FMQB: Minshew, the Enigma

Quick Hits:

  • The Rams and Cowboys were sure brought down to earth in a heartbeat.
  • In Lions vs. Chiefs, there were 5 straight possessions that ended with a fumble. 2 of those were back to back possessions by the Lions where they fumbled within the 3 yard line.
  • I know they seemed to have made nice, but I have a feeling that Adam Theilen and Kirk Cousins don’t get along…From the sounds of it, Diggs is unhappy too
  • Tampa Bay and Cleveland are essentially a play away from being 3-1, Detroit basically 2 plays away from being undefeated.
  • The Browns tried a play in which the 4th player to touch the ball threw a pass, 5 technically if you count the Center.
  • Only 3 home teams won this week
  • The Bills hung with the Patriots
  • The Lions hung with the Chiefs, and if it wasn’t for fumbles they would have won by a minimum of 2 and possibly 10 points.

 

 

Stat of the Week:

Frank Gore became only the 4th player to rush for 15,000 yards

 

Stat of the Week #2:

Kyle Allen is 3rd in the league in Passer Rating, has thrown for the same or more TD’s than Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, Kirk Cousins, and Josh Allen despite starting half the games. Kyle Allen was also undrafted

 

Stat of the Week #3:

Even after an “off” week, Patrick Mahomes is still on pace for 6000 yards and 40 TD’s.

 

Stat of the Week #4:

Larry Fitzgerald is only 223 receptions behind Jerry Rice. At 36, it’s doable to catch him if he has 3 solid seasons in him yet. Yards are a bigger issue though, and he’s back 6,316. Makes you appreciate Rice even more. Jason Witten is the next closest active player in yards, and he’s over 10,000 away!

 

Stat of the Week #5

The Bills gave Tom Brady a fit on defense, making him go 18 of 39 for 150 yards in Buffalo. A rating of 32.2

 

Stat of the Week #6:

Buccaneers scored the most points in franchise history, most points ever against a team that was 3-0 or better, and tied the most points scored against a team that was in the Super Bowl the year before. Sure you can blame Goff, he had 3 INT’s and a Fumble with the chance to win. But he threw for a career high 517 yards and the defense gave up 55 points. Goff also tied the NFL record for most completions in a game with 45.

 

Stat of the Week #7:

Leonard Fournette had 225 yards rushing. You don’t see a lot of 200+ yard games anymore

 

Stat of the Week #8:

There are 4 first year head coaches in the league, and they are a combined 0-15-1

 

For the Record:

  • If you lose a game to a team who’s backup QB comes into the game on the 1st drive and outplays your $84M QB. AND if you have a receiver who is excited about the potential of joining the Bills, you might be in trouble
  • Thursday Night Football has produced two excellent games in back to back weeks. In fact, the lineup for Thursdays is looking more promising than Monday Night’s Bears vs. Redskins or Bengals vs. Steelers.
  • Burfict was suspended the entire season for his hit on Sunday (well deserved in my book). Burfict has been fined $469K and given up $3.7M in game checks in 6 years.
  • I think we’re crowing Gardner Minshew too early, but he had a play where he dropped the ball, got hit (and dang near broke his ankle) but still completed a pass for a first down. He also had a play where he made 3 lineman whiff on tackling him and scored.
  • That being said, the fact that Gardner Minshew is turning into this enigma of a being is absolutely hilarious to me. If he has any sort of success in the NFL, this is what the new Chuck Norris-like comparisons are going to be. There are literally legends about his life coming out already!
  • The Browns are leading the AFC North for the first time since October of 2014. If you would have asked me the last time they led the division, it would have been a hell of a lot longer ago than 2014!
  • QB Depth is the key to this season. These players are keeping their teams relevant when in the past you used to say “Maybe next year.” Bridgewater has won 2 games, Kyle Allen 2, Gardner Minshew 2, Jacoby Brissett 1, Chase Daniel and Mason Rudolph has kept their teams a game out of 1st place in their division. This year has been brutal among QB injuries, earlier in the year than a few other years.

 

 

Quarter pole:

Hard to believe the season is already 25% over. Some teams have distanced themselves from the rest of the field, while other divisions are wide open for the taking.

