sports NFL 2021-2022 Post Covid (but it’s still covid) Edition

[Seight]

I put the Thursday Night game in Pick'em because otherwise I absolutely will forget to log back on in enough time before kickoff tonight as a treat.

[Distortedreasoning]

we will probably get a freebie out of tonights tnf since ginguy isnt giving us much time. but for the record, i would have also picked them boys. 

 

 

[NFLPickem]

You are correct

Thursdays game will be a mulligan. Seight, I am sorry but think of it this way, if the Cowboys lose you don't.

The rest of the Sunday and Monday games will continue as normal.

 

Here are the updated scores

Seight - 116

Distortedreasoning - 114

Masterdebater - 112

Starpanda - 111

Ginguy - 109

Panic - 106

Molarbear - 105

Vicodine - 105

SheemaGorath - 104

Pooh - 96

 

Enjoy

 

Also, be aware that I will probably be late on the scoring this coming week. Picks will be up by Wednesday however, so Week 14 will be a full week.

I picked the saints for fun on the game tonight and I see Ginguy got b& probably for posting some dumb shit.

he must have upset someone too much.

anyways, todays game sucked for me in fantasy. fucking zeke 13 touches for 45 yards gtfo! the saints are like the bucs before brady. a solid team all around missing a qb. give them a good qb and watch them be superbowl contenders. i wouldnt be surprised if they made hard moves for qb in free agency. the boys got their best team in years but they arent top tier in the conference.

I still had Amari benched from his bout of Covid, may have lucked out since he only got 8 of his projected 14 pts

Nah. They're like 70 mil over the cap and don't have many players they can outright cut to save money. They gotta draft one.

I think he tried Katt one too many times she warned him. On paper the saints shouldn’t be sucking so hard but they are.

I wanna know why A Brown was suspended indefinitely for lying about his vaccines status while Rodgers was only fined 35k?  I know the team was fined 300k for protecting him but the Packers’ season should be forfeit.
 Ok, so one had a fake vaccine card and one didn’t but at the end of the day the results are the same.  Fuck Aaron Rodgers this is a terrible look for the NFL.

I was wondering that myself

At first I thought maybe it was because AB has been in previous trouble, but then I read they suspended 2 other players too

The only thing I can think of is Rodgers possibly never gave proof that he was vaccinated and just beat around the bush when asked

That or the NFL is playing favorites like usual.... it's probably playing favorites

They’re playing favorites in the Rodgers case the entire team covered for him and his lies. The fact that he never had a fraudulent card shouldn’t matter. Were  the other two players also suspended indefinitely?  Were any of them white?

 I just think it’s not looking great. They might need to revisit the Rodgers debacle and take further action

They were all suspended 3 games

I don't know, I had never heard of the other two players. One is on the practice squad and the other was a Safety I think

There definitely does seem to be some bias in this decision though

Definitely some bias. Htf is an entire team lying for Rodgers any less fucked than showing a fake card?  The NFL needs to get their shit together

agreed, not a good look. but rodgers had enough foresight to technically not lie, even tho he did. a.b on the other hand, is crazy and didn't think it through as much. thats pretty much it. i dont think a.b should be out as long either but the nfl gotta keep up the image of taking covid seriously.

Eliminate suspensions for players if you're not going to touch QB's because you're afraid of losing money and make any player caught lying about being vaccinated donate their entire season's pay to a charity or healthcare workers

but dude he straight up lied when he said he was “immunized” and the Packers’ staff knew that.   Idt the NFL looks like it’s taking it seriously if they hand out different punishments for doing essentially the same thing. I think they just didn’t wanna fuck over Greenbay 

[panic]

The NFL had considered Rodgers unvaccinated, so clearly they knew his situation. The Packers weren't hiding anything from the NFL. Rodgers was fined essentially for misleading the media by saying he was immunized. The NFL did it to save face because they clearly do not give a shit about enforcing wearing masks 20 feet away from reporters at a press conference.

[molarbear]

Bring back the interviews where the reporters held the microphone out on giant sticks

Those were the best

I’m so mad at the officiating in this game. They hate the Jets and every call goes against them. It’s a joke. 
 

PI call that didn’t happen 

A neutral zone call that was actually a false start

and a 4th down conversion attempt that was called as a fail but then reversed in Eagles favor 

really fucked up 

Edited December 5, 2021 by 1pooh4u

[1pooh4u]

Worst officiating ever 

[1pooh4u]

Horrible defense aside someone paid these officials to make sure the Jets kept their no win record against the Eagles 

[Kudasai]

The Lions actually won?

[Master-Debater131]

Thats the most Vikings thing ever.

 

 

[Seight]

I very, VERY rarely feel sorry for the NFL, but they now have to sell America on a Thursday Night game between the teams that tied and lost to the Lions, respectfully.

When Detroit won I shouted “yay Kudasai!” And then I had some explaining to do with my other half but it just slipped out 😆

[Sawdamizer]

The Pats needed that win, probably the biggest game of the season for them.

hell ya.

Playoffs here we come 😎

Scores are updated to include both weeks

Picks are up

 

Lions won't Brown themselves. They might Jaguar themselves though.

Vikings were trying their best to be the Falcons tonight

This fucking sucks in so many ways.  He was one of my favorite players. I have his Jersey in my closet. Everyone who knows him has said he was just a great person as well. So many stories about how good of a person he is are flooding out there right now.

 

This sucks.

[Master-Debater131]

Fun stat being passed around out here today

 

In the past month the Avs have outscored the Broncos.

 

Life is pain

 

GO AVS!

[panic]

 Texans don't even qualify as a team anymore.

[molarbear]

BEARS STILL SUCK!

Packer's special teams looked like they signed a bunch of middle school kids off the street right before the game though

[Distortedreasoning]

bad week of football this week. so many non competitive games. and many of the closer games only got close at the last minutes. no upsets this week either. 

 

raiders had the worst game. while im still glad we got rid of gruden, there are certain qualities he brought that cant be replaced that we are lacking. im not saying that we win all the games, but we certainly dont come out looking like ass or else he gets in your face. but yeah this team needs replacements at all levels.
