Well, that was a damn good pass he just threw. Maybe back into 7th round consideration.

wonder what league he will play in next year.

He made 2.5M this year, so if he was smart he is set for life... but I doubt he is smart.

neither of those are TDs, though.

They also have the longest bowl win streak in the nation with 9 bowl wins in a row going back to 2015.

Also, not only did they win 3 Nattys in a row from 1934-1936

They also won the 2 titles before the US joined WW2 and then their head coach and a few of their players joined the war effort. Minnesota would lose their 18 game winning streak to Iowa Pre-Flight...a military academy made up of all-americans from the area including 2 of Minnesota's best players from their title teams. Who knows if Minnesota could've 3-peated again if Pearl Harbor was one year later...

If Tampa loses on Saturday, then a win would make us 2nd in the division while a loss would make us 4th. A tampa win and a NO win would make us 3rd.

The difference between playing.

Finishing 2nd in the division has us playing:
Dallas
San Francisco
Chargers

Finishing 3rd in the division would have us playing:
Washington
Rams
Kansas City

Finishing 4th in the division would have us playing:
Giants
Arizona
Las Vegas

Finishing 4th not only gives us the 8th pick in the draft, it also gives us 3 pretty easy wins next year. As much as it would pain me to lose to Atlanta, that is some good incentive to lose.

1. Porter Pick 6
2. Gleason Block recovered by Deloach for 6
3. Meacharound
HM: Gilliam kick return

He has allowed a perfect QB rating on passes targeting him this year.

in other words, he was worse at guarding WRs than air.

Despite LSU's worst 5 year stretch in the past 26 years, LSU has a better record than Minnesota against a much tougher schedule.

Where is the excuse? LSU fans were pissed at the level of play and fired 2 coaches in this span.

3 things happened after the 2005 season that killed the appeal of MNF.
1. Moving from ABC to ESPN. Say what you want but primetime on a major network was way better than primetime on ESPN for national appeal.
2. NFL deciding that SNF should be the marquee game instead of MNF.
3. Replacing Al Michaels and John Madden with Tony Kornheiser, Mike Tirico, and Joe Theismann.

Yes, Madden was only on MNF for 4 seasons, but it was must watch TV all four seasons unlike Dennis Miller and Dan Fouts of the late 90s and Mike Tirico and Tony Kornheiser of the late 2000s.

I and many many others were paying way more attention to the SNF game with Michaels and Madden over the MNF game.

In 2003, ESPN averaged 6.4M while MNF averaged 16.8 M.

In 2004, SNF averaged 6.8M while MNF averaged 16.4 Million.

In 2005, Sunday Night Football averaged 9.25 Million viewers, MNF averaged 16.4 Million.

In 2006, Sunday Night Football averaged 17 million viewers each week. The highest watched MNF game in 2006 was 16M for Giants/Cowboys and 15M for Saints/Falcons. Sunday Night Football had 4 games with over 20M viewers while MNF had 5 games with less than 10M viewers.

In 2007, SNF averaged 17.5 Million viewers. MNF averaged 12.3 M viewers.

In 2008, SNF averaged 16.8 M viewers. MNF averaged 12 M viewers.

In 2009, SNF averaged 19.4 Million viewers, MNF averaged 14.4 M viewers.

Madden was just 1 part of the 3 things, not the focus of the post.

believe it or not the 2012 Saints D was 12th in Turnovers Forced and 14th in Interceptions having recovered 11 fumbles and picking off 15 passes.

The 2012 Saints D had 4 Pick 6's and 9 players with an INT and 7 defensive players with a fumble recovery.


That worst defense of all-time also pitched a 41-0 shutout of the Bucs where Josh Freeman turned the ball over 5 times by himself.

So in one game the 2012 Saints had forced more turnovers than the 2025 Jets have in 16 games.

The Jets have allowed 32 passing TDs without a single pick in 16 games.

With just one game left, the Jets have only Josh Allen between them and NFL history.

The QBs the Jets have faced in their 16 games so far have thrown 143 INTs on the year so it isn't like they are facing guys who don't turn it over.

The record for least interceptions by a team in a season is 2 set by the 49ers in 2018. That 9ers team also has the record for fewest takeaways at 7.

The Jets are close to breaking both the 9ers marks as they have recovered just 4 opponents fumbles this year.

They need to turn the Bills over 3 times this weekend to avoid these records.