 

AFC: Patriots have a 2 game lead, Chiefs have a 3 game lead, AFC South is tied across the board, and the Browns are winning the division after starting 1-2.

 

NFC: The 49ers lead the division while the Rams are in 3rd. NFC North is the most competitive division in football. Wild card race will be most competitive in the NFC, with no mediocre teams creeping in at 9-7 or anything.

 

Updated Playoff Predictions:

  1. Patriots
  2. Chiefs
  3. Texans
  4. Ravens
  5. Browns
  6. Bills

 

  1. Cowboys
  2. Rams
  3. Saints
  4. Bears
  5. Packers
  6. 49ers/Seahawks/Lions

 

If the Playoffs Were to Start Today:

Browns, Bills and Raiders are the last 3 in the AFC. The Rams are out and the 49ers have the #1 seed in the NFC. Denver would have the #1 pick in the draft.

 

College Note:

I don’t follow or talk much about College football, but it will be incredibly interesting to see what happens with this Fair Pay to Play act that California is signing into law. It essentially makes it illegal for the NCAA to tell athletes that they can’t collect endorsement money, or potentially other money. Does this trickle to other states, does it completely upend NCAA rules, or does every top ranked athlete now choose a California school so they can make money as they work.

FMQB: It’s Brock-Tober!

 

 

Week 6 Highlights:

  • There were 3 awesome games this week, but I called the highlight being Bears vs. Dolphins. Tannehill was surprisingly out of the lineup at the last minute, so ol’ trusty came in and Brock Osweiler delivered a win. It’s Brock-tober baby!
  • The Rams struggled, but Gurley’s 200 yards were a thing of beuty. All the comparisons to Marshall Faulk and 2001 have me excited!!!
  • Mason Crosby, wow. Short term memory (and forgiving coaches) are the key to kickers. After the debacle against the Lions he really redeemed himself. 4/4 on Field Goals and 3/3 on Extra Points.
  • Chiefs Patriots was the game we all wanted to see. A back and forth shootout. It was awesome how the Pats kicked a FG to go up by 7 with 3:15 left in the game, giving Mahomes plenty of time to drive down the field. By 3:03, the game was tied
  • 49ers Packers also exceeded expectations. The final drive by Rodgers was insane, especially with no timeouts.

 

Stat of the Week #1:

The Ravens sacked Mariotta 11 times! This meant that Mariotta was sacked more than he had completed passes (10)

 

Stolen Stat of the Week #2:

Despite being 1-3 in his last 4 starts, Matt Ryan has put up ratings of 148.1, 134.5, 99.1 and 125.5 in those games with 12 TD’s and 0 INTs.

 

Stat of the Week #3:

Comparing the first 6 games of 2017 vs the first 6 games of 2018. James Connor has more scrimmage yards and 3 more TD’s than LeVeon Bell had last year.

 

Stat of the Week #4:

Tom Brady now has 200 career regular season wins, which is a record.

 

Stat of the Week #5:

Aaron Rodgers became the first QB with back to back 400 Passing Yard games with 0 INT’s.

 

Stat of the Week #6:

Peterman has 9 INT’s in 79 attempts. Brees’ last 9 INT’s took him 736 attempts

 

Stat of the Week #7:

Ravens have not given up a TD in the 2nd half all season. Last time there was a streak this long was 1934

 

Stat of the Week #8:

Adam Theilen is on pace to break the receptions record by 11!

 

Stat of the Week #9:

Patriots didn’t punt nor get a penalty called on them. First time in NFL history that has happened

 

Quick Hits:

  • 49ers Marquise Goodwin isn’t Tyreek Hill, but he’s dang close. Crazy speed!
  • How did the Chiefs get 2 Sunday Night games in a row? Not that I’m complaining, but it was on the original schedule, not even flexed in.
  • For everyone questioning (or rooting for) the Patriots slow start, they are now in 1st in their division, would have a first round playoff bye, and have beaten the best team in the AFC.
  • For all the injuries the 49ers have faced, I hope they stick with Kyle Shanahan. He has done an excellent job with CJ Beathard

 

For the Record:

  • I didn’t know there was a game in London until 2 days after it happened. Maybe not as much of a selling point anymore?
  • I rarely turn off NFL games, but I did last night, at halftime
  • Byron Leftwich is the new offensive coordinator for Arizona. So yeah, things aren’t turning around this year
  • Jags fall from grace has been swift, and nobody seems to be talking about them anymore. In fact there was optimism about the Texans, Titans, and Jaguars this year, and at 3-3 it’s likely only 1 will make the playoffs.

