2021 NFL Season

[Thomas Veil]

I just realized. Last year at this time, because of games being postponed by the pandemic, we had Monday Night Football, Tuesday Night Football, Wednesday Night Football and Thursday Night Football.

Good times...

Wow. This could certainly hurt the Cardinals chances this season.

Cards' Watt likely done for season, sources say

Star defensive end J.J. Watt, in his first year with the first-place Cardinals, injured his shoulder in the second quarter Sunday vs. Houston and is now likely headed for season-ending surgery, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.

Watt is always injured.

 

[Thomas Veil]

Is it just me or do there seem to be more injuries than usual this year?

Crazy finish to the Arizona/Green Bay game! AJ Green runs a route in the end zone but inexplicably never looks back to see the ball is thrown to him, so the defender easily intercepts it.

I thought my Packers were gonna lose up until that point lol

And the last unbeaten team goes down…

Pittsburgh and Kansas City at the bottom of their divisions…

This is turning into quite an interesting season.

Every season is interesting.

I expected it from Pittsburgh; I am quite surprised about KC.

Last year I wouldn’t have expected Pittsburgh to be in such sad shape. Roethlisberger’s athletic skills didn’t decline slowly—it’s more like someone flipped a switch and bam, he was done.

They were. Best case for them was OT. I watched it live and couldn't believe what I saw.

He has taken a LOT of hits over the years. Has to take a toll. Plus he's old. Not Brady old, but still old for the NFL.

7 minutes in, we lost our QB. The usual backup QB is still out due to concussion protocol. In steps a guy whose name I’d never heard. And thanks to Turnover Tom, the Saints still managed to beat Tampa Bay. A very satisfying game.

We were traveling back from the M-I-L's house and stopped for dinner and this game was on in the bar. The wife had been keeping me up on scores as we drove, but I didn't know that Bridgewater had been injured. So when I saw Siemian I had to look it up. I didn't realize he was with NO. Last I knew he was sucking for the Bronco's until he lost his job to Drew Lock.

But apparently he played well enough to get them the win. And while I like Hill, he isn't a full-time NFL starting QB. He is great for confusing the defense and some gadget plays, but that is about it.

I was playing fantasy football this season.

My starting QB was Russell Wilson.. oops.
Backup QB was Jameis Winston... oops.
Both QBs got hurt early in a game, leading to losses both weeks.

Tight End was George Kittle... oops.

Now, my starting RB... you guessed it: Derrick Henry.... oops.

I will consider my fantasy football dues this year to be a donation to the winner.

Winston. Bridgewater left the Saints two years ago.

I guess you’re finished now, eh?

I have just as much chance as the Detroit Lions do of making the playoffs now... even though my record’s substantially better.

I have become disenchanted with the extreme stodginess of the NFL and generally prefer college because weird shut happens in college games. But, yesterday I happened to watch the local team beat up on a sad excuse for a team, and there was a funny play I have never seen before. The other team managed to avoid getting blanked in the very late minutes of the 4th, so, as you might expect, they lined up for and onside kick, because when you are down 17 with under 2 to go, you have to pretend that you are not dead yet.

Of course the kicker just barely got the ball off the tee, and one of our guys scooped it up and carried it in. I mean, that has really got to hurt.

Yes, major brainfart there.

But sad news for your team, Winston has a torn ACL.

Edit: And MCL. I know players can rehab in 9 months from one, but from both, I just don't know. Best prepare not to have him back for '22.
