NFL Week 4 -- Won't You Be My Nabers?

I continue to think the kickoff should be changed to a punt from the 40. But the punt would be like a fourth and ten play. If the punting team wants to send their quarterback and run a play from scrimmage they will need to advance the ball 10 yards to maintain possession or lose the ball. If the receiving team wants to try to block the punt, fine, and they can try to return it for a touchdown.

 

Success rate of that would be much higher than onside kicks.

I'm not sure I like the idea of an already gassed defense maybe having to play three consecutive series at the end of a game with no break just because Patrick Mahomes completed a couple of "onsides" 4th-and 10s.

And a punt from the 40 has a great chance of pinning the opposition deep in its own side of the field.

Too much reward for a trailing team in desperation mode, IMO.

 

Agreed. Make it fourth-and-25 from their own 30 and maybe it has some merit.

 

Looking at his contract details, I think Miami needs Tua to retire or play him for a few more years.

 

Excellent point re: defense being penalized by rule. The union — if it any say in such matters— should weigh in on this very point.

 

Brian Callahan said the Titans will stick with Will Levis at quarterback if he is healthy enough to play.

 

19 for 19?

Never seen where a team completed every pass.

 

Supposedly, Adams has played his last game in Vegas. I’m dialing Vegas as fast as I can if I’m the Chiefs or the Jets.

 

The previous record for most completions by a player without an incompletion or interception was 10, by Kurt Warner, who left the game with an injury after going 10-for-10. Not surprisingly, the Cards did not finish the game with a 100% completion rate.

I went searching for whether a team has ever gone through a game with a perfect completion percentage but Google keeps showing me stuff about individuals.

 

Tennessee - Levis, Will - doubt. - slightly discolored pinky toe

 

And they got almost 300 yards. I would have thought it was all short yardage stuff to not throw an incompletion.
