JJ McCarthy lost his rookie season to an knee meniscus tear which was surgically repaired. He was recently reported to have undergone a 2nd surgical procedure. However, as it turns out, this is not correct. He has had ongoing swelling and inflammation of the knee and has undergone platelet rich plasma injections to the knee. This does not change the fact that he will not be seen this season.
Where are the good teams on that list, where are the bad teams?

Lots of good teams with lots of penalties (bmore, Houston, GB) lots of good teams in the middle and a few good teams with very few penalties.
All over the board. My point was the chiefs lack of penalties

I’ve seen better fights in Walmart.
That was a good fight but the outcome is one of the reasons why I stopped watching boxing 30 years ago. Judging was awful back then and it was awful last night. There’s no way anybody watching that with their human eyes could have not only given that to Taylor, but doing it unanimously. Total and complete bullshit.
Kittle unlikely to play vs. Seahawks, sources say
Niners star tight end George Kittle is unlikely to play Sunday against the Seahawks because of a hamstring injury, sources told ESPN.
WR Toney to debut for Browns; OT Wills out
The Browns elevated wide receiver Kadarius Toney from the practice squad for Sunday's road game against the Saints while offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. was downgraded to out.
The Bills' offensive stars called these plays for themselves -- here's how they worked out
Instead of shying away from plays that players request, OC Joe Brady believes in showing trust and starting games with those plays.

Interesting, I think the Bills' approach with Allen (6yr vet) is pretty solid. Having the whole offense contribute through Allen sharing with Joe Brady definitely promotes buy-in. I'd probably want a quarterback to have 3 or 4 years in the league before fully relying on him to understand what it takes of being a NFL starter (leadership, schemes/concepts on both sides of the ball, attention to detail and performance, etc). I also think an OC should know what his offense executes well.The Bills' offensive stars called these plays for themselves -- here's how they worked out

I get that. Just broadening the discussion. We got so many people here crying about penalties as if it's the end of the world. The problem, imo, is that the offense is so bad we have no margin of error.

By then his rookie contract is over and after 2-3 more years or a 7 yr window it's time to move on because the QB will be taking up too much cap space to win a championship.

Jets fire GM Joe Douglas after 5 years and zero winning seasons
The firing of Douglas is the second major front-office shake-up this fall. The Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh on Oct. 8 when the team was 2-3.

I thought that team was just a QB away from SB contention.

It’s the right call. The Jets gave him 5 years, which could’ve been about right considering the Rodgers signing. Rodgers got hurt the first season and they crapped the bed this season in all phases of the game.

If Eli gets in then the Pro Football HOF is about as useless as the Baseball HOF.
And before anybody argues he should be in, he never led the league in any category except INT, 3 times, had 1.5 TD to every pick, and had a 60.3% completion percentage, 7.0 Y/A, and a 84.1 passer rating. Matt Schaub - 64.2%, 7.6, and 89.5. Oh, and Jim Plunkett won 2 SB too. He’s not a HOFer either.
Also, 2 of his 4 Pro Bowl selections were as a replacement.

I'm fine with Eli in HOF. Can't tell the story of Brady without bringing up the little brother of his rival.
He will make it at some point. I'm thinking first ballot due to the name and the NY factor. Helps him that NYG have absolutely sucked since he retired

Unfortunately you're probably right. We have become a society that cares less and less about actual achievements, facts, and what have you.
That's like saying you can't tell the story of the Ravens ridiculous defense without Trent Dilfer game managing the offense. That's not what HOF is supposed to be.
If Eli has to piggyback Brady, and/or his brother to get in, that tells you all you need to know right there.
BTW, Eli had just 7 winning seasons in his 16 year career, and has a .500 QB record. If he's going to get credit for 2 SB wins, shouldn't he also take something for 9 losing seasons and a 117-117 record?
