    That punt on 4th-and-3 was as bad a surrender as I’ve seen this season.

    Haven't watched the game yet, but how was Moore playing?

    If it was Mahomes, it's cowardly as shit. But what's the confidence Moore or an RB could have made that, given the Packers D haven't been playing like garbage most of the season so far?

    Honestly, was kinda surprised to see the score so close.

    Moore looked pretty good out there overall to be honest. To be fair, with the offensive talent on that team, and Reid being overall a good, Offensive-minded coach, a lot of QBs would look good there under center. But still, Moore was pretty damn good.

    Moore was fairly solid in Miami, so he should be extremely solid for the Chiefs. I always preferred him over Tannehill.

    I should probably just turn off the game now and pretend that was the final play of the game.

    Still wish we were starting Rosen to evaluate him but it's nice see8ng the fins play well. Then again there's still a 2nd half and we suck at that.

    Fuck right as I say that. Still say he was worth more than a first rounder Fitzpatrick.

    I had to step away for the second quarter and got back right in time to see Pittsburgh score.

    So yeah, that's about right.

    This is much better than we had a right to expect. As the Ringers week 8 preview reminded me.

    Monday Night Football
    Miami Dolphins (0-6) @ Pittsburgh Steelers (2-4)
    Kickoff time: 8:15 p.m. ET
    Channel: ESPN
    Announcers: Joe Tessitore, Booger McFarland, Lisa Salters (sideline reporter)
    Opening line: Pittsburgh -16
    Over/under: 42.5
    Key Steelers injuries and absences: Linebacker T.J. Watt (abdomen), running back Jaylen Samuels (knee), quarterback Mason Rudolph (concussion), tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder), wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (illness), cornerback Joe Haden (groin)
    Key Dolphins injuries and absences: Cornerback Xavien Howard (knee), safety Reshad Jones (chest), wide receiver Albert Wilson (hip)
    What to watch: Déjà vu

    We know what you’re thinking: This game sucks. Well, if you think this sucks, let me tell you about Dolphins-Steelers on MNF in 2007. The field was so muddy a punt got wedged into the turf.

    Pittsburgh was favored by 16 points, and the over/under for the game was 38.5. The Steelers won 3-0. Thanks to a torrential downpour, for 59 minutes and 40 seconds, the score was 0-0. Miami’s starting quarterback, John Beck, threw for 132 yards, while Miami running backs Jesse Chatman and Ricky Williams combined for 17 carries for 32 yards.


    Whatever happens on Monday, just know that this won’t even be the worst Dolphins-Steelers Monday night game in the past 12 years.

    I'm so conflicted! I want them to win, because I do, but I don't because it's best if we dont win for the draft. My gf keeps saying "I hope they win baby " and I'm like, I'm not sure I do. Glad it's close and competitive though

    That third and 20 at the end of the half was the most obvious tank job I’ve ever seen.

    Sure Tomlin’s not mad, but jeez.

    So who will trade a fifth rounder for Rosen this year?

    You're telling me cover 3 isn't 3 CBs playing zone 20 yards down field with no safety help and no LBs underneath? I'm shocked shocked I tell you.

    And seriously, who cares if we win a game. Fitzpatrick looked fine, but we know he looks fine. Do we need to evaluate a back up? We had moore who was fine. Find out if Rosen has anything in him. If nothing else find out if he's a serviceable backup. Those have value in this league. Look at Fitzpatrick

    Man all kinds of crazyness going down in the last day or so.

    Chargers fire their OC Weisenhunt - after a win!
    Xavien Howard is going on IR. He got a pick last night, which could have proved season ruining. So time to shut him down with a NonCL knee injury.

    And then this 1-2 combo, which everyone should remember the next time people talk about players needing to be "loyal" to the team.



    Bangles are benching Dalton for 4th round rookie Ryan Finely - on Daltons birthday.
    Rams Trade Aqib Talib AND a fifth-round pick to Miami for "a Future Pick"

    Not to ruin the joke (I totally am), but the lowest ratings for players ends up generally between 65-69. Out of position turns it to about 40.

    From what I read Miami essentially spent $4million on a fifth round pick.

    https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/10/30/baker-mayfield-storms-away-from-media-after-dumbest-question-you-could-ask/

    Mayfield was speaking with the media today when longtime Cleveland sports reporter Tony Grossi questioned him about a Browns drive that stalled in Sunday’s loss to the Patriots. As Grossi interjected with a question, Mayfield got short with him.

    “Stop saying but,” Mayfield told Grossi. “I just told you the clock was running and we had a penalty. You want to give them the ball back? No. You don’t play, you don’t know. That’s just plain and simple.”

    Grossi asked, “Were you happy with that drive?”

    “Was I happy with the drive? No, we didn’t score points,” Mayfield said. “That’s the dumbest question you could ask. What? Jesus, Tony.”

    With that, Mayfield stormed off Leaf'd, ending his media session.


    I mean the hype train has been derailed for weeks now, but it looks like whatever was in those tank cars is now leaking into the river and may catch fire soon.

    The clock was also not running and a false start doesn't stop it. So him acting like the reporter was being an idiot was itself kinda dumb.

    Well.... it exists in name. I think what @Preacher was alluding to was that after Barry got fired, basically everyone worth anything quit in response. I think I saw four other high profile departures, including Albert and Drew, and a handful of others.

    A communal blog site, where almost everyone worth reading has told management to kiss their ass, does it still really exist? It's an infrastructure built around the content provided. And the people providing that content, are gone.

    Now, if they're lucky, they can restaff before people notice. But I doubt it.

    yeah like people read deadspin for the writers. I know I did, drew quit this morning making it officially dead and dusted.

    Magary will be fine, he'll end up somewhere else because he's famousish, but the other writers are definitely going to struggle.
