NFL Week 16 -- Football overload

The Jaguars' uniforms look like they left the pants they were supposed to wear in Jacksonville, and had to borrow some. The black helmet-white jersey-teal pants combo is very visually jarring.

With Bills-Patriots, I keep thinking the Bills are the Patriots wearing the Pat Patriot throwback jerseys.

Dolphins-49ers, on the other hand, is a very pretty game to watch on TV. An AFC-NFC and uniform match-up we don't get to see very often, and that Dolphins aqua and 49ers white and gold are a chef's kiss combo.

 

The acting was football Oscar-worthy.

 

I’m already out of the bar pool, so go Patriots!

 

Now that’s a fraudulent coach. And the coach with the most punchable face in the league.

 

I sure didn't see that coming, either.

 

Good for Bryce Young.

 

He is emphatically not it. Bad decisions, no urgency, too damn small. They’re stuck with him and they’re not going to win with him under center.

 

Maybe. He has a pedestrian RB behind him, and the big-play guy they thought they had has not made many big plays (Harrison).

 

I only see them in rare national window games and RedZone, but he absolutely seems like the type of guy just good enough to break your heart and set you back a good 5-10 years.

 

How many QBs have non-pedestrian RBs behind them? Maybe 5. Conner is probably in the top half of the league. Like it or not, the game has evolved to revolve around the quarterback. Murray is OK, but that's not good enough these days.

One thing I noticed about him on the few occasions I see him is how many soft passes he throws. Which seems odd for a MLB-level arm.

 

Conner has been far and away the best part of the Cardinals offense. Harrison has been a let-down so far.

 

Vikings/Seahawks is phenomenal.
