lichtie23 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Kicks off tonight with the Ravens travelling to Las Vegas to play in the 1st game at Allegiant Stadium with fans in the seats to face the Raiders. This is the first year in a while that I can remember that there is only 1 game on the opening Monday night and not a doubleheader. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t answer that mate. I’m pretty sure that the Browns weren’t on MNF for a good few years until a few season back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Correct. Was surprised the Bears have been selected more than any other team (since 2010). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Monday_Night_Football_results_(2010–present) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) Used to be that teams who had finished < .500 the year previously were not considered for MNF, but they did away with that a while back. I think it's just about perceived quality, attractiveness of the match-up, and paying lip service to trying to get most teams on at least once unless they absolutely stink. TV markets also a consideration for primetime. There's no way the Chargers would have had 3 MNF games playing in SD, similarly I doubt you'll see Jax at Cinci any time soon.

Boo Khaki Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) First half observations - Gus Bradley is still stealing a living as an NFL DC. I still have no idea what it actually is he supposedly does, since his entire scheme consists of nothing more than a vanilla Cover 3 on 1st, and 2nd downs, and a switch to a vanilla Dime on 3rds and/or long to goes. Year 4, and Lamar Jackson's mechanics in the pocket are still diabolically poor. Ravens are utterly deluded if they think this guy is ever going to be a legit NFL QB. Mark Davis's hairdresser is still the best troll in the history of trolling. Edited September 14, 2021 by Boo Khaki 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 That OT was great. Raiders probably deserved that, from what I saw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Great, but also stressful as f**k. It feels like we haven't had a comfortable, straightforward win in about 8 years. That said, 1-0 is 1-0. Yet another strong start to the season against the odds, and that's very pleasing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also something about games needing to be near or at capacity for them to get on the TV, not sure if they still do the blackout though on that basis or if that has been ditched. That would be my guess at to why the Chargers are at home to the Raiders, in the hope of a decent crowd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be my guess at to why the Chargers are at home to the Raiders, in the hope of a decent crowd. The blackout rule has been gone for a good 5+ years now, I think. It also didn't apply to "primetime" games like SNF or MNF either and was only in place in local markets. For example, if the Chargers had sold less than 85% of their tickets for a random Sunday afternoon game, the game wouldn't be shown on TV in the San Diego area so as to try and encourage local fans to go to the game. A bit different to the primetime games which are aired nationally and wouldn't have ever been blacked out. Of course, that does go back to the point of the selection for the primetime games. The teams who had a higher proportion of blacked out games (when it was a thing) are the sort of teams you'd never see anywhere near a Monday night game (eg. Jaguars or Bengals). Which kind of ties into what BK was saying about the attractiveness of certain teams/matchups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 12 hours ago, G51 said: Keep Lamar in the pocket and he turns into Colt McCoy. Yup. All his completions are between the numbers and he's wildly inaccurate outside them. He's footwork is still terrible, he doesn't step into his throws, and the number of time he hits the bottom of his drop and instantaneously takes off without even looking down the field is ridiculous. NFL is a passing league first and foremost. I don't care how athletic your QB is, to have any sort of sustained success and win Superbowls you need your guy to hang in the pocket and make the throws that Jackson can't. Media is still endlessly parroting the 'revolutionising the position' horseshit that's been going on since the days of Randall Cunningham. It happened with RC, it happened with Kordell Stewart, Michael Vick, Vince Young, RGIII, and now Jackson. The irony is that RC and MV were far more effective QB's once they stopped running constantly and learned how to pass from the pocket. Stewart, Young and RGIII never did, and it's looking like it's totally beyond Jackson as well. If he keeps on playing the way he does then there's no need to 'figure him out' like they were gibbering on about last night, because you can already ignore any part of the field outside the numbers, so he's already 'figured out' due to his own shortcomings in a way, plus I doubt he'll be physically able to play out his second contract. Funny how Mahomes never gets talked about in exactly the same way despite arguably being far more of a 'revolutionary' QB. It seems to be hyperbole that's reserved exclusively for run-first black QB's, despite the fact that none of them have ever won anything as a starter. 10 hours ago, The Golden God said: No idea who you support but here for the Ravens hate, they’re one of the most despicable teams in all of sport. Chargers. First time in 35 years I've ever been glad for a Raiders win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
