NFL Week 8 thread -- Song of the South

The Jets under Aaron Rodgers have been like watching the world's funniest, most predictable car crash.

 

He'll feel it more than normal in the morning.
The team offensive #s for that game are bizarre.

 

Didn’t Goff have 28 yards passing and they had 35 points? Wild stuff.

 

It helps that the Ravens seem very vulnerable in the secondary, but yeah, it does seem that Watson has been holding them back.

 

Looks like it worked just fine, but if it had been the Steelers, I probably would have posted something similar.

 

Also, the Ravens dropping half a dozen combined interceptions and catches helped.

 

Short field most of the day.
A wild stat to me, IIRC, is Detroit has four more offensive TDs this season than it does incomplete passes.

 

Sometimes even great kickers have a bad year, though Tucker is 35. Boswell has had a couple of stinkers, at least relative to the rest of his career. In both of those seasons, he was playing through some minor injury. Maybe Tucker is doing something similar.

 

That will do it, too, but they did come into the game dead last in total passing yards giving up. Only the Cardinals have given up more than their 8.1 yards per attempt. I imagine today didn't help either of those numbers. Also, they were without Marlon Humphries.

That isn't to take anything away from what Winston did, but the Ravens have some serious issues in the secondary.

 

Brady just said he played the Broncos 33 times.

It was 14.

 

Clearly the NY media's fault

 

not his fault as part of the restrictions of his ownership stake in the raiders he is forbidden to use prior life experience the week leading up to the game
