NFL Week 3 Review

[bayala]

Here's a look at our top 10 after 3 rounds. Tipping has been hard early with a lot of upsets and crazy results. 

 

Hot Takes 

1. Half Baked

[Kleiman]: Since he became a starter, Baker Mayfield has thrown 19 INTs, that's more than any QB in the league. He has also thrown 6 of those INTs in the fourth quarter. Also more than any QB in the league. 

Baker Mayfield and Johnny Manziel comparisons were quashed early in in starting career but is there more truth to that than initially thought. 

 

2. Fresh Start

[Ochoa] Amari Cooper caught 19 touchdowns in 52 career games with the Oakland Raiders. He has 10 touchdowns in 12 career games with the Dallas Cowboys.

Amari Cooper was laughed out of Oakland as a one-season wonder. He know looks like the premier WR that many scouts had him labelled as coming out of college. 

 

3. Hey....at least they're conistent

[Hailey] Week 1 - Carson Wentz had a 71% completion percentage Week 2 - Dak Prescott had a 86% completion percentage Week 3 - Mitch Trubisky had a 80% completion percentage The Redskins’ defense’s best performance is holding a QB to a completion percentage of SEVENTY ONE PERCENT

 

4. Sack Barrett

[Kinsley] Shaquil Barrett signed a one-year contract with the Buccaneers in the offseason and through three games he has 8 sacks, 7 TFL and 8 QB hits.

He will probably get overpaid by the Jets and never have a season like this again. 

 

5. Long year ahead

The 2019 Miami Dolphins have the worst point differential in NFL history over the first 3 games at -39 PPG

Fins up!  It's unwatchable.  Talentless all over the field.

Painful! I've been a fan my entire life and unfortunately I'm used to it.

ben, i would not be too worried about miami. they play us in a couple of weeks. they'll look like the 85 bears after that.

Remind me to never, ever, ever bet on the Redskins defense again.  Trubisky stinks, right? Bears not going to score on ... oh no.  Oh no.

i could have told you that. 

actually, i think we have a potentially good defence - certainly potentially better than the cesspool that is our offence (bar scary terry, woohoo). the problem is that we have coaches who really do act like they have never seen the game before. hopeless. surely they are gone if/when we lose to the giants and pats. miami after that. 

mind you, i will continue to tip them - just would not be right to tip against them or for the cowgirls. hence why i never win tipping comps.

No chance.  We're going to get smoked.  One of the worst teams in recent history.

it is a race to the bottom. i think we can do better - we are one of the worst teams in history, recent or otherwise.
