NFL Thread 2018

A rule brought in because of the injury to Rodgers last season.
Completely different rule actually. And regardless it’s a joke of a call. Cousins was actually in the air when Matthews made contact and didn’t “lift” his leg as the league is now trying to say he did. The penalty on Kendricks when he hit Rodgers in the first half was equally as bad of a joke. QBs are football players too and should be treated as such. Otherwise let them wear their red practice jerseys in the games too. NFL is ruining its own league. Getting to be the NBA where they just ignore/change the rules in order to maximize points scored and favor the prima donnas. Tired of it already.
 
Think the 49ers are a 7-9 or 8-8 team this year. Thought the same before the season began.

Not enough pass rush and there DBs aren't great in the main. Some of these are young so could improve.

On Offense Breida has had a great start so the running game doesn't look as bad as a few weeks ago when McKinnon went down. No Goodwin this week was a knock but Pettis looks a good compliment to Trent Taylor and Pierre Garcon. OL is OK but not outstanding

Got KC next week follow by the Chargers and the Cards. Probably need to be 3-2 at least to stand a chance of the play-offs. 2 games against Rams will be difficult to get anything out of and who knows what state Seattle will be at later in the season. If their injuries clear up they'll be competitive.

For me though the 49ers are good enough to get some wins this year. They have some key pieces in place to improve over the next few years - Brieda, Bruckner, Garopallo, Thomas, Taylor, Goodwin. Need an edge rusher and potentially a No1 wide receiver to be true play-off contenders though

How do kickers like this get employed ? they have literally one job and its the easiest job in the team and yet they can't even convert basic kicks that im fairly sure an amateur rugby player could convert with their eyes shut

If anyone could do it, everyone would do it.

Kicking is different animal. You can be great but if the snap is off, the hold is not right and the defence gets pressure - it’s going to skew the kick.

A lot of the times it’s nerves and a mental game but again, if anyone could do it then everyone would do it.

Yep, it has the pressure of a penalty, the distance of a free kick, and the motion of an indirect kick held by your teammate. Plus the ball is perfectly round. Weird that anyone ever misses.

*sometimes there is wind, however