 

The Number 27:

Our local radio station has determined that the number 27 is cursed for the Minnesota Vikings. The last play before moving into US Bank Stadium, Blair Walsh missed a 27 yard field goal against the Seahawks to lose in the playoffs thus starting the curse of 27. Last season, Dalvin Cook tore his ACL on the 27 yard line on the west end of US Bank Stadium. On Sunday, CB Mike Hughes tore his ACL on the 27 yard line on the west end of US Bank Stadium. Their first and shocking loss of the season, they lost to the Bills when they scored 27 points. And one of Kirk Cousins 2 fumbles happened, you guessed it, on the 27 yard line on the west end of US Bank Stadium. Probably the most famous Viking to wear number 27? Fred Smoot. And we all know what happened there…

 

Quote of the Week:

“Is his name really Beat Hard?” FFMQB…yep…

 

Quote of the Week #2:

Josh Rosen on being drafted 10th: “There were nine mistakes ahead of me.”

 

Quote of the Week #3:

“Sun’s out, let’s go!!!” Vikings fan. There’s a little bit of a backstory to this. It SNOWED here on Sunday, ugh. And yours truly had awesome tickets to the Vikings game. Not wanting to deal with parking or traffic, I decided to ride my bike, which was fun but cold. But there are some benefits to being a short 15 minute bike ride to the stadium!

Games of the Week:

Patriots at Bears: I think this could be a much closer game than people are thinking

Texans at Jaguars: Not that it’ll be pretty, but it’ll be important

Saints at Ravens: Should be really competitive

Bengals at Chiefs: Another tough matchup for Kansas City, and the Bengals need to keep winning in their uber tough division

FMQB:

Week 3 was the weekend of surprises. I’m not sure if it was a bigger surprise that the Bills won, or that the Vikings lost. The Patriots laid an egg against the 0-2 Lions, and now they’re 1-2. The Jaguars, who had just slain the mighty beast the week before only put up 2 FG’s. Drew Brees, at 39 years old, also had 2 rushing TD’s including a 7 yard run where he juked 2 defenders!

 

 

Quick Hits:

  • Is Marcus Mariota not the starter anymore? I missed something, and he came in after Gabbert got injured
  • Carson Wentz to Dallas Goedert for the TD, means it was North Dakota to South Dakota. Cool!
  • I went from skeptic to genuinely excited for the Monday night game just to see Patrick Mahomes play
  • Adrian Peterson looked like the 2012 version of himself on Sunday
  • Jimmy Garropolo going out for the 49ers is heartbreaking, even from a fan who sees the 49ers as the biggest threat in the division
  • Week of the rookie QB’s! Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen shined, while Darnold and Rosen did not
  • I’m shocked Matt Patricia got the best of his old boss

 

Bar Observations:

I went to a bar in the #BoldNorth to watch the Vikings vs. Rams game. While living in Minneapolis helps me hear about the Vikings more than any other team, I had a few interesting observations:

  • Vikings fans were cheering just as loud for the successful extra point as they were TD’s
  • Kirk Cousins is apparently the greatest thing that’s happened in this town since Kevin Garnett
  • Minnesota Nice Quote of the night “HOLDING, HOW IS THAT HOLDING???” <tv shows replay> “Eh, that was actually a pretty good call.” Vikings fan

 

Stolen Stat

The Raiders have not trailed in any part of the first 3 quarters of any game, but are 0-3.

 

Stolen Stat of the Week #2:

In 2016 only 1 QB threw for 5 TD passes, in 2017 2 QB’s did it. So far through 3.0625 weeks, 3 QB’s have done it in 2018.

