NFL Year 2021 Superbowl LVI. Rams win! Wolford gets a ring!.

NFL kicking has become a very delightful roller coaster ride.
 
NFL Year 2021. Week 3. How many undefeated teams survive another week?

NFL kicking has become a very delightful roller coaster ride.

For real. Cardinals attempt a 68 yarder at the end of the half. It’s short and the Jags run it back for a 109 yard TD.
 
NFL kicking has become a very delightful roller coaster ride.

And right on cue. Cardinals attempt a 68 yarder before the half and the Jags run it back for a TD.

Tied for longest play in history, 109 yards.
 
Some questionable clock management by the Chargers to give Mahomes 32 seconds to get a TD.
 
Justin Tucker bounced a 66 yarder off the crossbar for the game winner. Wow.
 
Justin Tucker with a 66 yard field goal bounced off the cross bar and through for an NFL record and Baltimore Ravens win over Lions.
 
feels like a lot of the primetime games have been worth watching til the end this year
 
49ers score go ahead TD with 37 second left, as fullback drives into endzone instead of going down at 1. Roger's drives Packers 42 yards in 34 seconds. Packers kick 50 yard game winning field goal as time expires.

Two walk off game winning FGs in one night.

They were down by 6. Of course he didn't go down at the 1.
 
The Packers should have let them score at least a minute earlier. Ends up 37 seconds was enough time.

Correct. I get tired of that reflexive argument. “They scored too soon!” They had to get a TD which is not guaranteed. And anyway, even if they’d only needed a FG, as Tim Hasselbeck said afterwards on SVP, “If 37 seconds with no timeouts is not enough to set up your defense for success,” then nothing ever will be.

[h=3]Loser: Expecting a rookie QB to carry you[/h] It really felt like we were turning a corner after Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert changed their team’s fortunes in their first season. That came off 2018 and 2019 when Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray got the job done respectively. Now we’re learning in the glorious, charred remains of hubris that quarterbacks stepping into the NFL and excelling is really, really difficult.



It’s no so much about Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Justin Fields and Mac Jones struggling, as much as it’s a testament to the fact that the NFL, despite best guesses, as not been “solved.” Sure, college offenses are more advanced than ever, and rookies better prepared than at any point in modern football — but still they walked out onto the field Sunday and all got their asses spectacularly kicked.


Trying to decide who was the worst of the crew is a fool’s errand. Like eating five variants of earwax ice cream and deciding which is the most palatable. Let’s just instead combine the rooks into a cerberus of mediocrity. If all four were one player, here’s the stat line:


77-of-140 (55 percent completion), 717 yards (5.1 yards-per-attempt), 2 touchdowns, 7 interceptions — 51.2 passer rating



If you match that up to the closest modern era player you get ... Jimmy Clausen. I’m sure at least one of two of these guys will be good when the dust settles, but goodness right now these teams are not benefitting from starting a rookie who has that deer in the headlights look. It brings us to ...
 
That's a fucking touchdown.

It's a stupid rule, but it's the rule, and that ball was across the goal line. Touchdown.
 
*replay shows clear uncalled PI*

Announcer: Look at [defensive back] just slotting his left arm in there!

It’s hard to know whether the officiating or announcing is more of a joke in football these days (either college or NFL m).
