Ah yes, great point about Dan taking over play calling and thus the X's and O's are him! Our head coach, also a Dan, took over play calling for the defense which went from one of the worst I've ever seen to just really really bad. When we played Detroit this year I don't think you all punted until late in the 4th when the game was over, for example.
Hats off to Ben Johnson, he has Chicago playing really well.
I would have really liked to see what your team would have done last year if you didn't have so many injuries. I thought Detroit was the best team before you had 8738 injuries (and think a healthy Detroit teams beats my Commanders in the playoffs).

You were right, the team got a bag of coal.
Lots of teams would trade their starting qb for Goff tomorrow. Including mine (Tua).
And me (Bryce)
The league is so weak at qb right now that Goff is in that 7-12 range of best qbs every year at this point.
I’d put (in no particular order) Allen, Maye, Burrow, Jackson, Mahomes, Nix, Herbert, Prescott, Hurts, Love, Mayfield, Stafford, Purdy and Darnold above him. Maybe a few others too. Which makes Goff pretty right in the middle of the 32. He’s average.

I was just contemplating Tua/Darnold and thought the Seahawks would probably say "no" to that swap.
But ask again next week.
That one’s not close. Tua doesn’t have nearly the arm strength or the athleticism to be a good NFL quarterback. That’s very clear. He’s in the bottom quartile of starters right now and really should be a backup. If the dolphins could cut him without ruining their salary structure for the next 2-3 years, they would.
As long as the O line has time to build a comfortable den with a couch, snacks and give Goff a warm blanket, you would be exactly right. He's not moving off that couch. Not one inch.

The Bears and Niners would like a word, I think.
This one has been an absolute prizefight.
I agree, but Jackson seems to be on the decline, and I'm concerned about Mayfield. But his problem may the OL. I had a hard time on who start at QB on some of my fantasy football teams yesterday. Drake May, Joe Burrow, or Trevor Lawrence. They all have been playing well. I chose Maye and was pleased with the results.

What a ball game. It looked like the team who had the ball last would win. Those are two great offenses. Defense, not so much. I thought one of the announcers said that the Bears had allowed 40 points in two or three games this season.
GoDuke!

I liked the Niners strategy of not wearing themselves out by actually playing defense. It got them off the field quickly.
Then they were fresh and ready to go for the final play.

Such a depressing season for this old Lions fan, but I should have known that God would never let us get to the Super Bowl

If only the Niners could've lost one of their All-Pro defenders instead of two...
However, rumors are swirling about Fred Warner, the absolute freak that he is, possibly returning at some point in the playoffs if the Niners can hang around.
I still haven't gotten my hopes up about this team though, just enjoying the ride knowing they really shouldn't be in this position with all their injuries, so anything else is gravy at this point.

Around here, I don’t think this is most people’s primary concern with this hypothetical.

Thankfully the Tar Heels are not allowed to celebrate Drake’s success, because the Patriots were mean to Big Bill, or something.

I’m kind of chuckling at how the Failcons managed to make themselves the nexus of this little subplot. Bilious Belichick ended up in the Dump on the Hump, some might say, in large part because the Failcons passed on him, and now the Failcons have helped thrust Maye to the forefront of the MVP race by somehow stumbling into last night’s victory over Stafford and the Rams.
