OT: NFL 2025 Playoff Games Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Yeah, entirely possible that Tua has a short career…another concussion tonight already confirmed.
He needs to learn to slide. That was clearly an unnecessary hit initiated by him.
Whether this is the final one or not he has to start planning life after football. He's making enough money to be set for life, IF he doesn't screw things up.
Tua went in with his head down.
That's the number 1 thing NOT TO DO in football.
But people do it all the time because pro coaches assume college coaches taught rules, but college coaches assume HS varsity coaches taught rules and they assume JV coaches taught rules and often nobody taught rules .

Is this the new Sunday Ticket service? Pretty convenient for it to be on YT now. Need to look up the cost details and options.
Darnold becoming a "star"
WSJ
"Not long ago, Sam Darnold had all the hallmarks of a monumental bust.
Three years after the New York Jets tabbed him with the No. 3 pick in the 2018 draft, they dumped him for a chance at a new quarterback. With the Carolina Panthers, he battled injuries and eventually lost his job again. He spent last season as a backup with the San Francisco 49ers.
When he signed with the Minnesota Vikings this year, the expectation was for him to merely keep the seat warm for first-round rookie J.J. McCarthy—and probably provide a couple of comical blunders along the way.
Except Darnold has hardly looked like a disappointment with the Vikings. Instead, he has turned into someone else entirely: the sort of prized quarterback he was supposed to be at the start of his career. "

These Quarterbacks Were Colossal Failures. Now They’re Leading the NFL’s Best Teams.
With his fourth NFL team, former No. 3 overall pick Sam Darnold has the Minnesota Vikings off to an undefeated start—and he’s not alone with plenty of teams profiting off once-prized passers who were deemed busts.

Amazing - Saunders makes an INT off Kelce.
He's brother of a Swift back-up singer/dancer
..and she's there...

That's what happens when 2 players on your team make up 1/3 of the cap.
Deshaun Watson with Achilles injury
Buy him out over the offseason and move on. He is completely shot, even before this injury.
They can't. With his fully guaranteed contract, the dead cap money would be massive. This is the best case scenario, as they can get half of his 2025 salary back via insurance.
"Dead money" hit away with him still on the team. Him being around is worse. They f'ed up. I guess eat the hit in 2026 (after the injury) and carry on.
