassment and workplace misconduct allegations levied against the franchise, ESPN reported.
The same owner told the network Snyder is aware that owners may forgive him if a new stadium comes to fruition. However, public outcry has halted the building of a new Commanders venue, and according to the report, some league executives are considering plans that could halt a stadium build altogether in an attempt to oust Snyder.
“Some owners aren’t liked in their cities because their team is losing,” the owner told ESPN. “That goes with the territory. Snyder isn’t liked because of what he has done to that franchise, with all its history. The stadium is falling apart. The team is underperforming. He can’t get a new stadium. There’s no way out. … He may have passed the point of no return.”
Snyder was close to securing a new stadium in March after Virginia’s legislature passed a stadium bill for a $3 billion complex that included an amphitheater, shops, apartments and a practice facility, all of which would surround a 55,000-seat Commanders stadium. It was sent to a conference committee for lawmakers to work out issues in the bill and then meant to be sent to the governor, who reportedly supported it.
However, several former Washington employees detailed their experiences with sexual harassment and workplace misconduct in a hybrid roundtable hosted by the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform, causing many state residents to vehemently oppose the building of a new stadium.
“Using taxpayer funding to pay for anything having to do with this stadium is morally reprehensible,” one Virginian said via email, per ESPN.
A supervisor in Prince William County, where Washington was looking to build, sent a survey out to residents in June regarding the stadium. It found that 85% of 850 residents did not want the stadium to be built, ESPN reported.
The bill was abandoned in June. Many owners told ESPN they were stunned Snyder’s bill was squandered despite its support from lawmakers.
Washington currently plays at FedExField, which opened in 1997 with a capacity of more than 80,000. During Snyder’s 23 years as owner, capacity and attendance have dwindled dramatically. In September, the team reduced its capacity from almost 68,000 to between 62,000 to 63,000, per The Washington Times. From 2005 to ’10, the stadium’s capacity was reportedly more than 90,000.
The last time the Commanders had the highest attendance in the league was in 2008, when they drew 708,835 fans during the team’s home games. Last season the Commanders held the second-lowest mark in the NFL. They averaged just 52,751 fans per home game for a total of 422,009.
FedExField has faced recent scrutiny after a railing collapsed and multiple fans fell onto the field after the Commanders’ 20–16 loss to Philadelphia in January. Several fans denied Washington’s claims that they were offered “onsite medical evaluation” following the railing collapse, and now four of those who fell are suing the franchise.
Despite the stadium’s issues and a clear consensus that a new one is needed, some have plans to stop Snyder from building one. According to ESPN, a few owners and executives have talked about potentially refusing to give Snyder the $200 million loan given to teams building a new stadium, an attempt to try and get the Washington owner to sell the team or to transfer the team permanently over to his wife, Tanya.
“The league’s only real tool is to starve him from the funds to build a stadium,” a team president told ESPN.
The NFL is investigating new allegations stemming from the House Committee’s probe into workplace misconduct in the Commanders franchise. The league initially conducted an investigation after former employees cited sexual harassment in 2020. Attorney Beth Wilkinson and her firm investigated, and Snyder was levied $10 million fine as a result, but the probe’s findings were never released to the public.
Tanya assumed the team’s day-to-day operations in July 2021. The league’s initial probe catalyzed the House Committee to launch its own investigation into the organization, consistently pressing commissioner Roger Goodell to release the Wilkinson investigation findings. The House Committee’s findings caused the NFL to open a new probe led by U.S. attorney and former Securities and Exchange Commission chair Mary Jo White in February.
The House Committee and NFL’s investigations are still ongoing.
Just did some digging on Fed Ex Field and I admit it's been YEARS since I've been there. Apparently the place is falling apart so, NEVER MIND. HAHAHAHA
Interesting read Jerry. He's a slime ball but he's not stupid {although has done stupid and reprehensible things} clears throat...allegedly.