 

Stat of the Week #3:

Jared Goff is the 3rd QB in NFL history to have a perfect passer rating while throwing for over 30 attempts

 

Stat of the Week #4:

Proof the game is changing: Goff and Cousins both had at least 400 yds, 3 TD’s, and 0 INTs. Prior to 2018 this had only happened once in the same game, but this is the 2nd time this has happened this season.

 

Stolen Stat of the Week #5:

Ryan Tannehill is 9-1 in his last 10 starts

 

Stat of the Week #6:

Patrick Mahomes 13 TD passes through 3 games is an NFL record. Keep in mind he has 4 career starts in the NFL too

 

For the Record:

  • The Vikings didn’t miss a FG on Sunday
  • The Bills upsetting the Vikings was the biggest upset since 1995
  • Stiff arm in the Steelers Bucs game was just brutal, in a good way
  • Fitz-magic turned into Fitz-tragic in the 2nd quarter. 3 picks, ouch!
  • Pulling Sam Bradford from the game with 4 minutes left was a bit of a head scratcher to me. I realize he fumbled but that’s not the time to make the switch.

 

Mo Money Mo Problems:

Pricetag of Thursday night’s Vikings vs. Rams roster? $448,269,294 in guaranteed money (over several years). To put this into perspective, the Golden State Warriors alone have $313M in guaranteed money.

 

Coulda Woulda Shoulda:

Adrian Peterson will go down as one of the best RB’s in history, despite being 5843 yards shy of Emmit Smith’s rushing record. This is one of those records we’ll never see beat, and he very well could have surpassed that mark. In 2014 he had the child abuse suspension, 2016 he was on injured reserve early in the season, and 2017 was a bit of a joke with him bouncing around between teams. His last full season he ran for 1485 at age 30 mind you. I realize that’s a killer season, but if you figure he can pull that off in his 3 off-years, that puts him at 16,428 coming into this year! Or only 1927 shy of Smith’s record. At his current pace, you’d think he could have knocked that out in two seasons.

 

Rant of the Year: Penalty on the NFL for Roughing the Fans:

Ok, here is my one rant for the year…I don’t know what it is, but I’ve never been more upset with a rule than what the new roughing the passer has become (and it hasn’t even affected my team yet). After what happened last week, the refs were at it again. Before people debate me, I realize this is how the rule is written, so my problem is more with the rule and the league rather than the refs. I also realize that this was my argument supporting the catch rule for the 7ish years that was in place. SO in reality, my argument is that the rule needs to change, and not that these were bad calls. But here’s my problem:

 

  1. Clay Matthews is 100% right, the game has become WAY too soft.
  2. There’s zero consistency in the calls. In the Redskins game, one play had Aaron Rodgers get completely swung around and body slammed WWE style. There was intent there, but no flag. Next series Clay Matthews does what’s considered a form tackle, with Smith holding the ball still, and he gets a flag
  3. This problem is 100% self inflicted, just like the catch rule was and just like the Anthem controversy is (I did it, I said the “A” word). Just makes you more and more wary of how the NFL as an organization as a whole is run.
  4. Big Ben also realized a nuance to the rule; you can now flop and get a flag. That’s all we need in football now!
  5. Dolphins William Hayes tore his ACL trying to avoid putting his body weight on the Derek Carr. Carr even later came out and said “I wish he would have just landed on me.”

 

I also can’t stand how the NFL keeps supporting this. The NBA will flat out admit when they have mistakes and blown calls. And for some reason, the psychology behind it is to say “ah, oh well that happens to the best of us. We’re all human” rather than to continue blaming the refs. There was even a slim chance for hope when they announced Wednesday that they were going to review the rule and that they were “concerned with the amount of flags thrown,” but then they came out AGAIN and said this is the rule and this is the “point of emphasis.”

 

If they continue to call this a foul, you’re completely limiting the point of even pressuring the QB. If going for a clean sack has the inherent risk of a 15 yard penalty, why not put 11 cornerbacks out there and go for an INT everytime?

 

I can see the side of protecting the QB however. You don’t want star players getting hurt like Brady in 2008, or Wentz last year or Jimmy Garrapolo. It basically ruins that team’s season, so I understand that. But still, 34 Flags through the first 3 weeks, vs 16 flags at this same point last year shows this is an issue.

