Thats a nice payout
Oh no ?
I tried to fight....I considered Raiders as well but ultimately just liked NE's chances to win a good deal more. Even post-Brady era, NE beats up on these bum teams pretty consistently. Jets/Jags/Texans last year. Lions/Browns last 2 weeks.
Definitely a nadir of the BB era to lose to the Bears at home by 3 scores to fall below .500 almost near the midway point.
Luckily for them, they play bum QB's every single week so there is some room to recover here. Z Wilson-Ehlnger-Z Wilson next 3
Tua/Trubisky/Brissett/Goff/Fields already....Even Lamar/Rodgers not exactly having great years, especially Rodgers.
The dominance of Cover 2 has caused passing yards to go down across the league
This is O/T but I think that is a little overblown. Not like 2 high safety was invented yesterday. I think it is playing a role as defenses get more analytical in their approach but I'd say the main reason scoring is down is just because QB play is down.
A lot of guys who used to post big #'s have hit a wall this year, others are hurt, others retired....The saints don't have a QB anymore, Watson is suspended, Brady/Rodgers/Wilson/Ryan all seem on fumes and have greatly declined both due to their own performance + team situation deteriorating. Lamar sucked last year. Herbert has had OL/WRs coming and going. Murray didn't have his #1 WR until Thursday.
Is the cover 2 cheat code working vs Allen, Mahomes, Hurts, Burrow? Well, not really. All are playing as well as ever.
Think we're just at a point right now where lot of QB situations aren't great.
