2022 NFL season - Regular Season Thread - Picks etc.

Cowboys release half their coaching staff and Dan Quinn cancels his head coach interviews. Dare I dream that McCarthy is on the way out and Quinn's getting full control.....

The no.1 problem is the QB. You can't blame McCarthy or any other coach for a guy throwing that bad. Most ints in the league despite missing five games.

What was it, 4-1 with a backup and 8-4 with him? That 8-4 included wins over the Lions, Bears, Colts and Texans.

How can you blame a coach for 15 interceptions in 12 regulate season games? And a loss that was all the QBs fault in the playoffs.

Guys there is a seperate thread for NFL discussion. This thread is for picks and discussion of this weeks games.

Man Vs ManUre

Eagles and Chiefs. Going for a full house this round.

Paleface

182 - 100 overall

Championship Round

49ers @ Eagles

Bengals @ Chiefs

I really like the 49ers and hate betting against them, but the Eagles have a lot of fire power to contain. That and Brock Purdy is going to have a lot of pressure on him. Its going to be an epic battle with the Eagles edging it.

Mahomes is not getting over a high ankle sprain in a week and I suspect like in Super Bowl LV, his injury will greatly limit his performance in this game, handing the advantage to the Bengals. They look like a team on a mission.

You should be going with what your knowledge of the game tells you and make an educated guess. That way you won't regret your decisions.

Like you are saying you picked the Eagles and Cinci and you've gone with the exact opposite.

How are you going to feel if Philly and Cincinnati win?

Going Eagles and Bengals tonight. Should be two good games

49ers v Bengals.

I don't see Mahomes being able to be all-time on that ankle.

49ers are the only team who could carry a rookie QB to this SuperBowl, and I think they will.

Elijah Mitchell is inactive for SF. Significant loss for the 49ers.

And now their defensive play caller and lead tackler Fred Warner could be gone.

SlickRic

Two ridiculous catches in that drive.

Might be Philly's day alright.

Well that's irritating...

Would say x3 but its gone beyond irritating at this stage.

Down 7-0 to a TD that never should have been and down to our 4th choice QB. wonderful.

What co-ordinator puts a back up tight end blocking a premiere pash rusher early in a game, not once but twice

Should the 49ers staff have copped something was up from the way the Eagles player was calling for a spike play?

Podge_irl

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120175057#Comment_120175057

Yes. And Ward should have been absolutely screaming at the sideline.

SlickRic

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120175057#Comment_120175057

Yes.

But the problem was they couldn't see video proof.

adrian522

Depressing.

adrian522

Really bad first half for Shanahan, called out his in game management beforehand and it comes to pass with the missed challenge early.

Having said that the officiating has also been terrible, that Jimmy Ward PI was complete BS and they should also have called official review on the non catch on the first drive. A lot of soft penalties called including delay of game which normally gets a second or so grace.

collybyrne

Prior to the fumbled snap I would have said the 9ers were still well in this one. That was a tough blow to take though. Gonna take some serious mental strength to bounce back in the 2nd.

adrian522

Also why is a TE blocking Hasan Riddick? Was that really by design?

Itssoeasy

If the eagles do win they really need to get back on track to what they were doing for most of the season. The bengals in particular on form will batter either team.

SlickRic

49ers have no chance here. Not with this QB.

Man Vs ManUre

Fantastic, Eagles are cruising to victory here, and halfway to a perfect prediction round for me. This is a triumph for working class blue collar over the Silicon Valley google and facebook remote working dorks.

Podge_irl

Painful to watch the defence play this well but impossible to overcome the QB issue.

murtyd17

Prurdy back by the looks of it