 

Quote of the Week:

Two or three years ago, it probably doesn’t get flagged” Terry McAulay, who has refed 6 Championship games and 3 Super Bowls

 

Throwback Quote of the Week#2:

After the Bears had a 4th quarter comeback against the Cardinals, you couldn’t help but replay “The Bears are who we thought they were, and we let ‘em off the hook!” in your mind.

 

My Meme of the Week:

Just look at the beak on Josh Rosen! Almost as big as the Cardinal on his helmet.

Scavenger Hunt:

Alright play with me guys. I’m going to end the week by sending you on a little scavenger hunt that should get you laughing. This will probably work better on a computer than a phone, but here’s how it’ll go: I want you to click on the first link. Get the video playing with the volume up, and then as that’s playing, open the 2nd link in a new tab and focus on that picture as you’re listening to the video. You’ll never look at this guy the same again! and you’re welcome!

FMQB: Whoah-Oh FitzMagic!

FMQB: Whoah-Oh FitzMagic!

Whoah-oh Fitz Magic!

If you had Ryan Fitzpatrick slated as the early MVP frontrunner, and beating the Super Bowl champions and a popular Super Bowl pick in the Saints on the road, then prove it. His season is truly magical so far. I agree with DeSean Jackson, how can you take him out and give Jameis Winston his job back?

 

Believe-land:

The range of emotions this team had in a 4 day stretch was pretty crazy. On Sunday, they had 2 missed FG’s and 2 missed extra points. The last extra pt. one was rough, which came right after an exciting 4th and 5 play late in the 4th quarter. It wouldn’t have mattered, as the Saints went up by 3, but they miraculously got back into Field Goal range. Watching Gonzalez march out onto the field for the 52 yarder with his head hanging, you just knew he was going to miss. He basically lost the game for them for the 2nd straight week. Keep in mind, the Browns, the LOWLY Browns, have gone toe to toe with the Saints (pun intended) and the Steelers. Two top-tier teams. They could easily be 3-0.

 

Ah, but Thursday night! The Browns finally won! It’s been 635 days since they’ve tasted victory. They struggled against the Jets and then Tyrod Taylor goes down, Browns fans must have been thinking “not again.” But the curse is broken and the Bud Light fridge unlocked! Congrats Cleveland.

 

The Most Exciting Tie you could see!

Pro-tip, if you’re looking for an exciting game to watch this year, turn on the Packers. They’ve been in two doozys, and the battle for the NFC North was another great one on Sunday. Full disclosure, the refs did not play favorites in this one and both sides have a right to be upset. Even on Rodger’s bum knee, the Packers were up 20-7 in the 4th quarter, partially thanks to a couple bad penalties especially one roughing the passer (although this one was close). But wow, Kirk Cousins turned it on in the 4th quarter. He actually looked fantastic this game, but they scored 21 points in the quarter and a 2 pt conversion to tie it up. The controversy came on the final drive, when he heaved one up as he was getting hit by Clay Matthews. INT, end of game, but hold on a flag for roughing the passer. There is literally a picture from the perfect angle that shows Matthews making contact and the ball is still in Cousins’ hands. He doesn’t wrap Cousin’s up, nor drive him into the ground, nor does he land with all of his weight on Kirk. You can also see Clay put his left hand down and try to brace his fall. This flag was absolutely terrible, but ended up making for an exciting game. The icing of Crosby after making a kick and having him miss, and then the Vikings kicker missing 2 OT FG’s yielded the tie. I will scream this one more time from the highest mountant, the 10 minute OT rule change is garbage! After the Vikings missed their FG, the Packers were driving and punted away with 3:57 left. You’re essentially limiting the number of drives to 3 if you’re lucky. Should have kept it at 15 minutes or at least switch to college football OT rules. I foreshadowed more ties last week, I just didn’t expect it to come the next week. I wouldn’t doubt this is talked about in the offseason, especially if there’s a 3rd tie.

