Personal week 4 notes.........
.......Is Baker Mayfield the MVP so far?........
.....No matter, the networks should look to put all of Tampa's games on prime time.
Week 1,
Week 2,
Week 3,
& Week 5. Each game is going down to the wire. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this. This is season's worth of nail biters in a month's time........
.......Arizona has been about the same, only they haven't been as fortunate.
Week 1 went to the final possession. They
nearly let the Panthers complete an improbable comeback. Lost on the
final drive to the Niners. Had a 14 pt 4th quarter comeback still end up a
walk off FG loss vs the Seahawks. And then let the Titans complete an improbable comeback last week. Bucs: the Thrill of Victory. Cards: the Agony of Defeat...........
.....I had a chance to pick up Emeka Egbuka in my fantasy league, but decided on Quentin Johnson (LAC). Guessing his targets would go to Evans & Godwin. Screw me............
......Why does it make me feel so uneasy thinking Buffalo is the team to beat in the AFC? I mean, that's who I predicted at the start of the season to go to the SB. And there is no strong #2 in the conference. But still............
..........And while we are here, why do so many NFL teams look like they are 2-3 yrs away from being a SB contender? There is a deep bottom right now of teams clearly looking ahead to the draft already. And even the contenders look shaky. Are we sold on the Colts & Jags yet? Can Tampa win instead of just surviving? Niners have had a ton of salary cap on the sidelines.......
......As I'm typing this,
just learned Flacco & a 5th rd pick is headed to the Bengals for a 6th rd pick. If that is all Cleveland thought of Flacco, why was he starting?......
.....The NFL is doing themselves a disservice @ the QB position by not taking over from the colleges in developing QB's. When you look @ how some "busts" (Baker, Darnold, Jones) have begun to thrive after a change in coaching, in environment & just plain old time, it seems clear to me that the NFL needs to provide an environment for QB to learn the pro way to play the position. Colleges aren't doing the job. Consider there are 120 Div I schools. Each year, you'd think it would be no problem to produce 3-7 young men capable of playing the position right away. But most years, there isn't 2. And most clubs don't have the patience to wait. Nor the guides to develop.......
....Is the Harbaugh mystique beginning to disappear?...............
....Take the over when the Cowboys visit Carolina next week..........
....I hate these overseas games. But then again, Europe can babysit the Jets one weekend...........
.....What is the +/- Vegas is giving for mentioning
last year's ending during Bears/Commanders previews?
