NFL OFF-SEASON THREAD 2022-23: FanDuel getting everybody hemmed up. ESPN went Kamikaze. We in that dead zone of the year y’all.

[Nouss]

I don't see an issue with it. Dude literally died and they brought him back. That definitely merits a patch IMO.

Yeah y’all overthinking it. The patch is definitely warranted and is in good spirits. Millions witnessed a kid literally die for a minute or so.

 

[s0lefunk]

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I’m not going to judge how a team chooses to honor a teammate that almost died on the field right before their very eyes.

 

[WASHED KING]

As long as Buffalo pays him the rest of his contract, regardless if he plays again.

I think they will. No way they won't.

Love the patch idea. The patch is to show him support. Thankfully he’s alive to see it.

 

[finessence]

Great news for that kid!

If it happened on any level of football lower than the NFL he for sure ain making it.

Told my moms this the other day.

 

[finessence]

I think they will. No way they won't.

I think he’ll also have some type of position with team as well in some sort of capacity. Literally risked his life. He’ll get the red carpet treatment for the rest of his life.

I'm sure his return will be slow and nothing spectacular, but should help in various formations/2 TE possibilities.

Once the Niners pull away from Arizona, Kirk probably gets pulled. Not expecting much from Irv. He was bad when he was playing before he got hurt. An additional "weapon" doesn't hurt though. Mostly just concerned what O'Neill's loss means.

 

[rolaholic]

Rough week for Buffalo damn , encouraging news though

[WASHED KING]

Well then.

 

[CP1708]

So the NFL has now turned this into a positive light attention drawing event, for each and every game this weekend......

And the Bengals and their fans seem to feel slighted at the chance to improve their standing in the coming weeks?



Edit, and Ravens bettors, I guess?

 

[jpzx]

Yeah if Bengals had lost to the Bills, this weekend's Ravens-Bengals game would've decided the AFC North champion. Ravens got screwed too.

 

[getback]

Quick action from the medical professionals probably saved his life. Incredible.

Definitely. Dude I used to work with went into cardiac arrest and collapsed playing volleyball at the beach and there just happened to be a doctor nearby who performed CPR immediately. 100% saved his life.

 

[storm2006]

Damn. Zac Taylor is fed UP.

 

[elpablo21]

Man's just got the tube out of his throat and everyone is losing it in the comments and social media about the playoffs

Weird feeling ngl

 

[s0lefunk]

I’m lost. Why did the NFL propose this whole neutral site thing if rules were already in place in the event of game cancellations? What would the seeding look like if the existing rules Mixon tweeted were applied?

I just don’t understand how the Bills-Bengals cancellation, regardless of circumstance, required a whole new set of rules based on ‘what if’ scenarios. I’m guessing a contender would be locked in or out of the #1 seed or home field advantage at some point regardless of Week 18 outcomes. Tough luck but “rules are rules.”

 

[DeadsetAce]

yeah they overcomplicated things like crazy

 

[jpzx]

Even the NBA had a play-in tournament once they resumed the 2019-20 season, inviting teams that had a chance (even though the Suns went undefeated or close and didn’t make it lol).

This is been made more complicated by home fields, where teams are advantaged or not.

 

[rolaholic]

Gonna be one of the games of the weekend

You already know Motor City Dan's gonna have those boys fired the hell up with a chance at the postseason on the line

That boy made of vibranium.

 

[WASHED KING]

Man's just got the tube out of his throat and everyone is losing it in the comments and social media about the playoffs

Weird feeling ngl

You shocked? I’m not.

They were just waiting to see if he would live or not
