2019 NFL Regular Season Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

I think it was both of us making the case they should have looked hard at Foles this off-season. Trubisky is not the answer.

And the Bears get to carry the stain of selecting him over Mahomes. Which is going to look to be one of the most laughable decisions.

Yep, we did.

I still just do not understand how Trubisky received a first round grade. Outside of being athletic and accurate, he played in a gimmicky offense, had poor footwork, a weak arm, and was inconsistent at decision-making. If you drafted him you were banking on his accuracy being the product of actual talent and not limited starting experience in an easy offense.

Mahomes had a cannon and was very athletic, Watson was an outstanding prospect that checked a lot of boxes from the analytics community, and there were a ton of great non-QB prospects in that draft. Just a dumb draft choice.

Mystery to me how the scouts and everyone missed so bad on Mahomes. I mean, sometimes you get it with a Brees, Wilson, and even a Brady. They don't blow you out of the water with the traits that scouts fall in love with. But Mahomes had all of them, and Trubiksy had none of them.

Biggest mystery to me.
 
I dont know I'd take the ball in OT...why defend? they score a TD game over right?

I mean, the dude was a first round pick. It's not like he fell to the sixth like Brady.
 
Tomlin pulling a Hue Jackson lol

Never pull a Hue Jackson

If you go back and read scouting reports before the draft they all said the same thing: he has incredible arm strength, is incredibly mobile and athletic, is great at reading the field, and has good footwork in the pocket. They also all said the same weakness: he played at Texas Tech.

This was a situation where teams looked for a reason to not trust Mahomes' college production. It was a big mistake.

He's betting on his defense and his kicker against a 3rd string QB. It's not a bad gamble in this specific situation
 
Also how the hell does that ball not bounce out of bounds?
