No doubt no? What has that dude ever won?
The announcers were talking about him being a virtual lock, and how to unfair that only QBs get dinged for not winning SBs.

Not worth looking up to confirm, but I feel like Seattle, out of all the teams in the NFL, tends to have the weirdest point totals throughout the course of the season.

I feel like I always see scores like:

Seattle 25
XYZ 14

Seattle 18
XYZ 14

Seattle 12
XYZ 10

Or something along those lines

300+ TDs, 45,000+ yards passing. Everyone else in that club is in the HOF or will be. Rivers will have the counting stats.
I don't think he's an obvious "no", just not a slam dunk. His counting stars are great, but they came in an offensive-heavy era. And he only gets in after Manning, Brady, Brees, and probably Rodgers. And if things keep up, maybe Matt Ryan.

I don't think he's a shoe-in.

Both of them, most likely

“@Rich_Hammond: Goff sacked for seventh time.”

I am going to love. LOVE having the Chargers and Rams take a dump on my tv every Sunday next season. Just splendid. LA goes from no teams to two terrible teams. They better get good quickly or LA will turn on them. LA have already begun to turn on The Rams.
We've been through this. You are under no obligation to watch either. In fact, there are steps you can take to watch other teams.

Eh. It's a mix of being forced to watch the games and the dumpster fire that will be LA sports talk radio with two NFL teams stinking up the joint.

My only option is really NFL streams (Reddit) or the online version of Sunday ticket. Both have given me issues in past seasons.

If you bet Atlanta today, you're considering committing a crime against someone innocent and vulnerable. Wow that would be a brutal loss.

Six teams who weren't in the playoffs last year made them this year -- Dolphins, Raiders, Cowboys, Falcons, Lions, Giants

The Patriots are the only one of last year's top 3 seeds in either conference to make the playoffs this year (Panthers, Cardinals, Vikings, Broncos, Bengals didn't).

Carson Palmer (282 TDs, 44,000+ yds) is a season away from those numbers and I doubt anyone considers him a HOF QB.

Manning, Brady, Brees, Roethlisberger, E Manning, Rodgers, (probably) Ryan will all have 300+ TDs/45K+ yards and better cases for the HOF. As said above, expectations change.

I appreciate when the starters just quickly state their alma mater without any stupid flair, and that includes the ridiculous stress on the definite article for a certain school. What's this group's favorite? Guessing it's not BSHU.

Patriots and Texans only repeat division winners. Texans.

This will be my semi-annual reminder that "Minny" is a nonsensical abbreviation for "Minnesota", and nonexistent amongst the residents of the state. Nor is it used for Minneapolis. Why, I do believe saying it would earn you some serious passive-aggression and certainly cause the cancellation of any invite to the lake cabin.

Thank you.
Sort of the "Beantown" for the upper Midwest, eh?

I'm pretty sure if you actually ran the numbers, the "goal line fade throw to the back corner" has a success rate of no more than 10%.