 

Stat of the Week #1:

Ryan Fitzpatrick, a backup QB, is leading the league in TD’s, Yards, and passer rating

 

Stat of the Week #2:

Saquon Barkley had 14 receptions on Sunday, setting a team record. That’s more than Devante Adams, Stefon Diggs, AJ Green, Amari Cooper and Larry Fitzgerald have all season.

 

Stat of the Week #3:

Patrick Mahomes, first player with 10 TD passes in first 2 games. Keep in mind Sunday was his 3rd career start. Even the year that Peyton threw 55 TD’s, he only had 9 TD’s after Week 2.

 

Stat of the Week #4:

Ryan Fitzpatrick has 4 TD’s of over 35 yards, no other QB has more than 1.

 

Stolen Stat of the Week #5:

Oakland defense in first 2 games:

2 sacks

1 forced fumbles

0 fumbles recovered

1 interception

0 touchdowns

 

Khalil Mack in first 2 games:

2 sacks

2 forced fumbles

1 fumble recovered

1 interception

1 touchdown

 

Surprising Stat of the Week #6:

The Dolphins, Bengals, Buccaneers, Rams and Jaguars are in sole possession of 1st place in their division. Tell that to 2016 fans and they’d never believe you!

 

Stat of the Week #7:

In the Patriots Jaguars game, one QB threw the ball 45 times for 376 yards and 4 TD’s; and it wasn’t Tom Brady…

 

Stat of the Week #8:

Baker Mayfield’s first drive ended in points, and in his 1 half of play he threw for 201 yards and a QBR of 94.9 (out of 100).

 

Stat of the Week #9:

This is the first time since the new OT rules were introduced in 1972 that there were tie games in Week 1 and Week 2.

 

For the Record:

  • We’re 2 weeks in, and I wholeheartedly repeal my questioning of Andy Reid’s decision to trade Alex Smith and let Patrick Mahomes lead the team. I was dead wrong and I admit it. Mahomes looks like a star in the making.
  • The NFL eliminated their Catch Rule controversy just to replace it with Roughing the Passer. The Vikings game calls were abhorrent, and the fact the NFL agreed with the refs is an even bigger problem.
  • The Bengals are surprising, after two bum years they may have rebounded and be on their way to winning the division.
  • The Texans on the other hand are not living up to expectations, with everybody healthy
  • The Rise of the Rams is almost as abrupt as the fall of the Seahawks. They went from Super Bowl contender, to .500 team, to garbage in just 17 games
  • The Broncos comeback and final drive was pretty slick. John Gruden’s reaction to them making the kick was 100% Chucky too.

 

 

Divisional Deep Thinking:

Ties are weird, but the cool thing about the Vikings and Packers is that they now cannot tie the season series. They’ll go into their final game knowing that whoever wins will have the tiebreaker.

 

 

What it takes to Excel:

Blame me for being a homer, but this video of Rams coach Sean McVay is absolutely insane. A reporter gives him a situation such as “2015, Redskins vs Saints, 2nd and 12 on the 16 yard line with 4:24 left in the 3rd quarter.” And Sean will literally interrupt him and tell him the formation, the route, or what happened on the play.

Quote of the Week:

“Did you see the game?” Mike Zimmer

 

Quote of the Week #3:

“Hey, when’s the next article come out?” Reader

“Friday…hence the name” FMQB (sorry bro, I had to!)

 

Stolen Quote of the Week #4:

“The Bills are so bad, their players are retiring at halftime.” Still utterly astounded that Vontae Davis went into the locker room, put on his street clothes and just left. Never heard of anything remotely close to that. Completely disrespectful to the team, I don’t care what he says. If anything, tell the trainers you’re not feeling right or even sick and sit out the 2nd half.

Week 17

Photo credit: NFL.com

 

We’re to playoff time! The season is always fun, but the final 11 games always ramp up the pressure and drama. But first, a few Week 17 notes.

 

Week 17

The Jets controlled their destiny and missed out on the playoffs, losing to nemesis Buffalo with only revenge to play for. Feel bad for Ryan Fitzpatrick, who sort of revitalized his career this year and played solid football, but has never seen the playoffs.

 

Still shocked that the Patriots laid an egg against the Dolphins, and gave up the #1 seed. It’s a good thing that Brady has a BYE, because he looked severely hobbled after the game.
