Really had the league (and me) fooled after that 2021 season.

Just think if Ronnie Lott played today. How many suspensions would he have?
@PackLandVA posted:De'Vondre Campbell struggling with the Niners
Campbell has struggled badly in coverage, allowing 14 catches for 149 yards and one touchdown on 16 targets according to Pro Football Focus. Most likely will be replaced as starter.
I saw Fred Warner get blocked pretty well too on some key plays by the Rams. He used to beat those blocks.
Niners & Cowboys miss playoffs. Said it before the start of the season.
3 teams from NFC North get in

Lott would barely get any paychecks with all the fines coming out.
For all the hype the Cowboys always get that is a flawed team. When your leading rushers are someone named Rico Dowdle and a washed up Zeke you are goiing to struggle offensively. And they very well could be 1-5 before they face SF in a few weeks. Sure Dak puts up some good stats but am not sure he is the guy to get them over the hump.
As for SF I am with you on them. They have been due for a season with injuries and they just fall off a bit as the team gets older and they have very little coming up as young players.

You think what MIN is doing is sustainable for them?
I haven't seem him play yet with MIN but Darnold is having the same early success that other guy did for MIN last year, Dobbs? He was a nobody claimed off the scrap heap, had some big games, then the clock struck 12 and he evaporated. Darnold certainly rolls out of bed with more skills but I don't know that I see him staying at the pace he's been at so far.
He won't continue at the same pace as now, but he doesn't need to. If he plays even 2/3 of what he does now, their defense continues to play well, and O'Connell adds more runs, they'll still be okay. They may not win the division, but I can see them in a WC game.
3 teams....NFC North....3 teams. Mark it down

GB offense had issues the first game last year vs this MIN D. Then 10 sliced and diced it in game 2. That's another area of their team I'm not sold on. How long will the scheme hold up.

He's playing much better than Dobbs did for a couple of games but I agree things are going to settle back to where they should be. I see a Sam Bradford situation. He also came in and played well a couple of games then old Sam returned.
Looks like Micah Parsons out 2-4 weeks with a high ankle sprain. And the injury (mid foot sprain) to DeMarcus Lawrence is a little more severe. He’s expected to miss a minimum of 4 weeks. Link
The ‘boys officially thin on the defensive edges.
Panthers LB Shaq Thompson suffers torn Achilles, will miss remainder of 2024 season
Kansas City Chiefs have more to worry about, with star wide receiver Rashee Rice undergoing tests for what is potentially a season-ending knee injury. Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters on Monday that fully clarity on Rice's injury may not come until later, but that he is likely out indefinitely. Link
Injuries may be the only thing to stop KC from threepeteing.
What happened to that player that collapsed on the sidelines?

I hadn't seen him play this season yet before that comment and now that I have, he's finding the open receiver and putting it on him with great efficiency. Reminds me of when they had Brad Johnson.
But three things are creating ideal conditions for him: an OL keeping him clean, a very good/elite group of WR's, and a coach/playcaller who clearly knows how to maximize the collective talent.
Let's see how long the OL holds up, either through health or defenses catching up, and if Jefferson and Addison stay healthy though he'll be getting more help with Hockensen's return. Darnold hasn't had to carry that team yet.

Jets, KC, Niners
Although I can't see the Ray-Duhs trading him to KC but ya never know
@AdamSchefter
Two teams high on Davante Adams’ wishlist of places to land - if not at the very top - are the Jets and Saints, per league sources. Adams ideally would like to play with a QB he knows. The Jets have former teammate Aaron Rodgers, and the Saints have former teammate Derek Carr.

I would bet you good money GM Rodgers is already pestering the team to get Adams. And probably having a tantrum as I am typing this if he doesn't get his way.
Do the Niners have any draft capital to work with to get Adams? And I know they are starting to get in a salary cap bind so can they take on his salary. I honestly don't know how salaries work in the NFL on trades so maybe LV picks up most of it?
I guess the Saints could be a landing spot for him since his buddy plays QB there. And if I had to guess I think he goes to the Saints.
He'll have to renegotiate his contract wherever he ends up. The cap hit for 2025 and 26 is astronomical. Something like $35/36 million per year.

Jets fans will love the double coverage hero balls thrown at Adams while Lazard stands by himself uncovered.
Just flew in to London today from Denver, one Viking fan on the plane(wearing a Theilin) jersey, none seen in a 3 mile walk along the Thames. No Jet fans sighted either.
My biggest takeaway from conversations with teams around the league? Many involved or have checked in believe the Jets are the team that will get this trade done.

Well, ain't that just too bad.

If there is one thing the league turns a blind eye to, it's their players thumping on their gf/wives.
4 games.... why even bother?
London update. After walking approx 7 miles, 2 Minny fans sighted, no Jets fans as of yet. This however was the high light. My wife was browsing in a tea shop. A high end type of place, there were pictures of Prince Charles, Camilla, Prince Harry, Margaret Trudeau and many other prominent folks with the proprietor. Included on the picture wall was a pic of the proprietor and Green Bay Packer footballer Owen Burks!
You can’t make this stuff up.

Day 4 in the UK, plenty of purple in town now, still have seen only one Jets fan. I saw one Viking fan today queueing up at Canterbury Cathedral for a tour, possibly lighting a candle or whatever they do in the Church of England,
Skol!

You've gotta walk across Abbey Road, don't you? Enjoy the great city of London. Watch for werewolves.
