NFL - NEWS & NOTES

Should've faked getting a massage.

 

This is where things start to get tricky for San Francisco. John Lynch built the team by backloading contracts, and the hammer starts to fall next season. The cap figures on McCaffrey, Samuel, Kittle, Aiyuk, Hargrave and Ward increase by a combined 74 million for 2024. If Purdy shines this season and next season, showing himself to be more than a "system" quarterback, they might not be able to afford the long term deal to keep him.

 

Purdy is the right system for him surrounded by insane talent the team that pays him will regret it.

 

Are you guys saying, Purdy is not a 'franchise' QB in San Fransico?

 

Kareem Jackson fined only $19,669 for hit that led to concussion and ejection

Broncos safety Kareem Jackson got off easy from the NFL’s disciplinary department.

Jackson was fined just $19,669 for his illegal hit on Commanders tight end Logan Thomas, which knocked Thomas out of the game and got Jackson ejected.

Through two games this season, Jackson has two fines for two illegal hits that gave opponents concussions. Jackson was fined $14,819 for a hit that concussed Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers in Week One.

Given the repeated nature of Jackson’s violations and the seriousness of the injuries he has caused, it’s surprising that he has so far racked up only $34,488 in fines. Three different players — Houston’s Denzel Perryman and Pittsburgh’s Kwon Alexander and Jaylen Warren — were fined more than that this week for one single hit, and none of those hits were flagged on the field.

If Jackson gives another player a concussion with another illegal hit this week, perhaps the NFL will deal with it more seriously.

This is why the Disciplinary Department is a joke until they learn to standardize/categorize these hits. Someone always has to get hurt before fines are handed down and this time the NFL screwed that up. The Department watches video, makes calls against players that were not called on the field and then turn around and do this with Jackson. Cant they look and see what was dolled out for other 'infractions' then make a common-sensical decision on what to do for an injury causing 'illegal' hit?

 

Nick Chubb has a torn MCL, likely recovery time is, 6 to 8 months.

EDIT; I failed to mention that this particular injury is less severe than originally expected.

The Cleveland Browns running back underwent an MRI, and the prognosis is reportedly much more optimistic. Chubb suffered a torn left MCL, which will be surgically repaired next week, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter. His recovery timeline is reportedly six to eight months.

His left ACL was reportedly partially damaged, but not completely torn. He could need two surgeries. It will depend on the outcome of the upcoming procedure, during which the doctor will assess the full scope of the injury. If necessary, the second procedure would be a full ACL reconstruction.

Early reports made it seem the 27-year-old's knee was fully dislocated after the apparent forced hyperextension — which would have been career-threatening. While Chubb's ligament injuries are serious, he reportedly has more odds of making a full recovery with this current diagnosis than the former.

I was both shocked and elated with this news. I looked brutal and for it to be this compared to what it looked ked like means we should see this kid return to full form when he gets back on the field. I don't care that he plays for the Browns he is a special.player that as a football fan I love to watch.

 

Well said.

 

So, Tucker is human. Short on the 61 yard attempt. He needs to get in the gym.

 

70 points put up by the dolphins

 

70pts WOW

 

When was the last time that happened? I remember some 60 point games. But this? I hope Sean Payton has good security.

 

Got a feeling the DC will have access denied when he scans his card to get into the building tomorrow

 

The Redskins put up 72 points in 1966.

 

Tua knew I was without Chubb said he had my back

 

1pm et Finals...

 

The Bears 73-0 win over Washington in the 1940 NFL Championship Game is the most points ever in an NFL game. Washington’s 72-41 victory over the Giants on Nov. 27, 1966, is the most points ever in a regular-season game.

As it stands, the Dolphins have the most points in an NFL game since the Rams beat the Baltimore Colts 70-27 on Dec. 22, 1950.

 

Think that 70 may be motivating the Chiefs

 

4pm et Finals and Sunday Night Football...
