2022 NFL Thread

I dont think watching more football (that's what Red Zone is, right? Just showing you all the red zone possessions of every game) is going to make me like something I dont like.

The thing that made me like the sport was connection to the team and quality time w/ friends/family who were really into the sport (also playing money league fantasy football). I dont have the connection to the Jameis Winston Saints and I dont have a friend group where I live that we are all into the same team (like I had living in MS where everyone liked the same team).
I guess. A fan of sports and great athletes I feel could appreciate the spectacle of the modern day gladiator arena the is an NFL field. Where the best athletes of all shapes and sizes work together to conquer the other team. Seeing what those guys can do is just so amazing to me, and the entertainment value is unmatched.

But yea, Red Zone just zips you around to all of the action. I smoke a bowl at 10:50am mtn time and It’s sports nirvana for the next 8 hours, every Sunday. But if it’s not your thing, it’s not your thing.

Your description of Red Zone is close but doesn't quite do it justice. Its more than that and its awesome. Try it. Then knock it.
 
Tonight’s game ****ing sucks though.
No doubt. BTW I had the number 1 pick in my fantasy draft and took Jonathan Taylor. Then way late in the draft I took his backup Hines. So taylor was out which already sucked but I thought at least I have his backup. First 3 plays all feature Hines and im feeling pretty good. Boom concussion on the 3rd play of the game. So now one of my starting running backs got me 1 point. Oh I also have Corradelle Patterson who went on IR last week. And to top if all off, going into this week I was 1-3 despite scoring over 150 points every week (my lowest was 152). I lead the league in points against my team. Everyone has their best week when they play me.
FF sucks sometimes....

There’s always some poor team in every league with a good team but can’t get wins because everyone goes uber against them. I guess it’s your turn. Lol keep grinding!!

What kind of league do you play in, sounds like a lot of points. I’m in first place and only scored that many points once, and I’m the third highest scoring team in a 12 team league.
 
Brady really going to lose Gisele just because he had to play one more season.
And it doesn't look like the Bucs are good enough to justify his loss. Should have stayed retired (and I've been a fan since the beginning of his NFL career).

I didn’t like the trade for the Niners. And it’s not hindsight based on the loss. That’s a ton to give up for a running back let alone an oft injured one.
You're not a fan of giving up a haul for an injury-prone running back at the age where running backs typically drop off hard?
 
Really curious where Kareem Hunt lands this off-season. Dude might be a top five running back and is just semi-wasting away behind Chubb.

Running backs just aren't that valuable anymore. Jonathan taylor missed some games and the colts were better than when he was healthy. Chubb might be the best running back in the league but when kareem hunt comes in there is no noticeable difference. Seahawks were rolling with penny then he gets hurt and they play a rookie who looks like he might now be the best running back in the league. Zeke elliot is worse than his backup tony pollard (statistically anyway)
Just rarely seems to matter all that much who play RB for any given team.

Pretty funny I literally just posted about him at the same time as you.
