Around the NFL Week 2

Does anyone else hate their stupid tush push as much as I do? It just doesn’t feel like football. Rather fitting that a team I hate is the culprit.

I don't like the tush push either. Seems almost like it shouldn't be in pro football. More like 8th grade football or something. Love the Monday night ending last night.

It's dumb. I was hoping it would be addressed and removed from the game last year. Apparently they addressed it, but only made it illegal for the "pusher" to line up directly behind the would-be ball carrier. That player, or those players, must be at least 1 yard back at the snap.

Still dumb. It's not a football play in my opinion. A play that is indefensible doesn't belong in the game. You can't stop 600 pounds of force with a yard's worth of momentum coming at you while you're standing still. The only way it doesn't work is if the QB slips or if there's a bad snap. I honestly don't understand why all 32 teams aren't doing it...since it is legal.

Sirianni could meet the same fate as Brandon Staley for his overuse of "analytics". I definitely think they should be part of the game, but you have to account for, and have a feel for, a lot of other things that are going on during the game. He's either using analytics too much, or he's just way too cocky for his own (and his team's) good.

Either way, fuck him and the Eagles.

Ye olde "Prevent Defense". You know, the one that prevents the team on defense from winning. Valid criticism IMO.

Yes. I hate it almost as much as I hate the new kickoff rules.

Cousins shredded the Eagles on the final drive with 0 timeouts. Literally made it look easy. Good stuff.

Tush push is the worst play to be seen on an NFL field since...... well fucking nothing. It's cheap, gross and stupid like the city of Philadelphia and the lot of their fans. It should be banned.

Kickoff sucks too but I get it. Still sucks.

They kinda did what the Bears are doing with Caleb Williams right now. Drafted him #1, and didn't have a decent OL in place and just threw him out to start. It's a recipe for disaster. Now the Panthers shipped all that talent out, wasted all those draft picks, only to have the guy bench after game 2 of his second season. The guy is done for. I doubt he recovers. THe Panthers will be set back 4-5 years easily.

Some think Tepper ordered Young's benching. He is pretty loathed with Carolina fans currently. Getting dangerously close to Snyder level with fan disapproval.

I feel that you could have written this: "They kinda did what the Commanders are doing with Jaden Daniels right now. Drafted him #2, and didn't have a decent OL in place and just threw him out to start". Isn't that the way of the NFL for QB's drafted at the top of the draft?

The larger problem for Carolina is that they traded up to #1 to get a QB and then drafted the wrong one! In my mind, there are minimum height, weight, and arm strength requirements for a QB to even be considered as a draft pick. He does not meet any of those minimums IMO. And my personal height and weight minimums keep going up every couple of years as the defensive players keep getting taller and stronger.

The largest problem of all for the Panthers is that they have a meddling nincompoop owner who forces the football side to do stupid things. That can only change with new ownership.

I agree but the OL has been decent i think JD5 play and the RBs have help to this point mask the OL's short comings

I also think the buzz out of CHI is to try to put some blame on the OL to take some heat off CW18; but CW18 just quit honestly has not been good (only been two games so a ways to go )

The media likes to build these guys up then they LOVE to tear them down the second they are not the shiniest nickel in the bunch

It's all about the clicks; therefore, instant analysis. It's very unfair to the players.

Bingo. The coaches wanted to draft CJ Stroud and Tepper wanted Bryce Young.

Jayden Daniels > Caleb Williams > Bryce Young
