Random FF Thoughts

Defensive game plan notes for every team who plays the Vikings: Cousins is gonna throw the ball. That's all this offense is able to do.

Why did the Defensive coach change his game plan with 2 minutes to go in the first half? The Viking D had Mayfield on the run and Tampa's offense shut down completely, then they changed from heavy blitzing to rushing 3. Mayfield had all the time in the world in the 2nd half and ate y'all alive.

Seems the main thing to come out of week 1 is that we learned WAYYYY more about players, offenses and defenses than anything coming from pre-season. ... it's almost like the old days pre-season week 3 (when starters played in the season tune-up). Or perhaps I just didn't read the tea leaves correctly. ....

I seriously have no idea what this coaching staff is thinking, on either side of the ball.

Maybe it's all part of their Master Plan...

I wouldn't lean into the results of week 1 too heavily. Some of these offenses were really rusty from not playing much if at all in the preseason.

Dear Ryan Tannehill,

A 'jump-ball', from the perspective of the offense, is a forward pass where the Quarterback (that's you in this scenario for the time being) places the throw over the head of the offensive player, be it a Running Back, Wide Receiver, or Tight End. And especially in the case of your best Wide Receiver, it needs to be thrown over his head, and not to the defending player of the opposing team who is running underneath the route.

Sincerely,
Titans Fans

Good luck to all those who took Garrett Wilson in the late 1st/early 2nd. Pray that the Jets get somebody other than Zach Wilson

If there was ever a QB cursed team - it's the Jets. .... even though they knocked off the Bills.

The hatred for Richard Todd is unreal on these boards.

I completely blame the turf. If it was grass there would be a divot and he’d still be out there.

I can only imagine what Packer fans must be feeling. They run Rodgers out of town, then watch him go down. They see their 3rd QB in 30 years play error free against the league-worst and division rival Bears.

Packer fans should ask for world peace. They might get it since they get everything else.

I lost BATG and D1 when I went to sleep at halftime. Only to wake up this morning and see I won them both. BATG by 1.2 points after getting 6 point s for a punt return TD in OT.

remember how high on the horse the Colts fans were when they got Luck after Peyton?
it all can be, and too often is, very fleeting in the NFL, which makes the guys that dominate the league for more than a few years really special

Niners had a run of Montana, Young and Garcia. 23 years. Then the wheels fell off.
Patriots had Bledsoe and Brady for 26 years.
Packers had Favre and Rodgers for 30 years.
Not sure which is more impressive? All those title with the Patriots. The Niners getting 3 QB in a row? Or the 30 years for the Packers?
I think every franchise has suffered at some point.
Hard to fathom that the Packers have really not suffered in 3 decades.
Really ticks me off to think it may continue with Love.
