Football 2022: Time Makes Fools of Us All
- Thread starter Issun
- Start date
NBA/WNBA/MLS/NHL all ran successful bubbles. Baseball has had a few hiccups, but they're largely ok because the nature of that sport is just nobody standing near anyone most of the time anyways. But Football is in this unique position in team sports where there's just way too many players on each team, and they're just completely all over each other and in each other's faces while they play and practice. There's just way too many variables and proximity to guard against. We're already seeing cancelled NFL games; NCAA is going to be a shit show in contrast, I dunno what these college presidents are thinking. I do know what they're thinking: it's $$$$$ over the lives of their students.
Money before students is the NCAA motto.
You're not wrong, but I feel like to truly capture the tenor of the NCAA's ethics, it needs to somehow emphasize a lot more cruelty and exploitation in a way that I'm not really good at since words are hard.

Hindsight is 20/20 and all but can’t say I agree with old Zimmer’s call to nicely hand the ball back to Russell Wilson with a lead of only 5 and 2 minutes left on the clock.
I am usually an advocate of going for it on fourth and short. But unless there is something wrong with the Vikings' kicker, I can't understand the reasoning for not kicking that field goal. 8 points guarantees that you won't lose in regulation. You still need a stop, but that stop can either be on the drive or on the make or break 2-pt attempt. And even if you fail both times, the game goes to overtime and you still have a chance.
Also, the refs got the call wrong on the last play. I don't think it would have mattered, but that was absolutely an incomplete pass, not a fumble.

The Vikings offense had been tearing through Seattle the whole game- I understand the decision to run the ball there. Sometimes even when you make the right decision, the other team just beats you on the play.
Also it's not like FGs are automatic either, as we should be well aware of from a certain other Seattle/Minnesota game from a few years back.

Oh we would have definitely missed that field goal.
I think Drew Brees might be cooked.
Usually you have one quarterback that should have retired after the previous season. This year we've got 3. What a bounty.
There's a reason why Jameis signed there over anywhere else
Meybe so, but Arizona is also pretty darned good too. I'm thinking Kyler Murray might have made a good decision to stick with football.
NFC West is a friggin' slaughterhouse. It's not fair to be a team in that division when there's the NFC East out there.
Hes not really metcalf, but doug baldwin was criminally underrated. I really don’t understand why he was looked as lower quality because the numbers love him. Actually one of the beat receivers in the league for a few years

That is bonkers and now I desperately want to watch this game to see how on earth that works. If it's not showing on antenna tomorrow I might do a nfl sunday ticket trial or whatever.
