The NFL Thread 2: 1. T Swift

After reading the thread I’m not sure that’s the argument he’s making, but I also don’t think he even knows what argument he’s making. It seems to just be complete cockamamie. The best part is where he says there must still be a lot of uncertainty at 27-0 with 1:45 in Q2.

I remember when Wes Welker got like 5 concussions in a week before meaningful concussion protocols were a thing, and the Broncos trotted him out the next Sunday with an over-sized helmet on.

Even when he was a Patriot I can recall thinking, “this is a guy to watch down the road, he’s probably going to have major CTE issues”

This is the real helmet he wore:

If you’re fashion conscious and want your uni to have a consistent look, the oversized helmet is almost required sometimes.

My cousin had a lot of concussions playing high school football in the early 2000s. I remember him having one of those double helmets which looked really bizarre at the time. He clocked a 4.5 40 at a few camps and was getting D2/D3 looks but then it was over and he ended up having a lot of substance abuse problems.

How is Wes these days?

he’s a NFL coach now, currently the WR coach of Miami

Proof positive that the NFL loves and rewards refball. Blakeman and Cheffers are two of the worst. Always taking over drives, wildly inconsistent, ticky tack fouls sometimes, ignore egregious shit the next.

Cheffers will absolutely gift a team an entire drive sometimes. Illegal hands to the face that didn’t even touch the helmet, DPI calls way less egregious than 50 plays that weren’t flagged over the weekend. And it’s always a drive that keeps the game close.

Chiefs fans are convinced Cheffers was picked to give Buffalo the win.

Cheffers crew lead the league in penalties in 2021 and 2022. Blakeman 5th both years.

That would be good for KC, so they must be excited.

Yeah that requires 2 priors:

  1. Chiefs are more likely to win against Bengals AND NFL wants Chiefs to lose (???)
  2. NFL wants Bills to win more than Bengals

I don’t think either are necessarily true and 2 makes absolutely no sense to me. Buffalo is as small market as it comes (CIN isn’t much better but still…)

Chiefs planet is definitely the platonic ideal of a homer forum. Always assume everyone is out to get you and everything anyone does is always bad for you.

There must be a Philly equivalent that is worse.

The Chiefsplanet guys are always posting super paranoid “league is out to get us” takes from the Bills forum.

It’s radio here. WIP.

Homers gonna homer

Always love a good ‘the league is against us’ by sportsfans, especially of super successful teams

Has any player ever looked their age more than Brady tonight?

Gonna guarantee the comeback. Tv off. Now going to stream the Westwood One radio feed (most announcing crews are outstanding. Going to fall asleep. Will wake up to pee at 2:30 and see all the alerts.

Hey it got the Jags the win Saturday night.

Maybe he’d get more carries if he could stay healthy for more than a few games in a row

Figured Shawn Hochuli would suck most given that he got the job through nepotism
