    It’s like he doesn’t even really trip, he just gets his center of gravity too far forward and his feet can’t keep up

    This happened to me once in football practice when they tried me out as a Z-back. I took the handoff in a sweep and when I tried to turn the corner I just sort of lost my balance. Running with a football at full speed with pads is weird sometimes.

    That being said, this man is a professional football player, so how this happened to him is beyond me.

    Yeah, I've actually done that before, but it's because I'm in terrible shape, never run very fast, and I'm not a goddamn professional athlete!

    Yes and no. He’s a professional quarterback, which means he’s been coddled and groomed since junior high to do a very specific job that does not usually involve running 80 years downfield on a broken play

    I mean in the game which was a complete clusterfuck it was god damn hilarious. Made even funnier that the Eagles won at the last moments, so his run was basically how the game went for the Giants, so close to winning and then falling flat on their face.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    I've already decided that the most hateful outcome of this season is Dave Gettleman being allowed to run the next draft and Joe Judge being fired for Jason Garrett, whose offense is the worst facet of this team

    Oh my god, I wasn’t watching but I just saw this on Twitter. Truly this is the first highlight that can start to be mentioned in the same breath as the butt fumble


    Whaaaaaaat

    This fucking division!

    Did the Giants get a TD in this drive???

    You can see his upper body start to try and run faster right before he trips.

    I'm gonna chalk that up to (frankly unwarranted) panic that he thought he was about to get tackled and not being used to sprinting 80+ yards in pads while carrying the ball.

    I mean yeah it's hilarious but this is the Giants. Of course it's hilarious.

    It wasn’t a broken play, it was literally the best version of the play you could possibly imagine. The play call was literally too good for Daniel Jones to physically handle.

    That's how the zone read looked for a couple years until college teams figured out how to defend it (mostly). Though its origins were as a broken play at a D2 school in West Virginia.

    Point - Daniel Jones is not a running specialist so he's not necessarily expected to not make a mistake like that

    Counter Point - neither are defensive linemen, and we've definitely seem some crazy fat man TDs.

    Counter Counter Point - fat man ain't gotta worry about being knocked down by tiny safety so he can keep his head up cuz he ain't gotta keep it on a swivel, which is a habit you probably don't want to train out of your QB.

    So

    Daniel Jones actually hit a higher top speed on that run than Lamar Jackson has ever hit in his career, btw

    Have to admit, Danny's got wheels. Three of them, so he's not very well-balanced.

    The sad part is, his run was the longest run of any NY Giant QB ever. Man that's woo some history of really mobile qbs too...

    Man, his run was exactly how I ran the mile in high school for the President's Fitness BS. Stumbling to the end and crashing on my way to the finish line.

    I'm sorry if us mocking him hurt your feeling in anyway Gyral, its more about him being a Giant than a human.

    No but seriously, DJ’s run there was up there with guys like Hill and Mostert in terms of top-end speed. I think that was one of the 10-fastest runs in the NFL this season, and only like 6 dudes are responsible for those speeds. If he ever learns to not fumble but still can’t stop throwing interceptions, he might make a good random fast dude.

    I will bet anyone on this board $100 that the dolphins will not lose on Sunday.

    Edit, remember, they have a New qb. Easy money

    Only if you'll take my wager for $200 that the Dolphins won't score more than 3 points doing so.

    Did the Titans and Chiefs just suck the life out of the Bills?

    I can understand feeling exposed, but no team should be down two scores to the Jets.

    Also, the score in @Santa Claustrophobia 's Bumblefuck Bowl is making me feel all sorts of naughty.

    So yes, I’m quite aware of the penchant for teams to be named football team in proper football, I’m in fact an avid fan of La Liga and the English Premier League. That naming convention however is very incongruous in American football and as such is worthy or mockery. That and the team deserves it for all the years of being a slur. That said also, despite watching my Cowboys further devolve into pathetic irrelevancy it did produce this gem on my phone:

    That's hilarious . A football team played a bunch of cowboys and ran up the score.
