@chris-osborne not sure what will happen. Broncos nonQB so playing WR there too but crazy I wonder if any team will try and get kapernick in...
I saw Pittsburgh out with a few players so went a put early money down on the ravens but with the news with Lemar out now it's moved the other way.

Goodness only knows what if any NFL games we’ll get this weekend. If games played could be some uncompetitive matchups.
No end of players for Pittsburgh and Baltimore unavailable for COVID reasons including Lamar Jackson and James Connor. There game has already been moved twice.
Broncos have no QB available again for COVID reasons. There’s talk of a RB playing QB but for health and safety reasons how can the NFL let them play. Obviously Denver won’t forfeit the game.
49ers alongside all college and pro sports teams are now banned from entering there stadiums and training facilities due to COVID restrictions from Santa Clara county for the foreseeable future. There looking at neutral venues in states where they have away games left.
In addition the NFL have instructed all teams to close there facilities for 2 days completely this coming week.
Personally I think this week’s games will be cancelled but what happens next week?

@martin-futter I agree although Dallas and Detroit always stage a Thanksgiving game. The Baltimore v Pittsburgh game would have been the prime time US game which would have been two decent teams

Thanksgiving today should be one of the highlights of the season with three games back to back but could be a bit of a damp squib today.
Baltimore v Pittsburgh been moved to the weekend for COVID reasons and the other four teams don’t have a winning record between them.
One important factor in the Dallas game which could go one of two ways is that one of there coaches collapsed and tragically passed away from a heart attack on Tuesday
didn't help to have games with 4 losing teams playing against each other, they should flex these games maybe a month in advance and vary the teams a bit more

The Miami QB situation is an interesting one, Tua was getting battered did they take him out to protect him from further punishment seeing as he was injury prone in College or we're there other reasons.
Keeping with rookie QB's such a shame for Joe Burrow as with Tua, these young QB's are only as good as the protection in front of them of which both Cincinatti and Miami have none existent Offensive Lines.
Justin Herbert was ripped to pieces pre draft by the so called experts good to see him proving them wrong currently.
Surely its time for the Eagles to pull the plug on Carson Wentz and see what they have in Jalen Hurts.
It was a bit of both but it was partly to protect him, if the line can't give a QB any time to throw then there is no point letting him take a beating!
We won't draft a QB unless Tua really doesn't do anything rest of season, we will invest in getting him some help and if there is no progression next year maybe will draft one then.
Feel for Burrow as he has been thrown to the lions taking so many hits this season on a terrible team! There was some inevitability to this, shows how important it is to sort your offensive line.
Never got the Herbert hate, he clearly had a skill set for the NFL, didn't want him above Burrow and Tua but still saw he had potential. It's such a strange culture in America to rip apart players who are so young and yet to play professionally, we would never do that here in football would we! It's like they don't understand that players that young could improve as they move towards their prime!
Wentz should be benched, at least for a game to see what Hurts can do, why draft him so high if you aren't willing to play him at all?

That is true this year hasn't been his best. Tbh I haven't look at eagles very much. But with a 3-6-1 record there still in the run to win the division and make playoffs what's ridiculous
Tell me about it the NFL East is dreadful and I'm a Dallas fan

@simji said in NFL Strategies:
I think it was defo to protect him plus he's learning and when you have someone who can be unpredictable in Fritz worth putting him in to see if they can get something out of the game
Wentz gets a lot of the plaudits and he is a good QB but I find it funny eagles biggest achievement was when he was injured
Not sure Wentz is getting the plaudits anymore he is getting worse year on year and leads the League in interceptions

Yeah Fitz looked like he might have brought it back toward the end.
Looking back over the night of trading. I definitely over traded. But the trades I did I would again I think they where solid. But I just didn't excute very well instead of being up 13(6.5pt) I was down 1pt (£2)

@simji said in NFL Strategies:
Miami offence hasn't been as good today. Kinda glad as my team broncos might actually have a chance
Man that offensive line was non existant, I genuinely think if it was removed Tua wouldn't have been hit more he was trying to get the ball out within 1-2 seconds for fear of his life!
Well played Broncos though, always felt a tougher game than was being made out

Vikings lose ball towards end of the first half. Good job they saved the TD and only allowing a field goal. But with the cowboys D bring the worst this year allowing points. Av.32 and Vikings offence been consistent this last 3/4 weeks I see some points.
Vikings 2.44
